Sodium naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde (SNF/PNS/FND/NSF), also called poly naphthalene sulfonate or sulphonated naphthalene formaldehyde, is commonly referred to as a superplasticizer for concrete. It is the light brown powder in appearance. SNF has a strong dispersion effect on cement particles, and the water reduction rate can reach 15-25%. Sodium Naphthalene is especially suitable for the preparation of high-strength concrete, steam-cured concrete, fluid concrete, impermeable concrete, waterproof concrete, plasticized concrete, steel bars and prestressed reinforced concrete.

Naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensate is made of naphthalene, sulfuric acid, formaldehyde and liquid base, and undergoes a series of reactions such as sulfonation, hydrolysis, condensation and neutralization, and then dried into SNF powder. Of course, different models of naphthalene sulfonate powder also have different technical specifications.

Main Applications of Sodium Naphthalene Sulfonate

(1) SNF superplasticizer is widely used in various concrete projects such as railways, highways, bridges, hydropower, ports, docks, industrial and civil buildings, prefabricated components, and concrete with sodium sulfate content requirements.

(2) Besides, sodium naphthalene sulfonate (SNF) can also be used as a dispersant in the leather, textile and dye industries, etc.

Advantages of Poly Naphthalene Sulfonate (PNS)

  • High water reduction rate. When the water-cement ratio is constant, the initial slump of concrete can be increased by more than 10cm, and the water reduction rate of poly naphthalene sulfonate can reach up to 15-25%. More importantly, when the strength and slump are basically the same, The poly naphthalene sulfonate can also reduce the amount of cement used by 10-25%.
  • Good enhancement. The poly naphthalene sulfonate superplasticizer has obvious early strength and enhancement effect on concrete, and the strength increase range is 20-60%.
  • Adaptability. Naphthalene sulfonate is suitable for various specifications and models of cement. And it has good compatibility with other concrete admixtures, for example, it can be combined with an admixture such as a swelling agent, an air entraining agent, and an active admixture such as fly ash.
  • Good durability. It can effectively improve the pore structure of the concrete, thereby greatly improving the durability indexes of concrete such as impermeability, carbonation resistance and freeze-thaw resistance.
  • Improve the workability of concrete. Comprehensively improve the physical and mechanical properties of concrete.
  • Suitable for many concrete projects. Such as fluid concrete, plasticized concrete, steam-cured concrete, impermeable concrete, waterproof concrete, natural curing precast concrete, steel and prestressed reinforced concrete, high-strength and ultra-high-strength concrete.
  • Safety performance. Sodium naphthalene sulfonate is a non-hazardous chemical with many characteristics such as non-toxic, non-irritating and non-radioactive. No corrosion effect on steel reinforcement.
