MasterGlenium ACE
Superplasticisers for Precast Concrete
How does MasterGlenium ACE Work?
MasterGlenium ACE does not cause a delay in the hydration process and improves early strength development. The unique molecular structure of MasterGlenium ACE covers less of the surface of the cement grains to react with the water.
What makes MasterGlenium ACE a unique solution?
The essential performance benefit of MasterGlenium ACE is fast strength development at early ages of hydration at low, ambient, and heat curing temperatures. Increased productivity has a direct impact on cost efficiency. The MasterGlenium ACE technology meets all the requirements of the precast industry while simultaneously saving time and money.
The MasterGlenium ACE range optimises the efficiency of the mix and reduces the production cycle, potentially doubling output. The amount of energy required in the production cycle is decreased. External energy supplies can be eliminated, removing the need for heat curing. As a result, MasterGlenium ACE saves money and increases the durability of concrete by limiting any micro cracks that may result from heat curing (thermal shock, temperature gradient, etc.).
The flow and water reduction action of MasterGlenium ACE enables the robust and direct formulation of self-compacting concretes. They can be placed without vibration when combined with a compatible manufacturing process. This reduces the stress factor of vibration and noise for workers and nearby residents.
