Abstract
A new block copolymer, which is excellent with regard to abilities such as dispersibility, chelatability, and scale inhibitability, includes a polyalkylene glycol structural unit and a polyglyoxylate structural unit. This block copolymer, for example, can be produced by carrying out a polymerization reaction between a polyalkylene glycol and a glyoxylic acid-based monomer in the presence of a catalyst in a polymerization reaction system having a water content of about 30 mol % or less relative to the polyalkylene glycol, and used as a cement dispersant, pigment dispersant, water-treating agent, or detergent builder.
