Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of building materials, specifically to a preservative for polycarboxylate superplasticizers containing isothiazolinone compositions and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, polycarboxylate superplasticizers often require the addition of a certain amount of preservatives during use to extend their service life and stability. However, existing preservatives have the following drawbacks: (1) Release of harmful substances: Some traditional preservatives contain harmful substances, such as formaldehyde, benzene, and other volatile organic compounds, which may be released into the environment, posing a potential risk to human health. (2) Reduced water-reducing effect: Some preservatives may interact with polycarboxylate molecules at high concentrations, resulting in impaired performance of the superplasticizer and reduced water-reducing effect. (3) Impact on cement gel: Some preservatives may react with cement gel, causing slower hardening speed or prolonged setting time of cement, affecting the process performance of concrete. (4) Environmental pollution problems: Some preservatives generate pollutants during production and use, causing negative impacts on the environment.

[0003] To address the shortcomings of using preservatives in polycarboxylate superplasticizers, several improvements have been made: (1) Environmentally friendly inorganic salts or organic compounds are used as alternative preservatives. These alternatives are safer and do not produce harmful volatile organic compounds. For example, some studies have proposed using potassium chloride or other harmless salts as preservatives for polycarboxylate superplasticizers. (2) The compatibility between superplasticizers and preservatives is improved by modifying the structure and synthesis methods of polycarboxylate molecules, thereby reducing their interaction. For example, some studies have improved the interaction between polycarboxylate molecules and preservatives by adjusting the side chain structure and length, thus improving the water-reducing effect. (3) Preservatives that do not react adversely with cement gels are sought. For example, some studies have shown that using specific organic acid preservatives, such as benzoic acid and propionic acid, can reduce their impact on cement gels. (4) Environmental friendliness and sustainability are given more attention when selecting preservatives. For example, preservatives with good biodegradability and less environmental impact are selected. In addition, environmental pollution can be reduced by improving production processes and reducing or avoiding the emission of harmful substances.

[0004] Therefore, more environmentally friendly preservatives are needed in the future. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the problems mentioned in the background section, this invention provides a preservative for polycarboxylate superplasticizers containing an isothiazolinone composition and a method for preparing the same.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:

[0007] A preservative for polycarboxylate superplasticizers containing an isothiazolinone composition, comprising, by weight, the following raw materials: 1-15 parts preservative monomer, 0.5-2.0 parts bactericidal monomer, 1-2 parts stabilizer, and 50-90 parts water; wherein the bactericidal monomer is an isothiazolinone composition, comprising isothiazolinone derivatives and isothiazolinone quaternary ammonium salts; and the preservative monomer is an organic bromine compound with the following structural formula:

[0008]

[0009] Where M is One of them.

[0010] Preferably, the structural formula of the isothiazolinone derivative is as follows:

[0011]

[0012] In the formula, R1 is CH3COO-, One of them.

[0013] Preferably, the structural formula of the isothiazolinone quaternary ammonium salt is as follows:

[0014]

[0015] In the formula, n is a positive integer from 5 to 10, and R2 is an alkyl group with 1 to 5 carbon atoms.

[0016] Preferably, the stabilizer is at least one selected from propylene glycol, propylene glycol fatty acid ester, D-mannitol, propylene glycol alginate, chitosan, and polyglycerol ricinoleate.

[0017] A method for preparing a preservative for a polycarboxylate superplasticizer containing an isothiazolinone composition, comprising the following steps by weight:

[0018] Step (1): Add the preservative monomer and the bactericidal monomer to 10-30 parts by weight of water, stir evenly to obtain a mixture;

[0019] Step (2): Add the stabilizer to the mixture, add the remaining water, and stir to obtain the preservative for the polycarboxylate superplasticizer.

[0020] Preferably, the stirring time in step (2) is 10 to 30 minutes.

[0021] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0022] (1) This invention uses organic bromine substances as preservative monomers, which hydrolyze in water to release HO-Br, which can form relatively stable hydrogen-halogen bonds with microorganisms, thus preventing the erosion of mold and other microorganisms under complex environmental conditions and preventing the sample from becoming moldy and deteriorating.

[0023] (2) The present invention uses isothiazolinone derivatives and isothiazolinone quaternary ammonium salts as preservative monomers. The activity of their heterocyclic structures can effectively destroy the structure of bacteria. Combined with the functional characteristics of isothiazolinone and quaternary ammonium salts, it has strong antiseptic and bactericidal properties.

[0024] (3) The present invention uses organic bromine and isothiazolinone composition as preservative active components to enhance the antimicrobial effect, prevent the preservative and bactericidal effect from decreasing after long-term use, expand the range of inhibition of microbial growth, and enhance the drug resistance and tolerance of the preservative.

[0025] (4) The preservative for polycarboxylate superplasticizer prepared in this invention has strong practicality. Detailed Implementation
