Abstract: The present invention provides an admixture for concrete with an excellent flow retainability over a long time of 120 minutes until the placement of the concrete without loss of strength, and in which a workable time and constructability are obtainable because a suitable setting time is obtained, and in which bleeding is suppressible. The admixture for concrete comprises a lignin derivative (A), a copolymer having a hydrolysable group (B) and a (meth)acrylic-based viscosity adjusting component (C), wherein the copolymer having the hydrolysable group (B) is a copolymer of at least two monomers consisting of an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having hydrolysability (b1) and an ethylenically unsaturated monomer having a polyalkyleneoxide ether chain (b2).
