- Diacel® FL Powder Cement Fluid-Loss Additive

Diacel^® FL Powder Cement Fluid-Loss Additive

Diacel^®FL Powder Cement Fluid-loss Additive is a low- to high-temperature range polymer that is dry blended with the cement powder prior to preparation of the cement slurry. Diacel^®FL Winterized Liquid Cement Fluid-loss Additive is an aqueous-based liquid polymer that is added into the mix water prior to preparation of the cement slurry.

Both products are non-retarding fluid-loss agents. Their non-retarding property reduces the need for accelerators at low temperatures or with low-density cement slurries. Their fluid-loss control performance is improved when used in conjunction with dispersants and most retarders. With Diacel^®FL Winterized Liquid Cement Fluid-loss Additive, a retarder is typically required above 100°F.
