Wet-mixed mortar retarding time

[Roy]

Wet-mixed mortar is good for anything; that is, the retarding effect is only 25 or 26 hours, and what retarder can be added to extend a more prolonged time over 30 hours?

 

[Allen]

It can be achieved when the average temperature reaches 72, but some strength will be lost for a long time.

 

[Cassie]

It is possible to extend the retarding time of wet-mixed mortar, but the disadvantage is that during the construction process, the mortar will solidify slowly after being applied to the wall, and it will fall off in pieces.

 

[Rony]

Using sodium gluconate to adjust the setting time will cause the problem of slow strength. It takes 3 days for the inner wall and 10 days for the outer wall. The surface strength will be lost if the maintenance is not good.

Can use sodium gluconate alone reach the same result?

Can use sodium gluconate alone reach the same result?

Sure, combined with cellulose ether and air entrainment will have better effect.
