GLENIUM ACE 39 

GLENIUM ACE 39 is an innovative high-range water-reducing admixture (superplasticiser) based on third generation polycarboxylic ether polymers with improved workability and finishing.  The particular molecular configuration of GLENIUM ACE 39 accelerates the cement hydration.  Rapid absorption of the molecule onto the cement particles, combined with an efficient dispersion effect, exposes an increased usrface area 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.  This makes GLENIUM ACE 39 particularly beneficial for precast concrete applications.  GLENIUM ACE 39 meets the requirements of AS1478.1 for Type HWR admixtures.

• GLENIUM ACE 39 is suitable for making precast concrete elements at all workabilities including Rheoplastic concrete having flowable consistence, no segregation and low water cement ratio and, consequently, high early and long term strengths.
• GLENIUM ACE 39 may be used alone, or in combination with RHEOMAC VMA admixtures for producing Rheodynamic concrete, capable of self-compaction, even in the presence of dense reinforcement, without the aid of vibration, for making precast elements.
• GLENIUM ACE 39 performs best when the concrete temperature is at 20C or above.
