Description

A low-sensitivity room-temperature polycarboxylate water reducer and its preparation method and application

[0001] CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS

[0002] This application claims priority to the Chinese patent application with application number 202311699102.2, filed with the Chinese Patent Office on December 12, 2023, entitled "A low-sensitive room-temperature polycarboxylate water-reducing agent, its preparation method and application", the entire contents of which are incorporated by reference into this application. Technical Field

[0003] The invention belongs to the field of admixtures, and particularly relates to a low-sensitivity room-temperature polycarboxylate water reducer and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0004] Polycarboxylate water reducers are the third generation of concrete water reducers. Polycarboxylate water reducers are mainly produced by copolymerizing unsaturated polyether macromonomers with unsaturated carboxylic acids / sulfonic acids. The most common polyether macromonomers on the market include allyl polyethylene glycol ether (APEG), methyl allyl polyethylene glycol ether (HPEG), and isopentenyl polyethylene glycol ether (TPEG). This type of polyether macromonomer has a simple synthesis process, stable chemical properties, and good product quality, but it also has a number of problems. On the one hand, HPEG and TPEG products account for the vast majority of existing polyether macromonomers, and the product structure is relatively simple. On the other hand, during the application of polyether macromonomers, some problems have emerged, such as incompatibility with concrete raw materials and extreme sensitivity to the mud content in sand and gravel. In recent years, the structure of polyether macromonomers has undergone significant changes in the market. Polyether manufacturers have launched new vinyl ether macromonomers, including 2+2 and 2+4 macromonomers (EPEG and VPEG). Vinyl ether macromonomers require a low initial reaction temperature, generally below 20°C. Furthermore, in existing processes, the oxidant is generally added to the substrate all at once, while the reducing agent is added dropwise. This requires refrigeration equipment to control the initial reaction temperature below 20°C. If the initial reaction temperature exceeds 20°C, the dispersion and slump retention properties of the prepared polycarboxylate superplasticizer will be significantly reduced. This drawback has seriously hindered the promotion and application of vinyl ether polyether macromonomers in the superplasticizer industry. Furthermore, polycarboxylate superplasticizers often undergo involution due to their inherent molecular structure instability, resulting in a significant decrease in dispersibility and water reduction rate. However, vinyl ether polycarboxylate superplasticizers prepared at low temperatures are prone to delayed water exudation in downstream applications and are sensitive to the dosage. High dosages can lead to water exudation and segregation, while low dosages can result in slow flow rates.
