The invention discloses a powdery polycarboxylic
acid water reducing agent and a preparation method therefor. The water
reducing agent contains the following ingredients: 100 parts of
macromonomer A, 10-20 parts of
monomer B, 0.6-2 parts of initiator and 0.6-2 parts of
chain transfer agent, wherein the
macromonomer A is R1-O-[CH2-CH2O]m-[CH2-CH(CH3)O]n-R2; and the
monomer B is liquid-state unsaturated
carboxylic acid. The method comprises the steps: mixing the
macromonomer A with 5% to 20% of the
monomer B, heating the mixture to 50 DEG C to 70 DEG C, and adding 60% to 80% of the initiator into the mixture; dropwise adding a
mixed solution of the
chain transfer agent and the rest of the monomer B, wherein the time for dropwise adding is 2 to 4 hours, 60% to 85% of the
mixed solution is dropwise added uniformly in first 1 / 2 to 2 / 3 of the time, and the rest of the
mixed solution is dropwise added uniformly in remaining time; and carrying out a heat-preservation reaction for 1 to 2 hours, and then, carrying out cooling and crushing. The powdery polycarboxylic
acid water reducing agent disclosed by the invention is good in
dispersity, high in water reducing rate, small in blended amount and good in
slump loss resistant performance.
