The invention discloses a preparation method of a
slump retaining agent capable of releasing controllable polycarboxylic acid and relates to the technical field of chemical additives for building materials. The preparation method includes the following steps that 1, 144-180 parts of unsaturated
polyoxyethylene ether monomer and 144-180 parts of deionized water are added, by
mass, to a three-mouth flask, stirring is performed till
dissolution is completed, heating is performed to reach 45-60 DEG C during stirring, and heat preservation is performed; 2, 1.0-2.0 parts of a
chain transfer agent and 0.5-1.5 parts of an initiator are dissolved, by
mass, in 30-60 parts of deionized water to prepare a solution A; 3, 2-20 parts of unsaturated acid and 20-30 parts of unsaturated ester are dissolved, by
mass, in 10-20 parts of deionized water to prepare a solution B; 4, after the step 1 is completed, the solution A and the solution B are simultaneously dropwise added to the three-mouth flask, the adding times are respectively 180-210 minutes and 150-180 minutes, reaction continues for 60-80 minutes, deionized water is added,
dilution is performed till the theoretical
solid content of 40% is reached, a finished product is obtained. The preparation method can meet the requirement for
slump keeping time according to construction, and several
slump retaining agents can be flexibly compounded to meet different construction requirements.
