SikaPlast® ACE 415

(former MGlenium ACE 415)

Water reducing superplasticizing admixture for precast concrete

SikaPlast® ACE 415 consists of a range of innovative superplasticizers based on newly developed polycarboxylate ether polymers. The particular molecular configuration of SikaPlast® ACE 415 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 consequence, higher strengths at very early age.
The polymer structure of SikaPlast® ACE 415 is specially designed to improve the rheology of precast concrete, making it very flowable and low viscous even at very low water/cement ratios, without increasing stickiness. Robustness is a distinctive feature of the precast concrete produced with SikaPlast® ACE 415.
Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.

SikaPlast® ACE 415 offer the following benefits for the precast concrete industry:
  • Production of highly flowable, robust self-compacting concrete having a low water cement ratio.
  • Enhanced robustness and consistency in concrete quality with low stickiness.
  • Elimination of heat curing.
  • Improved surface appearance.
  • Durable precast concrete elements as per EN 206-1.
  • Optimization of the curing cycles by reducing curing time or curing temperature.
  • Increased productivity.
  • SikaPlast® ACE 415 may be used in combination with Sika® Stabilizer. The technology produces advanced self-compacting concrete, without the aid of vibration. For economic, ecological and ergonomic ready-mix concrete production.
