General description
TRXR-250L is a phosphate-based retarder with no special water-quality requirements. Within its application temperature range, it extends cement slurry thickening time. It is suitable for all classes of oil-well cement that comply with the Chinese national standard, as well as typical weighting and lightweight materials. TRXR-250L has some dispersing effect on cement slurries and little effect on fluid loss.
