Modified fatty acid, polycarboxylate superplasticizer and preparation method of polycarboxylate superplasticizer
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of concrete admixtures, and particularly relates to a modified fatty acid, a polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent and a preparation method of the polycarboxylic acid water reducing agent.
Background
Compared with the traditional naphthalene water reducer and calcium lignosulfonate water reducer, the polycarboxylic acid high-performance water reducer has the advantages of high water reducing rate, high slump loss resistance, good durability, low shrinkage and the like, and is a concrete admixture which is most widely applied at the present stage.
Due to the polyether structure in the polycarboxylate superplasticizer, more air bubbles are easily introduced in the mixing process, and the air content of concrete is easily increased, so that the problem of poor apparent quality of concrete is caused. The bare concrete of some key projects has higher requirements on the concrete appearance quality, and a low-air-entraining polycarboxylate water reducing agent is needed to improve the pitted surface of the concrete.
The method for compounding the defoaming agent and the water reducing agent is simple and easy to implement, but the poor compatibility of part of the defoaming agent and the water reducing agent causes poor dispersibility of the defoaming agent, the homogeneity of the water reducing agent is influenced, and the defoaming agent is easy to separate from water along with the increase of the storage time and floats on the surface of the water reducing agent solution, so that the use effect of the defoaming agent is influenced.
