An innovative second-generation range of polycarboxylic ether polymer superplasticizers. The particular configuration of Glenium ACE 333 has a longer working time than Glenium ACE 30 whilst still accelerating the cement hydration for early stripping. Rapid adsorption of the molecule onto the cement particles, combined with an efficient dispersion effect, exposes increased surface of the cement grains to react with water.
As a result of this effect, it is possible to obtain earlier development of heat of hydration, rapid development of the hydration products and, as a consequence, higher strengths at a very early age.
ZERO ENERGY SYSTEM
Zero Energy System is based on a combination of the advanced technology admixture Glenium ACE 333 and the innovative technology of Rheodynamic concrete. The Zero Energy System has been developed to help the precast concrete producer to rationalise his production process and save on energy costs combined with improved quality of the product and the working conditions.
Features and Benefits
Glenium ACE 333 offers the following benefits for the precast concrete industry to:
-
Produce Rheoplastic and Rheodynamic concrete having a low water cement ratio
-
Optimise the curing cycles by reducing curing time or curing temperature
-
Eliminate / reduce the heat curing required to achieve a given maturity
-
Eliminate the energy required for placing and compaction and curing (Zero Energy)
-
Speeds productivity / reduction in cycle times
-
Improve surface appearance
-
Produce durable precast concrete elements as per EN 206-1
-
As compared to traditional superplasticizers, the engineering properties such as early and ultimate compressive and flexural strengths, bond to steel, modules of elasticity, shrinkage, creep and impermeability are improved
