MasterGlenium 3575
Polycarboxylic ether based superplasticizer
Description:
MasterGlenium 3575 is an innovative latest generation superplasticizer based on polycarboxylic ether (PCE) polymers, and is specially engineered for ready-mix concrete.
MasterGlenium 3575 is differentiated from conventional superplasticisers, such as those based on sulphonated naphthalene formaldehyde condensate in that it is based on a unique carboxylic ether polymer with long lateral chains. This greatly improves cement dispersion. At the start of the mixing process the same electrostatic dispersion occurs but the presence of the lateral chains, linked to the polymer backbone, generate a steric hindrance which stabilises the cement particles capacity to separate and disperse. This mechanism provides flowable concrete with greatly reduced water demand.
What is MasterGlenium 3575 used for?
MasterGlenium 3575 is designed for use in the manufacture of high quality structural concrete elements, sprayed concrete and mass concrete. Concrete mixes made with MasterGlenium 3575 generally have very good slump retention making it suitable for use for long transit times.
