Sodium naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensate (CAS 36290-04-7) is an anionic polymeric dispersant. It is used as a high-range water-reducing admixture (superplasticizer) for concrete and as a dispersing agent for dyes and pigments.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a dispersing agent?
A dispersing agent is a surfactant or polymer that keeps solid particles suspended in a liquid by reducing their tendency to aggregate. Sodium naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensate (CAS 36290-04-7) is an anionic polymeric dispersant of this type, used to stabilize pigment, dye, and mineral slurries and to reduce water demand in cement systems. RawSource supplies it in bulk to construction-chemical and coatings manufacturers.
What is an example of a dispersing agent?
Sodium naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde condensate (SNF, CAS 36290-04-7) is a common industrial example. It is used as a high-range water-reducing admixture (superplasticizer) for concrete and as a dispersant for disperse and vat dyes, pigment slurries, and gypsum and ceramic slurries.
What are the main categories of dispersing agents?
Dispersants are broadly grouped by charge into anionic, cationic, and nonionic types, and by structure into low-molecular-weight surfactants versus polymeric dispersants. This product is an anionic polymeric dispersant — a formaldehyde condensate of naphthalene sulfonate — which is the workhorse class for cement, dye, and pigment dispersion.
What is naphthalene sulfonate condensate used for in concrete and dyeing?
In concrete it acts as a high-range water reducer (superplasticizer), lowering water demand while maintaining workability. In textiles and coatings it disperses disperse/vat dyes and stabilizes pigment slurries, and it also reduces water demand in gypsum and ceramic slurries. RawSource supplies it in powder and liquid forms depending on the grade.
What is the cost of bulk naphthalene sulfonate dispersing agent?
Pricing is quoted by order based on form (powder or liquid), sodium-sulfate content, volume, packaging, and freight. Send RawSource your target quantity, application, and destination for a landed quote and lead time. We quote rather than list because cost tracks feedstock and order scale.
