The innovative development of EPEG promotes the innovation of building materials

With the continuous increase in demand for high-performance concrete in the construction industry, the market for polycarboxylate superplasticizer monomers has ushered in new changes. Among them, the EPEG series monomers, such as EPEG3500, EPEG3000 and other 6-carbon monomers, have become the focus of the industry.

EPEG type polyether monomers have a special molecular structure, high double bond electron cloud density, low steric hindrance, and extremely high reactivity. Taking the RY series EPEG601 as an example, its morphology is white or slightly yellow flakes, with a molecular weight of about 3000. When used to synthesize polycarboxylate water reducers, it not only has high polymerization activity and monomer conversion rate, but also has excellent water reduction and slump retention properties, making it highly adaptable to improving poor quality concrete flooring.

In practical applications, combining with other water reducing agent monomers to participate in polymerization reactions can further optimize the molecular structure of polycarboxylate water reducing agents. By adjusting the proportion of EPEG monomers with different molecular weights, such as reasonable compounding of EPEG3500 and EPEG3000, the performance of water reducing agents can be precisely controlled to meet the needs of different building scenarios. This not only improves the fluidity, strength, and durability of concrete, but also reduces the amount of cement used, saving costs.

Industry experts say that the innovative application of EPEG series monomers will continue to promote the upgrading of polycarboxylate superplasticizer technology and inject new impetus into the green and efficient development of the construction industry.
