MasterGlenium 3889KE1 - Polycarboxylic ether based superplasticizer for the production of high quality ready-mix concrete with excellent workability retention properties.
How does MasterGlenium 3889KE1 Polycarboxylic ether based superplasticizer work?
MasterGlenium 3889KE1 is an innovative latest generation superplasticizer based on polycarboxylic ether (PCE) polymers, and is specially engineered for ready-mix concrete were the consistency of aggregates may be variable.
MasterGlenium 3889KE1 is differentiated from conventional superplasticisers, such as those based on sulphonated naphthalene formaldehyde condensate in that it is based on a unique carboxylic ether polymer with long lateral chains.
This greatly improves cement dispersion. At the start of the mixing process the same electrostatic dispersion occurs but the presence of the lateral chains, linked to the polymer backbone, generate a steric hindrance which stabilises the cement particles capacity to
separate and disperse. This mechanism provides flowable concrete with greatly reduced water demand.
