BioDrill RC100 series
Borregaard’s BioDrill® RC product family includes a wide range of speciality cement retarders and dispersants.
Variation in well conditions dictates the need for specialised retarders to fulfil proper zonal isolation requirements. Our BioDrill RC additives are used to retard cement, extend pump times, and allow the cement to set at the desired location in the production string over a broad spectrum of cements and drilling temperatures.
Besides, several BioDrill retarders provide a valuable dual function. In addition to functioning as a retarder, some also perform well as cement dispersants.
The BioDrill RC100 series of cement retarders is designed for circulating temperatures up to approximately 175°F [80°C].
BioDrill RC102 is the strongest retarder in this group.
BioDrill RC103 exhibits the best salt tolerance.
