Cement Additives

Oil and Gas Technologies

With good chemistry great things happen.™

Ashland is the world’s leading manufacturer of additives for drilling fluids, stimulation fluids, completion fluids, workover
fluids, cementing slurries and production.

We provide oil and gas service companies superior and cost-effective fluids performance across a broad range of pH,
temperature and salt conditions. Our high-quality products are versatile, widely compatible and environmentally friendly.1

Cementing Additives manufactured by Ashland include hydroxyethylcellulose, carboxymethyl hydroxyethylcellulose,

synthetics and surfactants. We provide a broad range of effective solutions for oil-well cement slurries under a wide range
of temperature and salt conditions.
