MasterEase 3626
Superplasticizer to produce high-quality precast concrete with enhanced rheology
Description:
MasterEase 3626 is one of the latest products developed as a result of our ongoing innovation drive. Based on a new, and patented polymerisation process, MasterEase 3626 is specifically developed for use in the precast industry. MasterEase 3626 has been developed to provide an improved concrete rheology without compromising the early strength development of the concrete and improved final concrete strengths.
The polymer structure of MasterEase 3626 is specially designed to improve the rheology of precast concrete, to allow for very flowable and with low viscosity even at very low water/cement ratios. Robustness, surface finish and retention performance are a distinctive feature of the precast concrete produced with MasterEase 3626.
Thanks to its tailored mode of action in concrete, MasterEase 3626 imparts a level of viscosity within a mix enabling the right balance between fluidity, passing ability and resistance to segregation to be achieved.
Characteristics and Benefits:
MasterEase 3626 offers the following benefits for the concrete industry:
- Production of high slump concrete or highly flowable, robust self-compacting concrete having a low water cement ratio along with an optimal rheology.
- Concrete is easier to place and finish.
- Enhanced rheology is maintained from time of mixing to time of placement.
- Insurance that concrete meets original specification
- High quality, durable precast concrete elements
- Improved surface appearance
- Elimination or reduction of the energy required for placing, compaction and curing.
- Enables SCC (Self-compacting concrete) with re-duced fines content.
