Polycarboxylate water-reducing agent is a high-performance water-reducing agent. There is still some room for development in the future market.

Polycarboxylate water-reducing agent has the characteristics of high water-reducing rate, small slump loss, and green and environmental protection. It is a high-performance water-reducing agent. With its advantages, polycarboxylate water-reducing agent is widely used in highways, bridges, buildings, and tunnels. It is widely used in other fields. In recent years, with the expansion of application fields and the continuous improvement of environmental protection requirements, the market demand for polycarboxylate water-reducing agents has gradually been released, and the scale of the industry has continued to expand.

Polycarboxylate water-reducing agent is usually produced by polymerizing methylallyl alcohol and ethylene oxide at a mass ratio of 3:97. Among the production costs of polycarboxylate water-reducing agents, ethylene oxide costs account for the highest proportion, reaching more than 50%. Manufacturing costs and methylallyl alcohol costs are both around 5%, and other raw materials and direct labor costs total 40%. about. In the international market, the main suppliers of polycarboxylate superplasticizers include German BASF, Sika, Grace, Arkema, etc.

According to the “2022-2026 Polycarboxylate Water Reducer Industry In-depth Market Research and Investment Strategy Suggestions Report released by the Industrial Research Center It shows that water-reducing agents are the highest-selling segmented products in the concrete admixture market. In 2020, the sales volume of my country’s water-reducing agent industry will be around 11 million tons. In the water-reducing agent market, high-efficiency water-reducing agents account for more than 75% . As a high-performance water-reducing agent, polycarboxylate water-reducing agent has become one of the important development directions of the water-reducing agent industry.

At present, my country’s polycarboxylate water-reducing agent market is relatively mature. After continuous elimination of the fittest, the polycarboxylate water-reducing agent market is gradually converging on leading companies. At this stage, my country’s large-scale polycarboxylate water-reducing agent manufacturers include Liaoning Aoke Chemical, Real Madrid, Cologne, Dongke and other companies, among which Aoke Chemical has the highest market share. At present, my country’s polycarboxylate water-reducing agent production capacity is mainly concentrated in Northeast and East China. However, in recent years, with the development of the market, the polycarboxylate water-reducing agent production capacity has a clear trend of shifting from north to south.

Polycarboxylate water-reducing agents have excellent performance and are currently widely recognized by the market. However, as a third-generation water-reducing agent product, the molecular structure and working principle of polycarboxylate water-reducing agents are quite different from those of the previous two generations of water-reducing agents. There are still certain problems in practical applications, such as adaptability to other materials, sensitivity to mud content, and compounding of other components. The application issues of polycarboxylate water-reducing agents have attracted much attention from relevant researchers. As research continues to deepen, the application fields of polycarboxylate water-reducing agents are expected to be further expanded.

Industry analysts said that polycarboxylate water-reducing agent is the third generation of high-efficiency concrete water-reducing agent. With its advantages, polycarboxylate water-reducing agent Acid water-reducing admixture has become one of the important development directions in the field of concrete water-reducing admixtures. my country’s polycarboxylate water-reducing agent market is relatively mature. However, with the acceleration of urbanization and the increase in the proportion of high-performance water-reducing agent products, the polycarboxylate water-reducing agent industry still has certain room for development.
