Application Method and Precautions of Naphthalene Sulfonate Superplasticizer


Highly efficient water reducing agents play a vital role in modern concrete technology. Among them, Jufu Chemical's naphthalene sulfonate superplasticizer is highly recognised in the industry for its unique properties and wide range of applications. The purpose of this paper is to introduce in detail the application method and precautions of this product and its important role in concrete engineering.


Basic Properties of Naphthalene Sulfonate Superplasticizer


Naphthalene sulfonate superplasticizer is a kind of high-efficiency concrete additive developed by Jufu Chemical. By changing the charge state of cement particles in concrete, it effectively reduces the water consumption of concrete mixes, and at the same time significantly improves the fluidity and pumpability without sacrificing the strength of concrete. This kind of water reducing agent not only has excellent water reducing effect, but also can improve the durability and working performance of concrete.

The Application Method of Naphthalene Sulfonate Superplasticizer


Admixture Determination


The dosage of naphthalene sulfonate superplasticizer should be determined according to the specific project requirements, raw material properties and concrete design strength and other factors. In general, it is recommended to determine the best mixing amount through laboratory tests to ensure that the performance of concrete reaches the best state.


Mixing Process


In the process of concrete mixing, naphthalene sulfonate superplasticizer should be added uniformly before or when adding water. At the same time, the mixing time should be prolonged to ensure that the water reducing agent is in full contact with the cement particles and plays a role.


Mixing Ratio Design


When using naphthalene sulfonate superplasticizer, the concrete proportion should be redesigned. Since the addition of water reducing agent will change the water consumption of concrete, it is necessary to recalculate the parameters such as water-cement ratio and sand rate according to the water reducing rate.

Precautions for Naphthalene Sulfonate Superplasticizer


Avoid Excessive Use


Although naphthalene sulfonate superplasticizer has excellent water reducing effect, but overuse may lead to concrete water secretion, segregation and other phenomena, affecting the performance of concrete. Therefore, the dosage should be strictly controlled in the process of use, avoiding overuse.


Pay Attention to Mixing Evenly


In order to ensure that naphthalene sulfonate superplasticizer and cement particles fully contact and play a role, the mixing process should ensure that the mixing is uniform. At the same time, the mixing time should be extended appropriately to ensure the effect of water reducing agent.


Quality Control of Raw Materials


The performance of naphthalene sulfonate superplasticizer is greatly affected by the quality of raw materials. Therefore, the quality of water reducing agent should be checked whether it meets the requirements before use, and avoid using expired or deteriorated water reducing agent.


Compatibility with Other Admixtures


In concrete projects, a variety of admixtures may be used at the same time. In order to ensure the compatibility of naphthalene sulfonate superplasticizer with other admixtures, it is recommended to carry out test verification before use.

Application Examples of Naphthalene Sulfonate Superplasticizer in Concrete Projects


Jufu Chemical's naphthalene sulfonate superplasticizer has been widely used in various concrete projects, such as high-rise buildings, bridges, tunnels and so on. Through actual engineering applications, the water reducing agent can significantly improve the fluidity and pumpability of concrete, reduce the water consumption of concrete, and improve the strength and durability of concrete. At the same time, the water reducing agent also has the advantages of environmental protection and no pollution, which is in line with the development trend of modern concrete technology.


In summary, Jufu Chemical’s naphthalene sulfonate superplasticizer plays an important role in concrete engineering with its unique performance and wide range of applications. In the process of use, application methods and precautions should be strictly observed to ensure that the performance of concrete reaches the best state.
