The present invention discloses a concrete brightener and a preparation method thereof, comprising the following components by weight: 100-140 parts of a hydrophilic unsaturated
carboxylic acid ester, 70-100 parts of a lipophilic unsaturated
carboxylic acid ester, 0.5-2 parts of a modified single-walled
carbon nanotube, 8-14 parts of
ethylene glycol distearate, 5-9 parts of an imidazoline compound, 2-7 parts of a polyglycerol
fatty acid ester, 6-12 parts of a
nonionic surfactant, 18-35 parts of a
fluorocarbon surfactant, 5-9 parts of a molecular
regulator, 3-8 parts of an initiator, and 664-783 parts of water. The present invention can be used in conjunction with an admixture during concrete
prefabrication. After use, the concrete brightener has a
smooth surface and more uniform color of
cement products, can maintain a long-lasting brightening effect, and can achieve strong adsorption and dispersion effects on
cement, thereby improving the strength and surface
hardness of
cement products and enhancing the
surface brightness, smoothness, and
wear resistance of cement products. Furthermore, the present invention has mild preparation conditions and does not use any organic solvents during the synthesis process, making it safe and
environmentally friendly.
