Glenium 270B Suretec 

GLENIUM 270B SURETEC is a super-plasticiser of a new generation based on modified polycarboxylic ether polymers with super retention technology. The excellent dispersion effect makes GLENIUM 270B SURETEC the ideal admixture for ready mix concrete industry, when superior performance is required, even under difficult conditions.

GLENIUM 270B SURETEC combines exceptional long slump life with normal setting times. Its application is especially beneficial when used in hot climate or with demanding mix designs. GLENIUM 270B SURETEC does not contain added chloride and conforms to chloride ion limits required by concrete industry standards.

GLENIUM 270B SURETEC is universally applicable and provides improved rheological properties for a widerange of concrete mixes. Performance of GLENIUM 270B SURETEC in concrete is superior to conventional superplasticisers due to its unique polycarboxylate ether design.

Conventional superplasticisers, such as those based on sulphonated melamine and naphthalene formaldehyde condensates, at the same time of mixing, become absorbed onto the surface of the cement particles. This absorption takes place at a very early stage in the hydration process. The sulphonic groups of the polymer chains increase the negative charge on the surface of the cement particle and dispersion of the cement occurs by electrostatic repulsion.

Contrary to conventional superplasticisers the dispersion mechanism of GLENIUM 270B SURETEC is not only based on electrostatic repulsion but in addition also on steric hindrances. GLENIUM 270B SURETEC achieves outstanding water reduction and workability retention without retardation of setting time.
