Description
Naphthalene-based water reducing agents can be used to formulate highly flowable, high-strength, and high-performance concrete. This dataset includes major raw and auxiliary materials, energy consumption, and atmospheric emissions from the production process; infrastructure such as production equipment and factory construction is not included within the system boundaries of the dataset. The life cycle inventory is compiled from data derived from multiple sources. The manufacturing process of naphthalene-based water reducing agents involves several steps, including acid preparation, premixing, synthesis, adding base water, charging additives, supplementing mother liquor, and water addition.
Activity Description
The production activities of this product include processes such as acid preparation, pre-dissolution, synthesis, adding base water, charging additives, supplementing mother liquor, and water supplementation.
Process Description
Naphthalene-based water reducers are mainly composed of acrylic acid, sugar, monomers, and defoamers, characterized by high water reduction rate, non-air-entraining properties, and strong compatibility. They can also be combined with various other admixtures and are suitable for formulating highly flowable, high-strength, and high-performance concrete.
