GLENIUM ACE 331 

GLENIUM ACE 331 is an innovative second generation polycarboxylic ether polymer superplasticiser with high early strength and improved slump retention.

The particular molecular configuration of GLENIUM ACE 331 accelerates the cement hydration.  Rapid absorption of the molecule onto the cement particles, combined with an efficient dispersion effect maintains workability yet exposes increased surface of the cement grains to react with water. As a result of this effect, 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 a very early age. 

• GLENIUM ACE 331 is suitable for making precast concrete elements at all workability’s including Rheoplastic or Super Workable concrete having a fluid consistence, no segregation, a low water binder ratio and, consequently, high early and long term strengths.
• GLENIUM ACE 331 may be used in combination with other BASF admixtures for producing rheodynamic or Super Workable concrete, capable of self-compaction, even in the presence of densie reinforcement, without the aid of vibration, for making precast elements.
• GLENIUM ACE 331 performs best when the concrete temperature is at 15ºC or above
