    R-3 is a lignosulfonate powder cement retarder used to extend thickening time at temperatures up to 240°F. It provides predictable thickening times with small concentration changes, allows early strength development, and disperses slurry for lower mixing viscosity. R-3 is compatible with most cements and additives, requires small concentrations for results, and is economical compared to other retarders. It can be dry blended or dispersed in water but cannot be used with some slurry types. Competitive products include HR-5/HR-6 and D-13.

    R-3
    Applications

    R-3 is a finely-ground lignosulfonate powder used as a low-to moderate-temperature retarder, R-3 is functional in
    a wide range of formulations to extend the slurry thickening time at temperatures up to 240F (115C) BHCT. R-3
    provides dispersing properties during mixing and good strength development.

    Features
    Predictable Thickening T
    imes
    Times
    Provides predictable thickening times with small concentration changes.
    Compressive Strength Development
    Allows early strength development in most slurry designs at BHST.
    iscosity
    Low Mixing V
    Viscosity
    Disperses the slurry, providing lower mixing viscosities.

    Benefits
    Compatible with all API cements and most BJ cement additives. Its specific gravity is 1.36.
    Normally requires small concentrations for desired results (0.1 % to 1.0%).
    Very economical compared to other cement retarders.
    Normally dry-blended but may be easily dispersed in the mixing water.

    Safety Precautions
    Use normal personal protective equipment when working with R-3.

    Limitations
    R-3 can not be used to retard A-2 or Sodium Metasilicate extended (lightweight) slurries.

    Competitive Products
    HR-5/HR-6 and D-13.
