Industrial Grade Sodium Gluconate-The Best Choice of Concrete Additives

Post Date:17,Oct,2022

Sodium gluconate is generally used alone, but can also be used in combination with other retarders such as carbohydrate phosphates. Sodium gluconate is a crystalline powder. are produced under properly defined and controlled conditions. This compound is chemically pure and non-corrosive. Quality is constant. This feature guarantees reliable and repeatable results in its application. The water-to-cement ratio (W/C) can be reduced by adding a water-reducing agent to sodium gluconate as a water-reducing agent.

The water and content remain the same while the water content decreases, and the W/C ratio remains the same. At this time, sodium gluconate acts as a cement reducer. In general, two aspects are important to concrete performance: shrinkage and heat production. Sodium Gluconate as Retarder Sodium gluconate can significantly retard the initial and final setting time of concrete. When the dosage is below 0.15%, the logarithm of the initial solidification time is proportional to the compounding amount, that is, the compounding amount is doubled. The time to onset of solidification is delayed by a factor of 10, which enables work to be extended from a few hours to several days without compromising strength. This is an important advantage, especially on hot days and longer periods of time.
