Abstract
Abstract In a method of cementing at relatively high ambient temperatures employing an aqueous hydraulic cement slurry, the improvement comprising admixing therewith an effective amount of both (1) a salt of lignosulfonic acid and (2) boric acid or a borate whereby a synergistic retarding effect on the setting rate of the slurry is attained without any accompanying adverse effects.
