MasterGlenium SKY 8455

Robust High Range Water Reducing admixture with Suretec (super retention technology) for premixed and precast applications

How does MasterGlenium SKY 8455 work?

MasterGlenium SKY 8455 is a uniquely formulated latest generation High Range Water Reducer with super retention and fast wet-out technology. MasterGlenium SKY 8455 contains polycarboxylate ether polymers combined with SURETEC polymers for ready-mixed & precast concrete where moderate slump retention, improved rheology, durability, high early & ultimate strengths are required. The product is also designed for use with concrete ingredients that may be inconsistent in quality.

Recommended uses:

Premixed and precast concrete
Faster dispersion resulting in time savings
High flowing concrete
Concrete requiring improved surface finish
High Strength & Ultra High Strength Concrete
Super Workable Concrete, Self-Consolidating Concrete, Self-Compacting Concrete (SCC)
High Performance Concrete (HPC) with high durability specifications
Pumped concrete
Piling mixes
Pre-stressed and post tensioned concrete

What makes MasterGlenium SKY 8455 a unique solution?

A unique combination of dispersion and steric hindrance effects makes the admixture ideal for the ready-mixed and precast concrete industries. MasterGlenium SKY 8455 enables the concrete producer to produce high performance, high strength and self-compacting type mixes with relatively low and stable air contents.

What are the benefits of MasterGlenium SKY 8455?

Normal setting characteristics throughout the recommended dose range
Reduced segregation, particularly in lean mixes and mid-slump concrete
Superior slump retention
Improved workability and pumpability
Reduced water content for a given workability
Enhanced finishability improving finished appearance
No added chlorides, thus conforming to the most stringent chloride ion limits including AS3600
Increased strength – compressive, flexural and bond (concrete to steel)
Increased durability (e.g. permeability, water- tightness)
Reduced cracking
Neutral effect on drying shrinkage
