Sodium Naphthalene Sulfonate for Concrete | SNF Water Reducer

Our Sodium Naphthalene Sulfonate (SNF) water reducer is a high-performance synthetic powder, formulated from β-sulfonate formaldehyde condensate and reactive polymers. It delivers exceptional water reduction, effectively retards setting time, and significantly boosts compressive strength. Available in low-sulfate grades (Na₂SO₄ content below 5%, or up to 10% per grade), it is the ideal superplasticizer for medium- to high-strength concrete mixes that demand high water cut rates and superior workability.

  Introduction

This Sodium Naphthalene Sulfonate is a synthetic powder made from β‑sulfonate formaldehyde condensate and reactive polymers. It’s a high-performance sodium naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde superplasticizer for concrete that gives strong water reduction, slows setting, 1and boosts strength. 

As a low-sulfate SNF water reducer for high-strength concrete, it can have a sodium sulfate content below 5% (or up to about 10% depending on the grade), making it ideal for medium- to high-strength mixes that require large water cuts.

 Usage Instructions

Dosage

       Blending dosage: 0.5%–1.0% (by weight of cement), with a recommended  

       dosage of 0.6%.

     Adjust dosage based on specific mix design and performance requirements.

Solution Preparation

      Prepare aqueous solutions as needed, following standard mixing procedures 

      for concrete admixtures.

Application Methods

     PNS (Polynaphthalene Sulfonate) can be used directly.

     Alternatively, add the agent to the mix, followed by water addition, maintaining a water-to-cement ratio of 60%

     (or as specified in the mix design).

Overview of the Application of Naphthalene Series Water Reducer

1. The low-sulfate sodium naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde water reducer for high-strength concrete (Na₂SO₄<5%) is ideal for  

     high-rise buildings and precast elements, with 20-25% water reduction and 28d strength up to 85 MPa, saving 12-18% cement.

2. Our high-performance SNF water reducer for concrete works perfectly for long-span 

      bridges and ready-mix concrete, ensuring good pumpability, 18-23% water reduction, and stable strength.

3. Suitable for hydropower dams and road projects, the low-sulfate naphthalene water reducer (Na₂SO₄<10%) features retarding 

      effect, low-heat hydration, and improved impermeability and wear resistance.

4. The composite solution of Sodium Naphthalene Sulfonate for high-strength concrete + retarder + fiber effectively controls cracks, 

      with a 95% crack-control rate and high durability for underground projects.
