1. Product Overview & Material Composition
This product is a high-performance polycarboxylate-based water-reducing agent synthesized via free-radical copolymerization technology, with C6 polyether macromer as the core raw material.
Its molecular structure is characterized by a high-density branched chain, which significantly enhances the concrete’s water-reducing efficiency and slump retention performance. It features low dosage, high water reduction, excellent slump retention, low shrinkage, high cost-effectiveness, and is environmentally friendly—free of formaldehyde—and is therefore the preferred choice for ready-mixed concrete. This product is a powerful high-range water reducer that combines extreme water reduction with stability and early strength, making it perfect for high-performance structural concrete and commercial applications.
Chemical Composition: It is synthesized via free-radical copolymerization technology. The core raw material is C6 polyether macromer.
Molecular Structure: Characterized by a high-density branched chain structure. This specific architecture is responsible for its high efficiency in water reduction and slump retention.
Physical State: Colorless, transparent liquid.
2. Key Features & Functions
The primary function of this agent is to drastically reduce the water content in concrete while maintaining excellent fluidity over time, offering a balance of high performance and cost-effectiveness.
High Water Reduction: When used at the appropriate dosage, the water-reducing rate can reach 35%-40%.
Excellent Slump Retention: Specifically designed to minimize the loss of concrete slump over time.
High Cost-Effectiveness: Offers a superior balance of performance and price, making it a preferred choice for ready-mixed concrete.
Environmental Safety: Free of formaldehyde, making it environmentally friendly.
Stability: Compared to polycarboxylate water reducers synthesized using C4 monomers, the ZK-9E demonstrates lower sensitivity to material fluctuations and greater stability in the fresh-state behavior of concrete, even when cement content varies.
Improved Durability: Enhances the volume stability and durability of the concrete structure.

4. Application Scenarios
This product is suitable for a wide range of concrete projects, particularly those requiring long transportation times and high durability:
Commercial/Ready-Mixed Concrete
High-Speed Railways
Expressways
Nuclear Power Plants
Water Control Projects
5. Packaging & Storage
Packaging Options:
Plastic drums.
IBC Totes: 1000L.
Tank Trucks: For bulk transportation.
Storage Conditions:
Shelf Life: Should not exceed 6 months.
Precautions: Seal tightly, avoid direct sunlight, and protect from freezing.
Corrosion Warning: It has a slight corrosive effect on iron containers. Prolonged storage in iron containers will cause the contents to turn pale reddish-brown. It is non-toxic, has a mild acidic odor, and is non-flammable.
6. Important Precautions
Do not mix with naphthalene sulfonate water reducers, melamine-based water reducers, or aliphatic water reducers.
Synergistic Use: Typically, it needs to be used in combination with polycarboxylate slump-retaining agents to further reduce the loss of concrete slump over time. Due to its excellent initial workability retention performance, it can be directly mixed with Type II or Type III polycarboxylate slump-retaining agents when formulating finished products.
