DESCRIPTION - Fritz FL-7L is a non-aqueous suspension of FL-7 recommended for cementing
systems to control the loss of filtrate from a cement slurry.

ADVANTAGES
• FL-7L is a blend of a modified cellulose and dispersant used to control the loss of
water from a cementing system when pumped or squeezed against a porous environment.
• It also functions as a cement retarder and may increase the viscosity of a slurry.
• It may be used in wells having bottom hole circulating temperatures from 60 to 250°F. (16 C to 121 C)

APPLICATION
• FL-7L may be used for fluid loss control in any API class of cement (A, C, G, or H).
• It may be used with other cement additives such as dispersants, silica flour, retarders,
defoamers and weighting materials.
• FL-7L is not recommended for use in slurries with salt concentratons of 18% bww or greater.

PROPERTIES
• Tan Liquid with Mineral Oil Odor
• Activity – 42.0%
• Specific Gravity – 1.00
• Bulk Density – 8.332 lb./gal.
• Absolute Volume – 0.1200 gal./lb.
• Water Requirements – 0.4 to 0.5 gal./sk
• Disperses in water
• Loading Rate – 0.11 to 0.40 gal./sk (0.41 to 1.52 L/sk)
• Packaged in 5 gallon pails and 55 gallon drums
