Water reducing agent monomer usually refers to the water reducing agent components used in concrete or cement products, which are used to improve the fluidity of concrete, reduce the water cement ratio, and thereby enhance the strength and durability of concrete. Water reducing agents are mainly divided into the following categories:
Naphthalene based water reducing agent: The main component is naphthalene sulfonate, which has good water reducing effect and slump retention performance.
Paraffin based water reducing agent: The main component is paraffin sulfonate, which can effectively improve the fluidity of concrete.
Polycarboxylate based water reducing agent: This is a newly emerging water reducing agent in recent years, with better water reducing efficiency and adaptability, suitable for high-performance concrete.
Alginate water reducing agent: such as sodium alginate, has a certain water reducing effect.
The selection of water reducing agents should be based on specific engineering requirements, concrete mix proportions, and construction conditions.
