Sika® ViscoCrete® ACE 507 M
(former MGlenium ACE 507M)
A NEW GENERATION OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE POLYCARBOXYLATE ETHER (PCE) SUPERPLASTICIZERS FOR THE PRECAST INDUSTRY. ESSENTIAL COMPONENT OF ZERO ENERGY SYSTEM
Sika® ViscoCrete® ACE 507 M (Admixture Controlled Energy) consists of a range of innovative superplasticizers based on newly developed polycarboxylate ether polymer. The particular molecular configuration of Sika® ViscoCrete® ACE 507 M accelerates the cement hydration by exposing increased surface of the cement grains to react with water. As a result, it is possible to obtain earlier development of the heat of hydration, rapid development of the hydration products and, as a result, higher strengths achievement at very early age. The polymer structure of Sika® ViscoCrete® ACE 507 M is specially designed to improve the rheology of precast concrete, making it very flowable and low viscous even at very low water/cement ratio, without increasing stickiness. Robustness is a distinctive feature of the precast concrete produced with Sika® ViscoCrete® ACE 507 M. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.
ZERO ENERGY SYSTEM
Zero Energy System is based on a combination of the latest Sika® ViscoCrete® superplasticizers and advanced self-compacting concrete technology. The Zero Energy System has been developed to help the precast concrete producer to rationalize his production process and save on energy costs combined with improved quality of the product and the working conditions.
- Production of highly flowable self-compacting concrete having a low water cement ratio along with an optimal rheology.
- Enhanced robustness and consistency in concrete quality with low stickiness.
- Environmentally friendly, CO2 reduced mix design optimization.
- Elimination of heat curing.
- Improved surface appearance.
- Durable precast concrete elements as per BS EN 206-1.
- Elimination of the energy required for placing, compaction and curing (ZERO ENERGY).
- Optimization of the curing temperature.
- Increased productivity.
