The invention relates to a retarding superplasticizer composition for roller compacted concrete, which is prepared from 40-80 percent of barium-containing naphthalene based superplasticizer, 10-30 percent of modified lignosulfonate, 3-7 percent of plastic retaining agent, 5-15 percent of composite retarder, 1-7 percent of layer silicate mineral material, 0.1-0.5 percent of polysiloxane and 0.1-0.2 percent of air entraining agent. The retarding superplasticizer composition does not contain alkali harmful to alkali-aggregate reaction, has a better inhibition effect to the alkali-aggregate reaction, and has the advantages of high water reducing rate, strong VC value retaining capacity, good water retaining property, small bleeding rate, remarkable retarding effect and the like, so that the prepared roller compacted concrete mixture has the characteristics of good workability, small VC value loss, small bleeding rate, long setting time, greatly reduced early hydration heat and delayed occurrence time of a hydration heat peak, so as to have better construction property, mechanical property and durability.
