RadiLock Fibers Benefits
- Used in areas where lost circulation control is critical, while also providing a more durable, long-lasting cement.
- The only multifunctional fiber technology in the market today:
- –Return to surface properties are enhanced
- –Pumping with cement due to multiple the benefits including the benefit of mechanical properties, fluid loss, improved bonding
- Fiber technology that can be dosed in the bulk plant for consistent loadings, while also being hand dosed at site in cement & spacers.
