Use of Sulfonate Salts in Concrete
Sulfonate Salts ( sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate , sodium linear alkyl benzene sulfonate and sodium alpha olefinsulfonate ) mainly act as air entraining agents and water reducing agents in concrete. 1. Major function: 1). During the mixing process of concrete, a large number of uniformly distributed, stable and closed tiny bubbles are generated inside the concrete. 2). Improve concrete cohesion, water retention and anti-segregation properties 3). Improve concrete pumpability 4). Reduce plastic cracks and settlement cracks 5). Greatly improve concrete's ability to resist freeze-thaw cycles 6). Enhance concrete's resistance to chemical attack 2. Dosage: The appropriate dosage is 0.005-0.015% of the general cement mass 3. Application: 1). Can be used for frost-resistant concrete, impermeable concrete, sulfate-resistant concrete, severely water-infiltrated concrete, lean concrete, lightweight aggregate concrete, artificial aggregates made with ordinary concr...
