Abstract

The invention relates to the cementing of high temperature wells. The retarder consists of a methylene phosphonic acid derivative and of a boric acid or a borate at least as acid as borax in an aqueous solution, in particular, Na pentaborate, in a preferred ratio of 0.08 to 0.92 parts by weight. A long setting time and a very swift compressive strength development are obtained at the same time.
