network by interacting with water molecules and increase the viscosity of
the cement paste, just like a flowing matrix, which bring aggregate
flow, allowing concrete to achieve outstanding fluidity and stability
without segregation and bleeding as well as unaffected setting times
and strength developments of the concrete.
Smart Dynamic Concrete concept offers “3E” benefits to multiple
stakeholders in the construction value chain:
� “Economical”: 1) less cement in concrete; 2) over 50% manpower
reduction during placing of the concrete and 3) the faster
construction, hence total construction cost savings.
� “Ecological”: less cement in concrete means less CO2 emissions
� “Ergonomic”: friendly to the environment and user as negligible
vibration is required for consolidation, thus reducing noise
pollution
and physical effort required during placing of concrete.
“With this launch of Glenium ® 6500 series, we are very pleased to offer
Smart Dynamic Concrete in earnest in Japanese market.” said Mr.
Hironobu Yamamiya, Marketing Manager Ready-Mix Concrete, BASF
Pozzolith. “The traditional high flowable concrete with self consolidating
property was developed already 20 years ago but not adopted by the
market as the solution was perceived as too expensive and the complex
process for manufacturing. With Glenium i
® 6500 as Smart Dynam c
Concrete we are addressing these challenges and will bring a new
standard for construction companies We expect that civil engineering
consultants and architects can benefit by adopting this new technology
in their work.” added Hironobu Yamamiya.
