Glenium ACE 456
Description and field of application
GLENIUM ACE (Admixture Controlled Energy) 456 consists of a range of innovative superplasticizers based on newly developed polycarboxylate ether polymers. The particular molecular configuration of GLENIUM ACE 456 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 GLENIUM 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 GLENIUM ACE 456.
