Application
Sodium gluconate as retarder 
Sodium gluconate (SG) is usually employed as a supplementary material in polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) system to enhance
the dispersion and dispersion retention.


Sodium gluconate is a commonly used retarder, and the incorporation of SG has been accepted as the most efficient way to improve
the basic performance of polycarboxylate superplasticizer (PCE) system in real concrete.
Effect of sodium gluconate on dispersion of (PCE)polycarboxylate superplasticizer
Gluconate grafted as side chain of PCE and the increase in length of PEO chain caused by addition of SG can provide contribution to dispersion. Competitive adsorption between SG and PCE would take place to reduce the dispersion, and the declining degree depends on the relative adsorption between PCE and SG. Dispersion of PCE-SG is not only dependent on added dosage of SG, but also decided by molecular structure of PCE.
