Particulate Flow Enhancing Additives and Associated Methods

A method comprising:

• providing a dry, solid particulate material comprising a cementitious material, a non-cementitious material, or a combination thereof and having a flow enhancing additive absorbed thereon, the flow enhancing additive comprising:
• a flow inducing chemical,
• ethylene glycol, and
• water;
• mixing the solid, flowable material with a sufficient amount of water to form a pumpable slurry;
• and,
• placing the pumpable slurry in a subterranean formation.
