MasterGlenium SKY 8708

New Generation High Range Water Reducing Admixture with Super Retaining Technology for Premix, Precast, and Shotcrete Applications

How Does MasterGlenium SKY 8708 Work?

MasterGlenium SKY 8708 is a uniquely formulated, latest generation high range water reducer with super retention technology.

MasterGlenium SKY 8708 contains polycarboxylate ether polymers combined with Suretec polymers for ready-mixed and precast concrete where slump retention, improved rheology, durability, and high early and ultimate strength are required. The degree of slump retention will depend on ambient temperature, mix design, and dose rate.

MasterGlenium SKY 8708 is free of added chlorides and is compatible with all cement meeting recognised international standards. It meets the requirements for High Range Water Reducers according to AS 1478.1-2000, Type HWR.

Recommended Uses:

• Slump retaining and super slump retaining concrete

• Faster mixing logistics during large jobs

• High flowability concrete

• Shotcrete

• Concrete that requires improved surface finish

• Premix and precast concrete

• High-strength/ultra-high-strength concrete

• Super workable concrete/self-consolidating concrete

• High-performance concrete with high durability

• Pumped concrete

• Piling mixes

• Pre-stressed and post-tensioned concrete

What Makes MasterGlenium SKY 8708 a Unique Solution?

A unique combination of dispersion and steric hindrance effect makes MasterGlenium SKY 8708 the ideal admixture for ready-mixed, precast, and shotcrete applications. The ability to work with low water/cement ratios and still obtain extended slump retention allows for the manufacture of high-quality concrete.
