Concrete air-entraining agents (concrete air-entraining agents) can improve the performance of concrete. Modified rosinate air-entraining agents are the mainstream in the market.

Concrete air-entraining agent, also known as concrete air-entraining agent, is a hydrophobic surfactant that can improve the fluidity of concrete. Concrete air-entraining agents have the advantages of good frost resistance, high water reduction rate, and good durability, and have broad application prospects in the field of construction engineering.

There are many types of concrete air-entraining agents. According to different base materials, they can be divided into fatty alcohol sulfonates, rosin resins, alkyl benzene sulfonates, saponins, petroleum salts, silicone compounds, proteins Salts etc. Rosin resins include modified rosinate air-entraining agents and sodium rosinate air-entraining agents. Modified rosinate air-entraining agents have the advantages of good air-entraining properties and good solubility, and can effectively improve the quick-freezing durability of concrete. As well as air content, it is the mainstream product in my country’s concrete air-entraining agent market.

According to the “2023-2028 China Concrete Air Entraining Agent (Concrete Air Entraining Agent) Industry Market In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report released by the Industrial Research Center 》 shows that concrete air-entraining agents are mainly used to process concrete to enhance and improve its flexural strength, corrosion resistance, frost resistance, durability, fluidity and other aspects. In recent years, affected by factors such as the economic downturn, the prosperity of my country’s real estate industry has continued to decline, resulting in a decrease in concrete production. According to data from the China Concrete and Cement Products Association, my country’s cumulative production of commercial concrete will drop by 11.8% year-on-year in 2022. In the future, as the economy gradually recovers, my country’s concrete market demand will further grow, which will provide favorable conditions for the development of the concrete air-entraining agent industry.

The global concrete air-entraining agent market is concentrated in European and American countries. Major players include Ashland of the United States, GCP Applied Technologies of the United States, Clariant of Switzerland, Chryso of the United States, Euclid Chemical Company of the United States, and Evonik of Germany. Industrial Group (Evonik) and others. Clariant is the world’s leading company in concrete air-entraining agents. It has large-scale production capabilities for a variety of high-performance products such as tea saponin concrete polycarboxylic acid air-entraining agents and rosin-based polycarboxylic acid air-entraining agents. It also occupies a dominant position in my country’s market.

In the local market, the main players in my country’s concrete air-entraining agent market include Hongqiang Co., Ltd., Cologne Co., Ltd., Riko Chemical, Hanjian Heshan, Subote, Jiangtian Chemical, etc. Subote focuses on the R&D, production and sales of concrete admixtures. It has large-scale production capabilities of air-entraining agents, antifreezes, preservatives and other functional chemical admixtures, and is a representative enterprise of concrete air-entraining agents in my country.

Industry analysts said that concrete air-entraining agents have excellent performance and are widely used in the concrete processing process. In the future, the development of downstream industries will accelerate. , its market demand is expected to grow further. In terms of market competition, the global concrete air-entraining agent market has long been dominated by leading overseas companies, and my country is relatively lagging behind in terms of technical level and product quality. In the future, with the improvement of independent research and development capabilities of local enterprises, the development speed of my country’s concrete air-entraining agent industry will accelerate.
