Latexes

Gas migration can be controlled with a cement system that includes latex, stabilizers and dispersants. These latex systems can reduce fluid loss, increase acid resistance, and improve high-temperature suspension properties.   In general, latexes are colloidal in nature, with particles larger than a molecule, but smaller than grains of sand.  These particles also have a very large surface area.  As a result, the particles coagulate and deliver low permeability for a gas-tight cement sheath. Additionally, latexes enhance tensile and flexural strengths of the cement sheath.

Lap-1 Cement Additive
Provides a means of preparing latex cement from a powdered material which offers fluid loss control, does not retard, and is effective up to 180 °F (82.2°C)
Latex 2000™ Cement Additive
Excellent fluid-loss control, high-temperature suspension properties, and acid resistance to cement slurries.
Latex 3000™ Cement Additive
Designed to lower equivalent circulating density (ECD) and impart excellent fluid-loss control, high-temperature suspension properties, and acid resistance to cement slurries. Can reduce or eliminate stabilizer and is compatible with salt slurries.
Stabilizer 434B Latex Stabilizer
Liquid material used with Latex 2000 cement to stabilize latex in the cement slurry.
