Glenium 8100 

Glenium 8100 is an innovative second generation polycarboxylic ether polymer superplasticiser with improved slump retention.

The particular molecular configuration of Glenium 8100 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.

Complies with AS1478.1-2000 Type HWR High Range Water-reducing.

• Glenium 8100 is suitable for making precast concrete elements at all workability’s including rheoplastic concrete having a fluid consistence, no segregation, a low water binder ratio and, consequently, high early and long term strengths.
• Glenium 8100 may be used in combination with other BASF CC 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 8100 performs best when the concrete temperature is at 15ºC or above
