1. The molecular mechanism of LABSA 96% cement is to subvert the logic of traditional water reducing agents, induce the reconstruction of the crystalline phase of calcium sulfonate in a directional manner, regulate the hydrated crystal morphology, and reduce the cost of crack repair by 45%
1. Acid-induced directional hydration of aluminum phase
LABSA 96% is gradually neutralized in the high alkaline environment of cement slurry (pH>13) to generate calcium alkylbenzene sulfonate:
→ Preferentially adsorbed on the surface of C₃A (tricalcium aluminate), inhibiting its rapid hydration and exothermicity
→ Compete with gypsum to generate nanotubular calcium sulfonate (diameter 20nm, aspect ratio>100)
2. Hydrogen bond network regulates rheology
Sulfonic acid group (-SO₃H) + H₂O → [H₃O⁺···-SO₃⁻] dynamic bond
→ Form a shear-sensitive proton conductor network between cement particles
→ Static viscosity increased by 300% (anti-segregation), viscosity dropped 85% when shear rate>100s⁻¹
II. Innovative formula and performance
Core additive: acid-controlled crystal phase regulator
Components Addition amount Functional design
LABSA 96% 0.03% Induce the growth of calcium sulfonate nanotubes
Tetramethylammonium bromide (TMAB) 0.005% Synergistically regulate the dissolution kinetics of C₃A
