Product overview

Sulfonated Melamine Formaldehyde also known as melamine-based water reducer, is a high-performance cement dispersant. The following is an explanation of its product performance and application fields.

Sulfonated Melamine Formaldehyde

Key properties

Characteristic CategorySpecify
MorphologyIt is usually white or pale white powder, readily soluble in water
Chemical CompositionSulfonated Melamine Formaldehyde Resin,an Anionic Surfactant
Core PerformanceLow water reduction rate: generally between 20% and 30%, which can effectively reduce water consumption Early Strength Enhancement: Significantly Improving Early and Late Strength of Concrete Low air content: The introduced air content is low (about 3%-4%), which does not significantly reduce the density of concrete Improving the durability: can improve the anti-seepage, anti-shrinkage and other properties
Environmental SafetyThe content of chloride ion and other harmful components is very low, and it has no corrosion effect on the steel bar.

Main application areas

Sulfonated Melamine Formaldehyde with its outstanding performance, is primarily used in the following fields:

Special Mortar and Concrete: This is its most critical and most extensively used application field.

Self-leveling mortar/flooring material: Ensures high flowability and self-leveling properties for a smooth, even surface.

Refractory materials: It has good adaptability to aluminate cement, etc. It is often used to prepare refractory castables and refractory bricks, and can significantly improve its high temperature strength and durability.

Waterproof mortar: As an essential component of waterproofing materials, it effectively enhances the water resistance of concrete or mortar.

High-strength concrete/grouting material: used to formulate high-strength concrete and equipment foundation grouting materials, meeting the requirements of high strength and durability.

Ordinary building mortar: Also used in dry-mixed mortar products such as thermal insulation mortar, tile adhesive, and plastering mortar to improve workability and strength.

Other industrial applications: Due to its dispersed and stable properties, it is occasionally used as an additive in coatings, inks, and other industries.

The field with the highest usage

In these applications, specialty mortars and concrete—particularly self-leveling floor mortars and refractory materials—represent the primary sectors where melamine water reducers are predominantly used. This is mainly due to their exceptional adaptability to specific cements (e.g., aluminates), high water-reducing efficiency, and ability to enhance surface gloss and durability.
