Description

'ZERO SLURP - LOSS SOPBRPLASTICIZER' 211~3~1 1. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a new superplasticizing additive for concrete and other cementitious materials capable to considerably increase the initial workability of the mixes and to maintain this workability for longer periods than those corresponding to the traditional superplasticizers and to allow an easy placing of the concrete. More particularly, the present invention relates to a superplasticizer with the above mentioned properties and further characterized by a low air-entraining effect and no adverse effect on the mechanical properties of the concrete, even at the early age of curing.
2. DESCRIPTION OF THE STATE-OF-ART
Superplasticizers are extensively used in the construction industry because their addition considerably increases the fluidity of fresh concrete without adding more water to the mix. Furthermore, they allow a considerable reduction of the mixing water and an easy placing of high quality concretes which, once hardened, are characterized by high strength.
Traditional superplasticizers based on the condensation between formaldehyde and naphthalene sulfonic acid salts Z
(NSFC) or melamine sulphite modified resins (MSFC) cannot maintain the workability of fresh mixes for long periods. So, even after few minutes, a sharp decrease of the fluidity can occur, known as "slump-loss" effect of the fresh concrete.
When "slump-loss" occurs, the initial workability is normally restored at the site of placing by adding more water to the mix, with a consequent adverse effect on the mechanigal properties and the durability of the hardened concrete.
Recently, "zero slump-loss" superplasticizers have been I
developed capable to maintain the same fluidity for longer periods and allow the transport of fresh concrete for long distances without further retempering the concrete at the placing-site. These new additives are based on crosslinked hydrophilic acrylic polymers which hydrolize in the strong alkaline medium of cementitious mixes to produce linear polymer chains which reduce the "slump loss" effect.
Examples of such additives are described in Japanese Patent Application No. 02 281014, based on copolymers of (meth)acrylic acid, ethoxy esters of (meth)acrylic acid and a crosslinking monomer having the following general formula:
X X
CH2 = C - C - Y - C - C = CH2 (I) where:
X represents hydrogen or methyl radical;
Y represents -O-(R1-)n-O- radical (R1 is an alkylene radical and n is integer from 2 to 30). In this case the crosslinking agents of formula (I) can be obtained by reacting (meth)acrylic acid and ethylene glycol (R1= CH2, n=2) or superior glycols (1,4-butanediol, 1,6-exanediol, 1,8 octanediol, etc. for n>2). Alternatively, Y may be a -O-(R2a-0-R2b-) n-O radical (with R2a and R2b C2-C5 alkylene radicals and n integer from 2 to 30).
In this case, the crosslinking agents of formula (I) can be obtained by reacting (meth)acrylic acid and polyglycol ethers having alkylene radicals with at least 4 carbon atoms, according to the formula -(-0-R2b-R2a-0-R2b-R2a-0-) Examples of such compounds are those obtained by reacting (meth)acrylic acid and poly-tetramethyleneglycols (PTMEG) having general formula HO-(CH2CH2CH2CH20)n-H. Other crosslinking agents reported in Japanese Patent Application n. 281014 are ethylene-glycol-di(meth)acrylate (EG-DA), diethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate (2EG-DA) Triethylene glycol di (meth)acrylate (3EG-DA), 4-ethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate (5EG-DA), 9-ethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate (9EG-DA), 14-ethylene glycol di(meth)acrylate and their combination.
European Patent Application n. 448717A1 describes other crosslinking agents for the production of superplasticizers having low "slump-loss" effect. Such crosslinking agents are represented by the following formulas containing epoxy groups:
n n ~~-cx2-o-c- (cx2 ) ~-cH2-cx~cx- (a~ ) 6-c-o-~2-c\ ~ 2 0 Qi-CEi2 0 -CH-~CH2-0-C- (Qi2 ) 6-~i~- (Qi2 ) ~..~-~2-CH-f~i2 ' \0/ \0 \ 2 ~ i'C~i2-O"C- O -O-CH2"~~2 10.

or by unsaturated monomers obtained by such epoxy compounds.
A noteworthy drawback of this type of superplasticizers is the air-entraining effect they produce in the cement mixes, as already pointed out by V.S. Ramachandran (9th 25 International Congress on the Chemistry of Cement, Vol.l, pp.
529-568, 1992, New Delhi). This effect, besides causing a 211b381 strength decrease, also affects the appearance of the concrete.
Just to reduce the air-entraining effect caused by these superplasticizers, European Patent Application n. 448717A1 recommends the use of highly hydrophilic monomers such as:

CH2 = C - COO - (R50-)m - R6 - S03M (II) where:
R3 is H or -CH3;
R5 and R6 independently represent alkylene radicals containing from 2 to 4 carbon atoms.
Examples of such type of monomers (II) are, for example, 2-sulfoethyl(meth)acrylate, 2-sulfopropyl (meth)-acrylate, sulfoethoxypolyethylenglycol(meth)acrylate, sulfoethoxypolypropylenglycolmono(meth)acrylate, etc. and their salts.
In order to reduce the air-entraining effect of this type of polymers, in European Patent Application n. 0331308, is recommended the use of considerable amount (from 5 to 15 per cent by weight of the monomers) of the following monomer:

CH2 = C - CH2 - S03M (III) where:
R2 is H or CH3 3. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PRESENT INVENTION
The present invention relates to new crosslinked water soluble or water-dispersible acrylic polymers, which can find application as "zero slump-loss" superplasticizers, ha-wing different structures than those reported in the afore-mentioned patent applications.
Furthermore, the new additives of the present invention are characterized by a very low air-entraining effect, even in the absence of monomers of formulas (II) and (III), till now considered essential to produce superplasticizers with a low air-entraining effect.
The new crosslinked superplasticizers object of the pre-sent invention are obtained by terpolymerization of the fol-lowing monomers (IV), (V), (VI):
X
CH2 = C - C - O - Z (IV) O
where Z= H, Na, R, Li, 1/2 Ca and X is H or CH3, examples of such monomers are acrylic acid, methacrylic acid and their salts;
X
CH2 = C - C - O - W (V) O
where W= -(-CH2-CH2-0-)n-CH3, n is integer from 2 to 50 and X is H or CH3; these monomers comprise polyethyleneglycols-2I.~~~B~
monomethylether-(meth)acrylate .with molecular weight from 200 to 2000; and X X
CH2 = C - C - O - Y - C - C = CH2 ( VI ) O O

I
where Y - -(CH-CH2-0)m- and m is an integer from 2 to 50.
These monomers are preferably represented by polypropylene-glycol-di-(meth)acrylate with molecular weight of approxima-tely between 280 and 3100, i.e. with m approximately between 2 and 50.
The main difference among the polymer of the present in-vention and those described in the aforementioned patent ap-plications is the crosslinking agent. In fact, it has been surprisingly found that, in order to obtain "zero slump-loss" superplasticizers with low air-entraining effect, mo-nomers having formula (VI) are necessary, in which Y repre-sents propyloxy group CH3 -(CH-CH2-O)m and m is an integer from 5 to 50. The monomers of the pre-sent invention are substantially different from those de-scribed in the previous patent applications, in which the special sulfonated monomer units reported in formulas II and III are essential to reduce the air entraining effect.
The acrylic crosslinked polymers of the present invention may be obtained by terpolymerizing, in different ratios, the monomers of the formulas (IV), (V), (VI). Even though many combinations are possible, it has been observed that the best results, in terms of loss of workability ("slump-loss") and air- entraining effect, are obtained when the amount of acrylic monomers (IV) and (V) is from 90 to 99.9 per cent of the polymerizable mass and the amount of monomer (VI) is from 0.1 to 10 per cent of the polymerizable mass.
The polymers of the present invention can be conveniently synthetized by many of the polymerisation methods known in the art. In the following examples, some preparations of polymers of the present invention are described.
Example 1 648 g of water are charged in a glass bottom-rounded reactor equipped with mechanical stirrer, thermometer and reflux condenser. The system is purged with nitrogen and heated at 90 °C. After the addition of 6.3 g of potassium persulfate K2S2O8, a mixture of 28 g of methacrylic acid, 247 g of polyethyleneglycolmonomethylether methacrylate of molecular weight 818 and 7 g of polypropyleneglycoldimethacrylate of molecular weight 861 is added in one hour. The system is further kept at 90 °C for one hour and then neutralized with 60 g of a 30 per cent solution of NaOH. About 990 g of an amber-coloured polymer solution are obtained, having a total solids content of 30 per cent and a viscosity of about 300 cps at 20 °C.

The system is further kept at 90 °C for one hour and then neutralized with 60 g of a 30 per cent solution of NaOH. About 990 g of an amber-coloured polymer solution are obtained, having a total solids content of 30 per cent and a viscosity of about 250 cps at 20 °C.
Example 3 648 g of water are charged in a glass bottom-rounded reactor equipped with mechanical stirrer, thermometer and reflux condenser. The system is purged with nitrogen and heated at 90 °C. After the addition of 6.3 g of potassium persulfate K2S20g, a mixture of 25 g of methacrylic acid, 229 g of polyethyleneglycolmonomethylether methacrylate of molecular weight 818 and 28 g of polypropyleneglycoldimethacrylate of molecular weight 861 is added in one hour. The system is further kept at 90 °C for one hour and then neutralized with 60 g of a 30 per cent solution of NaOH. About 990 g of an amber-coloured polymer solution are obtained, having a total solids content of 30 per cent and a viscosity of about 400 cps at 20 °C.
Example 4 This example describes a polymer synthetized using a crosslinking agent (14-ethyleneglycoldimethacrylate) selected among those indicated in the Japanese Patent Application n.
281014. The polymer so obtained has been used in concrete tests in comparison with the polymers of the present invention.
648 g of water are charged in a glass bottom-rounded reactor equipped with mechanical stirrer, thermometer and reflux condenser. The system is purged with nitrogen and heated at 90 °C. After the addition of 6.3 g of potassium persulfate K2S2Og, a mixture of 28 g of methacrylic acid, 247 g of polyethyleneglycolmonomethylether methacrylate of molecular weight 818 and 7 g of polyethyleneglycoldimethacrylate of average molecular weight 770 (14EG-DMA) is added in one hour. The system is further kept at 90 °C for one hour and then neutralized with 60 g of 2fl a 30 per cent solution of NaOH. About 990 g of an amber-coloured polymer solution are obtained, having a total solids content of 30 per cent and a viscosity of about 350 cps at 20°C.
Example 5 This example reports the results of concrete tests made using the polymers of the present invention (Examples 1, 2 and 3) as superplasticizer in comparison both to a traditional superplasticizer based on naphthalene sulfonated formaldehyde condensate (NSFC) and a polymer synthetized using 14- ethyleneglycoldimethacrylate as crosslinking agent (14 EG-DMA) selected among those described in the Japanese Patent Application n. 281014 (Example 4). All the concretes were prepared with the same water/cement and aggregate/cement ratios, using Type I Portland cement (400 kg/mc) and coarse aggregate with maximum diameter of 20 mm. The comparative results of the concrete tests are reported in the following table.
Table 1. Comparative concrete tests using the additive of the present invention (Example 1, Example 2, Example 3) and a traditional superplasticizer based on naphthalene sulfonated formaldehyde condensate (NSFC) and a polymer obtained by using the crosslinking agents described in the Japanese Patent Application n. 281014 (Example 4).

In fact, the initial value of the fluidity of the concrete mixes (measured by "slump" test) containing the polymers of the present invention, even though at a dosage 50% less than NSFC, is higher or, at least comparable, with the mix containing NSFC.
Furthermore, the crosslinked acrylic polymer of the present invention (Examples 1, 2, 3) shows an excellent retention of the workability (very low "slump-loss"). So, results of Table 1 indicate that, even 45 minutes after the mixing, the concrete mixes additivated with the polymers of the present invention retain 80 per cent of the initial i3 2116381 "slump" value, while the "slump" of the concrete mix containing NSFC drops at 50 per cent of its initial value.
Also the air-entraining effect of the polymers of the present invention (Examples 1, 2, 3) is surprisingly low in comparison to the polymer of Example 4, which has been synthetized using polyethyleneglycoldimethacrylate (14EG-DMA) as crosslinking agent, as reported in Japanese Patent Application n. 281014.
Therefore, the crosslinking agent of the present invention, based on polypropyleneglycoldi(meth)acrylate, allows preparing cementitious mixes with a low air content without requiring the monomers described in the European Patent Applications n. 448717A and n. 0331308, which up to now were belived necessary in order to produce polymer superplasticizers characterized by a low air- entraining effect.
Example 6 In this example the polymer of the present invention has been evaluated as superplasticizer for High Alumina cement 2p based mortars. It is common knowledge that traditional superplasticizers like NSFC (Naphthalene Sulfonated Formaldehyde Condensate and MSFC (Melamine Sulfite Formaldehyde Condensate) do not exert significant fluidifying effect on High Alumina cement. The results of this example (see Table 2) surprisingly show that the polymer of the present invention, even at an exceptionally low dosage, exerts an excellent superplasticizing effect and retain the workability of the mixes based on High Alumina cement and do not cause any decrease in the strength developments.
