Sodium Gluconate Concrete Retarder
Concrete retarder, also called cement retarder, can significantly delay the initial and final setting time of concrete. It is very suitable for concrete mixing. In general, the purpose of adding set retarding admixtures to commercial concrete is to prolong the hydration and hardening time of cement, so that fresh concrete can maintain plasticity for a long time, so as to adjust the setting time of fresh concrete. However, the concrete set retarder is often used in hot weather to counter the rapid setting caused by high temperatures. For large jobs and in hot weather, specify concrete with retarder chemical to allow more time for placing and finishing. But do you know which product can be used as concrete retarder admixture?
When adding a certain amount of Kignsun sodium gluconate retarder to concrete, and it can extend the working time of concrete from several hours to several days without affecting the strength of concrete. This is an important advantage, especially in hot weather and long-term storage. Therefore, Kingsun sodium gluconate can be widely used in extended setting time concrete, form concrete and mass cast concrete. In addition, the concrete retarder admixture can be compatible with naphthalene based superplasticizer, aminosulfuric acid-based water-reducing agent, and air-entraining agent.
