A superior cement dispersant and a concrete composition containing the
cement dispersant, the cement dispersant being a water-soluble amphoteric
copolymer which contains an alkylene oxide adduct of a polyamide
polyamine having an unsaturated group and at least two types of
polyalkylene glycol ester. When the cement dispersant is compounded with
a concrete composition, the dispersion performance thereof increases with
time, and the concrete viscosity is effectively decreased. The cement
dispersant composition contains a water-soluble amphoteric copolymer or
the neutralized salt thereof as an essential component, which is obtained
by copolymerizing an alkylene oxide adduct of a polyamide polyamine
having an unsaturated group, (meta)acrylic acid or an alkali metal,
ammonium, or alkanolamine salt thereof, an ester of an alkylene glycol
and methacrylic acid, and an ester of an alkylene glycol and acrylic
acid. In addition, the concrete composition containing the above cement
dispersant is also disclosed.
