Innovative Amino Acid Technology: Yuanlian Chemical Gypsum Retarder Redefines Construction Efficiency Standards

Revolutionizing Gypsum Applications with Smart Setting Time Control

 

As the construction industry embraces green transformation, gypsum-based materials are gaining widespread adoption due to their eco-friendly, energy-efficient, and recyclable properties. However, the rapid setting characteristic of gypsum has long constrained its workability and application scenarios. Gypsum retarders—key additives that address this challenge through scientific regulation of hydration processes—are unlocking broader possibilities for gypsum materials.

Gypsum Retarder: The Master of Time Control

Gypsum retarders are chemical additives that delay the hydration reaction of gypsum by adsorbing onto the surface of hemihydrate crystals, reducing their dissolution and recrystallization rates, thereby extending the workable time of gypsum slurry. Based on chemical structure, gypsum retarders can be classified into three categories:

1. Protein-Based Retarders
Primarily composed of hydrolyzed animal proteins, these offer stable retarding effects but significantly impact gypsum strength.

2. Organic Acid Retarders
Include citric acid, tartaric acid, and their salts, which provide strong retarding effects but exhibit high sensitivity.

3. Amino Acid-Based Retarders
The latest innovation in retarding technology, utilizing amino acids and their derivatives as core components, achieving optimal balance between retarding effect and strength preservation.

Broad Applications, Significant Value

Gypsum Building Materials Production
In manufacturing prefabricated components such as gypsum boards and blocks, retarders ensure sufficient molding time, increasing production line efficiency by over 30%.

Gypsum Plaster Applications
For machine-sprayed and hand-applied plaster construction, retarders allow flexible adjustment of setting time based on site requirements, reducing material waste and improving construction quality.

Decorative Gypsum Products
In products requiring extended working time, such as gypsum moldings and decorative elements, retarders provide adequate shaping and processing time.

Specialty Gypsum Materials
Products like self-leveling gypsum and pouring gypsum that require extended flow time rely on retarders to achieve performance requirements.
