Can be used to achieve a slurry weight as low as 12.0ppg. Bentonite in concentrations of 2โ€“4% is also added to prevent segregation of particles and slurry. 802:- engineered high strength (unicellular) low density (average true densities as low as 0.3 g/cc for the medium strength versions), non porous hollow glass spheres, usually below 40 ฮผm in average particle size, enable hydraulic cement slurries as low as 8 PpG (960 Kg/m^3) 887:. Silica fume (micro fume) is highly reactive, and is regarded as the most effective pozzolanic material available. The high surface area increases the water demand to get pumpable slurry. Such a mixture can produce a cement slurry as low as 11.0 ppg. 695:
