As a result, gypsum cannot work as a retarder to solve the problems of fast setting when DCRCM is used in practice. Due to the retarding effect of gypsum on C 3 A hydration, other common retarders added to Portland cement, such as sodium gluconate [17], [18] and sodium citrate [19], mainly aim at crystallization ratios of both C 3 S [20] …

Gypsum retarders have been studied intensively, but the emphasis was always laid on commercial gypsum. Table 1 shows some works on the use of gypsum retarders. The related works used commercial gypsum plaster and the use of citric acid prevails (67%), and any work of this list used recycled gypsum plaster.

These admixtures, when added, would delay the setting time of the cement, i.e. the setting times lengthen. Retarders reduce the solubility of the hydrating components in cement and so are solubility reducers. Gypsum retards the dissolution of the aluminate phase (C3A). This retards the set of the cement.

Gypsum plaster sets quickly due to its natural process of crystallization. For commercial applications, the retardation of plaster to a desired level is required. ... The effect of various chemicals as retarders on the setting …

The aim of this paper is to investigate the possible displacement of natural gypsum (CaSO 4 ·2H 2 O) in cement with an alternative setting retarder, such as the industrial by-product derived from flue gas desulfurization process called FGD gypsum. These calcium-sulfate-bearing materials (CSBM), alone or in mixtures, were ground with …

The influence of three retarders on the setting time of red mud-based geopolymer cementitious materials is shown in Fig. 2. It can be seen from the figure that the three retarders have significant differences in prolonging the setting time of slurry. Among them, when the content of SG is 0.1 %, the extension effect of slurry setting time is poor.

The most common cement setting retarder used in industry is natural gypsum, which is primarily a dihydrated product of calcium sulfate (CaSO 4 · 2H 2 O). The need for gypsum in cement increases with increasing amount of C 3 A and alkalies in the clinker and the fineness of the cement [1], [2], [3]. Gypsum also promotes cement strength at an ...

Following are some commonly used retarders: Calcium sulphate and gypsum. Acids and salts also act as retarders; Commonly sugar is the most economical retarder used in concrete.sugar of 0.05 to 0.02% of total concrete is mixed. (ASTM C – 494- TYPE D & G ). Modern retarders are lignosulfonate acids, carboxylic acid, calcium acetate.

Gypsum retardation is an indispensable technology that provides a long period of plasticity for gypsum construction. Developing highly efficient gypsum retarders is of great significance for improving gypsum retardation technology. Many progressive achievements in the development of gypsum retarders have been witnessed already …

Gypsum retarder has become one of the indispensable additives in all gypsum based products. Picture 4.5-1 Initial setting time (min) and dosage (%) The commonly used gypsum retarders are mainly modified protein, citrate, tartrate and potassium hydrogen phosphate.

Class II – Low permeability vapor retarders – rated greater than 0.1 perms and less than or equal to 1.0 perms. The kraft facing on batts qualify as a Class II vapor retarder. Class III – Medium permeability vapor retarders – rated greater than 1.0 perms and less than or equal to 10 perms. Latex or enamel paint qualify as Class III ...

Retarders used for gypsum are mainly divided into three categories: organic acids, alkaline phosphates and proteins, and each retarder is aimed to …

However, the mechanical properties of desulfurized gypsum could be decreased by more than 60 %. Compared with single-doped retarders, combined retarders had obvious advantages. They not only significantly lengthened the setting time and hardening time two-fold or even more but also the compressive strength of desulfurized …

This particular class has a permeance rating between 1 perm and 10 perms; as such they are also considered semi-permeable. Some examples include latex paints over gypsum board and #30 building paper and plywood. The 2006 International Energy Conservation Code (IECC) states specific conditions where Class III vapor retarders happen to be …

Retarders also reduce the setting time of concrete and hence are ideal to be used for mass concreting or in a very hot climate to overcome the heat of hydration, which can result in cracks. Gypsum is added into cement to slow down the hydration process while the addition of water to it.

Various types of gypsum retarders through their distinctive chemical and structural features can complex calcium on the surface of gypsum to form novel calcium-based compounds, which was believed to significantly affect the basic properties of gypsum. These results proved that gypsum retarder mainly combined with dissolved …

Type 3 Vapor Retarders. Type 3 retarders are rated 1.0-10 perms. They're semi-permeable, allowing partial penetration of water. Materials with a rating above 10 perms can no longer be classified as vapor retarders because such materials are porous and cannot function as barriers. Semi-permeable materials include: Concrete block; …

The most commonly known concrete retarder is calcium sulphate – gypsum. Sugar is also one of the most common and effective retarding admixture which is used for delaying the setting time of concrete without detrimental effect on the ultimate strength of concrete itself. 1. Organic Retarders. Chemicals used to prepare organic retarders are …

One of the first set retarders that has been used in the manufacture of commercial retarded cement was a blend of borax, boric acid, gelatin, casein, and gum arabic (1973, JPS4860123 A, SAN ES SEKKO GYPSUM). Due to blending problems, this set retarder was exceedingly difficult to handle at bulk cement plants.

Effect of Retarders on concrete: 1. Strength: Initial compressive strength of concrete is less than uniform concrete's compressive strength. 2. Practicality and rational value: Retarders have a small effect on the practicality of concrete, they cause initial deceleration to increase by 60–100 mm. 3. Slump Loss:

Gypsum plays a crucial role in cement. Though it is used in a small quantity, in the range of 2.5-3.0 percent in terms of SO3, gypsum's role in cement is significant, more predominantly at early ages.
