MasterGlenium ACE 35

High Range Water Reducing & Superplasticising Admixture

How Does MasterGlenium ACE 35 Work?

MasterGlenium ACE 35 is an innovative second generation of polycarboxylic ether polymers superplasticiser. It meets AS 1478 for Type HWR admixtures and complies with EN934 Part 2 Table 3 ‘High Range Water Reducing/Superplasticising’.

Recommended Uses:

• Suitable for making precast concrete elements at all workabilities including Rheoplastic concrete having fluid consistency, no segregation, and low water-cement ratio, consequently achieving high early and long-term strengths.

• May be used in combination with MasterGlenium Stream admixtures for producing Rheodynamic concrete, capable of self-compaction, even in the presence of dense reinforcement, without the aid of vibration, for making precast elements.

• Performs best when the concrete temperature is at 15ºC or above.

What Makes MasterGlenium ACE 35 a Unique Solution?

The particular molecular configuration of MasterGlenium ACE 35 accelerates cement hydration. Rapid absorption of the molecule onto the cement particles, combined with an efficient dispersion effect, exposes an 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, consequently, higher strengths at a very early age.

What Are the Benefits of MasterGlenium ACE 35?

• Produce Rheoplastic and Rheodynamic concrete with a low water-cement ratio

• Optimise the curing cycles by reducing curing time or curing temperature

• Eliminate the need for heat curing

• Eliminate the energy required for placing, compaction, and curing (Zero Energy)

• Increase productivity and reduce cycle times

• Improve surface appearance

• Produce durable precast concrete elements as per EN206-1

• Compared to traditional superplasticisers, it improves engineering properties such as early and ultimate compressive and flexural strengths, bond to steel, modulus of elasticity, shrinkage, creep, and impermeability
