dispersants


Explanation:
Chemicals and materials added to a cement slurry to modify the characteristics of the slurry or set cement. Cement additives may be broadly categorized as accelerators, retarders, fluid-loss additives, dispersants, extenders, weighting agents, lost-circulation additives and special additives designed for specific operating conditions. Cement additives are commonly available in powder or liquid form, enabling some flexibility in how the cement slurry is prepared.
