MasterGlenium ACE 456 - Essential component of ZERO ENERGY SYSTEM – A new generation of high-performance polycarboxylate ether (PCE) superplasticizers for the Precast industry
How does MasterGlenium ACE 456 high-performance superplasticizerworks?
MasterGlenium ACE (Admixture Controlled Energy) 456 consists of a range of innovative superplasticizers based on newly developed polycarboxylate ether polymers. The particular molecular configuration of MasterGlenium ACE456 accelerates the cement hydration by 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. The polymer structure of MasterGlenium ACE 456 is specially designed to improve the rheology of precast concrete, making it very flowable and low viscous even at very low water/cement ratios, without increasing stickiness. Robustness is a distinctive feature of the precast concrete produced with MasterGlenium ACE 456.
How is 456 MasterGlenium ACE 456 high-performance superplasticizer applied?
MasterGlenium ACE 456 is suitable for making precast concrete elements with highly-fluid concrete without segregation but low water cement ratio and, consequently, high early and final strengths.
MasterGlenium ACE 456 may be used in combination with MasterMatrix for producing advanced self-compacting concrete like Smart Dynamic Concrete (SDC, latest V-type SCC), without the aid of vibration, for
economic, ecological and ergonomic precast production.
What are the advantages of MasterGlenium ACE 456 high-performancesuperplasticizer?
MasterGlenium ACE 456 offer the following benefits for the precast concrete industry:
- Production of highly flowable, robust self-compacting 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
- Elimination of heat curing
- Improved surface appearance
- Durable precast concrete elements as per EN 206-1
- Elimination of the energy required for placing, compaction and curing
- Optimization of the curing cycles by reducing curing time or curing temperature
- Increased productivity
