RheoMATRIX 233

Part of the innovative latest generation range of polycarboxylic ether polymer superplasticizers. It also contains a high-molecular weight synthetic copolymer particularly designed for the precast industry.

The particular molecular configuration of RheoMATRIX 233 accelerates the cement hydration by allowing rapid adsorption of the molecule onto the cement particles, this, combined with an efficient dispersion effect, exposes increased surface of the cement grains to react with water exposing increased surface of the cement grains to react with water. As a result, it is possible to obtain earlier development of the heat of hydration, rapid development of the hydration products and, as a consequence, higher strengths at very early age.

Features and Benefits
RheoMATRIX 233 offers the following benefits for the concrete industry:

• Production of highly flowable, robust selfcompacting concrete having a low water cement ratio along with an optimal rheology.
• Enhanced robustness and consistency in concrete quality with low stickiness.
• Environmentally friendly, CO2 reduced mix-design optimization.
• Potential elimination or reduction of heat curing.
• Improved surface appearance.
• Durable precast concrete elements as per EN 206-1.
• Elimination or reduction of the energy required for placing, compaction and curing (ZERO ENERGY).
• Optimization of the curing cycles by reducing curing time or curing temperature. Increased productivity. particularly in combination with X-Seed 100 Crystal Speed Hardening.
• SCC (Self-compacting concrete) with a low Fines content (material passing the 0.125 mm sieve).
