Sodium naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde (SNF), also named poly naphthalene sulfonate (PNS) or sulphonated naphthalene formaldehyde, is light brown powder in appearance. As a commonly used high-efficiency water reducing agent for concrete, Its main chemical component is naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensate. Sodium naphthalene has the characteristics of high water reduction rate, small impact on the setting time of concrete, and low air entrainment. Therefore, SNF is widely used in highways, bridges, dams, docks, tunnels, water conservancy and industrial and civil construction projects, steam curing and natural curing, prefabricated components, etc.
Naphthalene superplasticizer is the main raw material for various compound admixtures, such as pumping agent, retarding superplasticizer, early-strength superplasticizer, etc. It can be used for concrete construction where the daily minimum temperature is above 0℃, and can also be used to prepare high-fluidity concrete, high-strength concrete and steam-cured concrete.

Main Performance Characteristics of Sodium Naphthalene Sulfonate
High water reduction rate. In most cases, the water reduction rate of SNF can reach more than 25%. It can effectively increase the fluidity of concrete, reduce bleeding and segregation, thereby improving the workability of concrete, making it easier to construct and compact.
Enhancement. Naphthalene series superplasticizer can significantly improve the strength and durability of concrete, especially for high-strength concrete and prestressed concrete.
Adaptable. It can be adapted to various specifications and models of cement. It has good compatibility with other admixtures, and can be matched with admixtures such as expansion agents, air-entraining agents, and active admixtures such as fly ash to complement and stimulate each other.
The setting time is appropriate. This product has little effect on the initial and final setting time of cement, and the difference in setting time is generally within 1 hour.
Low sodium sulfate content. In winter, SNF does not crystallize after being formulated into a liquid, thereby solving the problem of pipe blockage caused by sodium sulfate crystallization in winter concrete manufacturing, and greatly facilitating winter concrete construction.
Good durability. SNF can effectively improve the pore structure of concrete, thereby greatly improving the durability performance indicators of concrete such as impermeability, carbonation resistance, and freeze-thaw resistance.
Easy to use. SNF powder can be used directly, or it can be dissolved in water first and used as a solution-type admixture. It is suitable for various construction environments or mixer types.
