MasterGlenium 3030 | Master Builders Solutions - North America
MasterGlenium 3030 ready-to-use full-range water-reducing admixture is a patented new generation of superplasticizers based on polycarboxylate chemistry. MasterGlenium 3030 admixture is very effective in producing concretes with different levels of workability including applications that require the use of self-consolidating concrete (SCC).

Master Builders Solutions concrete admixtures – enabling
Fairfaced concrete is as popular as ever and remains in high demand for interior finishing and facade design. Visually attractive surfaces require superior concrete quality. This is where Master Builders Solutions concrete admixtures come in: They ensure void-free, smooth and sharp-edged concrete surfaces that meet the highest requirements on esthetics and design and, at the same time
Use of Water Reducers, Retarders, and Superplasticizer
Other benefit of using WRA is that higher concrete density is achieved which makes the concrete less permeable and have a higher durability. Retarding admixtures. The use of this admixture is defined in ASTM C494. There are two kinds of retarders, defined as Type B (Retarding Admixtures) and Type D (Water Reducing and Retarding Admixtures).
- Does superplasticizer admixture affect concrete quality?
- The experiments were classified into two phases: the first phase focused on the effects of superplasticizer admixture on workability and compressive strength, and the second phase determined the influence of superplasticizer admixture on concrete quality by reducing the amount of mixing water.
- What is a superplasticizer in concrete?
- Superplasticizers allow a 30% or more reduction in water content. It is chemical admixtures that are added to the concrete to improve their flowing ability, they help to reduce the amount of water in the concrete and to improve the strength and durability of concretes. They achieve a reduction in water content without loss of workability.
- Is superplasticizer a good choice for hardened concrete?
- The experiment program included tests on workability, slump test, and flow table. For hardened concrete’s compressive strength test, we compared the properties of superplasticizer-based concrete with those of concrete without superplasticizer. The superplasticizer led to a significant water reduction but maintained workability.
- Does superplasticizer admixture improve workability and compressive strength?
- Results showed that the addition of superplasticizer admixture improved workability and compressive strength. The experiment program included tests on workability, slump test, and flow table.
- What is a superplasticizer used for?
- Superplasticizers (SPs), also known as high range water reducers, are additives used for making high strength concrete or to place self-compacting concrete. Plasticizers are chemical compounds enabling the production of concrete with approximately 15% less water content. Superplasticizers allow reduction in water content by 30% or more.
- Can super plasticizers reduce water content in concrete mix?
- The use of super plasticizers can permit the reduction of water in the concrete mix upto 30% without producing any ill effect on the workability of the concrete i.e. without reduction in the workability of concrete, where as normal plasticizers with doses upto 0.1 to 0.4% by weight of cement can reduce water content from 5 to 15%.
