Surfactants (NSF)
Contributing to improved public infrastructure
One of our group companies, K&D Fine Chemicals (Co., Ltd.), manufactures water reducing agents for concrete, dispersants for emulsion polymerization of synthetic rubbers, as well as dye dispersants and other surfactants (NSF: naphthalene sulfonic acid formalin condensate). The water reducing agents for concrete are used for enhancing the strength of electric power poles and Hume pipes (drain pipes), thereby contributing to improving public infrastructure.
Main applications
-
Water reducing agents for concrete
Adding a mere 1% of a water reducing agent to concrete improves the fluidity of concrete and makes it easier to handle.
Also, since fluidity can be enhanced without adding water, this product can enhance the strength of concrete by reducing the amount of water in the concrete. -
Dye dispersants
These dispersants can prevent any differences in the shade of color, to ensure color uniformity.
The products are mixed with dyes for garment dyeing processes and with inks for printers. -
Dispersants for emulsion polymerization
of synthetic rubbersThese dispersants are used in manufacturing processes for the synthetic rubbers typically used for automobile tires.
These are functional chemical products used for enhancing the uniformity of “emulsion polymerization” reactions.
