The Glemium SKY plasticizer renders concrete with excellent flowability properties that ensure a low pressure during the pumping process: This permits the vertical pumping of the concrete to record heights of 600 meters, thus making possible the construction of the world’s highest building in the first place. The use of Glenium SKY gives the concrete a high early strength for quickly adding floor on top of floor and a rapid progression of the building process.
Glenium SKY owes its high performance as a plasticizer to polycarboxylate ether polymers developed by Admixture Systems through the utilization of specialized nanotechnology.
