Sodium naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde SNF-A, industrial grade. Light brown powder, minimum 91% active content. Highly efficient superplasticizer used to reduce the amount of water in concrete mixtures and gypsum board production. Improves workability, lowers the water-cement ratio, and contributes to higher strength, durability, and shorter drying times in construction applications. Applications: ready-mix concrete, precast elements, gypsum boards, mortars, and high-performance cement. Properties: pH 7.0–9.0 (5% solution), CAS 36290-04-7. Also known as sodium naphthalene sulfonate formaldehyde. Available in Monterrey, with shipping throughout Mexico.

Sodium gluconate, technical grade. Fine crystalline white powder, ≥ 98% purity. Highly soluble in water, non-corrosive, and non-toxic, with excellent resistance to oxidation and reduction even at high temperatures. Functions as a set retarder, plasticizer, and water reducer in cementitious systems. Applications: concrete, mortars, plasters, and other construction formulations. Properties: assay ≥ 98.0%, whiteness 55.5–85.0%, reducing substances ≤ 0.50%, chlorides ≤ 0.05%, sulfates ≤ 0.05%, heavy metals (Pb) ≤ 5.0 mg/kg, arsenic ≤ 1.0 mg/kg, pH (5% solution) 6.0–8.0, CAS 527-07-1. Also known as: sodium gluconate. Available in Monterrey, with shipping throughout Mexico.

Dark amber liquid with high efficiency for mineral dispersion and suspension, especially calcium and magnesium. Functional in aqueous media and versatile across a wide pH range. Applications: anionic mineral dispersant, fertilizer additive, suspension aid, and soil nutrient, particularly useful in fertigation systems. Properties: pH 2.0–3.0 (1% solution at 25 °C), density 0.98–1.05 g/cm³. Non-toxic if ingested, easy to handle and store. Available in Monterrey, with shipping throughout Mexico.
