Smart Dynamic Concrete: for highly flowable standard concretes 

How to save time, money and energy 

With the construction of bridges or high-rise structures, concrete has to flow smoothly and retain its quality without any segregation of its components. Our innovative RheoMATRIX® admixture and the Smart Dynamic ConcreteTM system master this challenge. They help manufacturers achieve a new, highly flowable, and robust concrete generation with self-compacting properties that can be produced just as easily as standard concrete.

Customer requirement

    Our solution
  • Robust, flowable, and durable concrete
  • Cost-efficient production and application

 

 
  • The Rheomatrix viscosity modifying agent and the Smart Dynamic Concrete system
  • Provide standard concrete with self-compacting properties


              Storebælt-Bridge, Denmark: Its structure is made of steel-reinforced concrete

High workability

Rheomatrix, the core element of Smart Dynamic Concrete, makes standard concrete self-compacting. Placement can often be carried out by a single worker, without the need for energy-expensive mechanical compacting. In this way, manufacturers can increase work productivity up to fivefold and save energy at the same time.

Perfectly harmonized

Apart from the key element Rheomatrix, Smart Dynamic Concrete includes a tailor-made admixture from the Glenium® product family and a robust concrete mix with a low fines proportion. The three elements complement each other optimally: Glenium provides the concrete with optimal flowability and high early strength; Rheomatrix makes it more robust; the low fines proportion improves the concrete’s eco-efficiency. The largest fines component is cement, the production of which causes CO2 emissions.
