CONCRETE PLASTICIZER
[CODE NO 3032] J.C.1057
Superplasticizers (SPs) are recognized as important admixtures for their
applications in modern concrete technology. Efforts have long been made by
scientists and technologists to keep fresh concrete fluid to provide homogeneous
transport of all particles in the building industry. Traditional techniques which
use the superplasticizers such as sulfonated melamine formaldehyde condensate
(SMF) and sulfonated naphthalene formaldehyde condensate play a positive role in
maintaining high fluiding concrete. The superplasticizers interact with the surface
of cement particles and involve dispersion and decreasing of the natural tendency
to coagulate in concrete. Polycarboxylates (PC) are recently commonly used as
superplasticizers to disperse cement particles in concrete and mortar. However, it
has been known that the dispersing force of PC for cement and its time variation
are significantly affected by even slight differences in concrete components or
mixing conditions. Such instability of the dispersing force is explained by the
incompatibility between cement and PC. Moreover, the side chain of the
copolymer-type PC is composed of polyethylene oxide units. The methyl oxide
bonds are easy to break under heat and oxygen. Furthermore, as a new
generation water-reducing agent, the PC water-reducing agent would face the
problem of short resources in the near future for nonregenerate ability of crylic
acid derived from petroleum, so melamine superplasticizer has shown great
advantage. Melamine superplasticizer is one of the most commonly employed due
to its colorless, nontoxic, and good thermal stability. However, the application of
traditional melamine water reducing agent is becoming less and less due to the
complex production process, high cost, and relatively inferior slump loss. Along
with the architecture industrial development and on the concrete performance
requirements to improve, the development of high performance superplasticizer is
imperative.
