Development direction of early strength properties of calcium formate technical grade in concrete admixture

 The raw materials of the concrete are abundant, the price is low, and the characteristics of the simple production process are increasing. Used in actual projects, the admixture has played an important role in improving concrete performance, improving construction efficiency and saving investment costs. Calcium formate early strength agent is one of them. Next, we mainly explain the development direction of some calcium formate technical grade early strength agents.


Concrete early strength agent is one of the earliest used additives in the history of admixture development. So far, people have developed a variety of early strength additives in addition to chloride and sulfate, such as nitrite, chromate, etc., and organic early strength agents, such as calcium formate, urea, etc.


However, with the deepening of people's understanding of the potential hazards of chloride ions, sulfate ions, nitrate ions and alkali metal ions on the performance and long-term stability of concrete, as well as the development of large-volume slag powder or fly ash concrete, formic acid Calcium is used more in actual projects.


The development direction of calcium formate technical grade early strength agent:

(1) Vigorously develop the production and application of calcium formate early strength agent. Greatly increase the early strength development rate of concrete; it can not only improve the early strength of concrete, but also bring benefits to the later strength development of concrete.

(2) Incorporated into cement stick concrete, it acts as a catalyst in the cement hydration process, it can accelerate the hydration of C3A and the formation of ettringite, and the early strength effect is better. The formic acid in the calcium formate early strength agent is a weak acid, and there is a process of hydrolysis in the aqueous solution. Therefore, the aqueous solution of calcium formate should be weakly alkaline, which can not only play a good early strength effect, but also prevent some early strength components from causing corrosion of steel reinforcement in the concrete.

(3) Incorporating calcium formate early strength agent changes the sulfate resistance of concrete. It is suitable for pumping and non-pumping construction of ordinary concrete and prestressed reinforced concrete. It has good applicability to ordinary portland cement and slag portland cement.

(4) Carrying out the research on the adaptability of calcium formate early strength agent to cement/admixture to choose the early strength agent more scientifically and receive better and more economical application effects.


Concrete early strength agents are mostly inorganic salts, and when the amount is large, it is detrimental to the later strength of the concrete. Chloride early strength agent can cause steel bar corrosion. Sulfate early strength agent may produce volume expansion, which reduces the durability of concrete. Sodium early strength agent will increase the alkali content of concrete and increase the risk of alkali-aggregate reaction. In fact, modern industrial development of calcium formate early strength agent has been used in large quantities in actual projects. It has played an important role in improving concrete performance, improving construction efficiency and saving investment costs.

What role will industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate manufacturers play in the future coating industry?

图片
The keyword in 2019 is environmental protection and safety. In 2020, environmental protection and safety hurricanes will be more violent. In the manufacturing industry, whether it's packaging, printing, furniture, shipping industry or the phosphate raw material manufacturing enterprises like Chongqing Chuandong Chemical Group that produce  industrial grade sodium hexametaphosphate , it's a good choice to withstand the environmental storm and the obvious environmental protection conditions of the enterprise itself. Take the paint industry for example, the current paint market can be found that although the domestic paint industry has achieved rapid development and formed a certain industry scale, but in the domestic high-end paint market, the domestic paint brands or enterprises are indeed few, and the domestic high-end paint market is still occupied by most of the market share of imported brands. In fact, all industries need to use coatings, and environmental protection coating

What is the use of calcium formate industrial grade in construction? The manufacturer tells you

  With the development of the city's economy, the construction of highways, bridges, tunnels, and civil construction projects will require stricter use of early strength agents. Especially in winter, in order to improve the construction period, the cement mortar needs to be raised as soon as possible and put into use.   Calcium formate industrial grade   is a good early strength agent. Although both calcium formate and calcium chloride are calcium salts, relatively speaking, the performance of calcium formate is more stable. Because the formic acid in calcium formate is a weak acid. The solution will be weakly alkaline during the hydrolysis in the aqueous solution. It can be widely used in mortar. Calcium formate industrial grade is now a newly developed low temperature early strength accelerator in China, which has been widely used in various construction cement mortars. The earliest known and used chlorine salt early strength agent in construction, but the chloride salt early str

The effect of calcium supplement with feed grade calcium formate is good when crops are short of calcium

  Is it true that crops also need calcium supplements? it is true. Crops are plants, like humans and animals, that need rich trace elements to help them grow. When crops are calcium-deficient, plant growth is hindered, and the internodes are shorter, so they are generally shorter than normal plants and have soft tissues. Since calcium has such a big effect, is it good to use   feed grade calcium formate   to supplement calcium? The meristems such as the apical buds, lateral buds, and root tips of crops with calcium-deficient plants first appear nutrient deficiency, which is perishable, the young leaves are curled and deformed, and the leaf edges begin to turn yellow and become necrotic. For example, calcium deficiency can cause leaf scorch disease in cabbage, cabbage and lettuce; tomato, pepper, watermelon, etc. have heart rot; apples have bitter pox and water heart disease. No matter how much is useless, the crops are short of calcium. If we want to achieve the actual effect, what sho
