hydration process of cement produces heat due to exothermic reactions. If the hydration is retarded heat is either produced at a later stage (delay of setting) and/or at a slower rate (delay of hardening). This is illustrated in Figure 1.

Effect of sugar dosage on setting time microstructure and
Dec 01 2020 · Young 3 suggested that set-retardation might be mainly due to delay in the hydration of tricalcium silicate by the adsorption of organic admixtures onto the calcium hydroxide nuclei. Most of the retarders are organic compounds that coagulate the cement particles thereby decreasing the rate of cement hydration.

Sugar is act as an accelerator or retarder in concrete
Sugar is retarding agent. Retarders are type of admixture that extend the hydration induction period thereby increasing the setting times. Sugar is a carbohydrate a substance composed of carbon oxygen and hydrogen. It can be useful when concrete used in hot weather.

Jun 25 2015 · The retardation mechanism of inorganic compounds on cement hydration is different from that for the previously discussed retarders. Inorganic compounds commonly used as cement retarders are borax (Na 2 B 4 O 7 •10H 2 ) and other borates such as boric acid (H 3 BO 3 ) and its sodium salt and zinc oxide (ZnO).
