Abstract: To provide a polymer having a specific parameter value with a very narrow molecular weight distribution different from the conventional copolymers despite of a polymer having a polyoxyalkylene chain, and an excellent dispersant for inorganic powders, particularly a cement addmixture. The polymer (P) in the present invention is containing a constitutional unit derived from a polyoxyalkylene chain, and satisfying a range of PD value defined as the following mathematical formula 1: 1<PD<MD??(Formula 1) wherein PD=Mw/Mn, MD=G(n)×Mw+H(n).

Abstract: The admixtures for a cementitious composition of the invention, which have the above-mentioned constitutions, can suitably be used in cement pastes, mortar, concrete and like cement compositions and can stabilize the amount of air entrained with the lapse of time and thus facilitate the quality control of cement compositions and, further, can improve the workability of cement compositions owing to their excellent dispersing capacities. The cement compositions of the invention which comprise such admixture for a cementitious composition are excellent in water-reducing ability and workability and can give hardened products excellent in strength and durability and, further, can stably maintain the amount of air entrained without allowing increases in the amount of air even when the time of kneading is prolonged in the production.

Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to provide a polycarboxylic acid polpolymer which improves the water reducing capacity and workability of cement compositions and the like and making them easier to handle when the fluidity and water reducing capacity are at the same levels, a method of producing the copolymer, and a cement additive and a cement composition comprising the copolymer.
