A high range water reducing admixture, based on modified polycarboxylic ether polymers. Primarily developed for the ready-mix concrete industry where slump retention, high strength and durability are required. It has a primary role in producing ‘self compacting concrete’ The excellent dispersion effect makes GLENIUM 27 the ideal admixture for the ready-mix concrete industry. The ability to work with a very low water/cement ratio and still obtain extended slump retention, allows for the manufacture of high quality concrete.
Features and Benefits
Self compacting concrete.
Rheoplastic concrete with the lowest water/cement ratio.
No segregation or bleeding.
Low vibration time required even in case of highly reinforced concrete.
Compared to traditional superplasticizers, the addition of GLENIUM 27 reduces risks of retempering concrete on the job site with additional water and improves the engineering properties of concrete i.e. early and ultimate strengths modulus of elasticity; bond strength to steel, depths of carbonation, impermeability, resistance to chemical aggressive agents, shrinkage and creep.
