Ready Mixed Concrete Solutions
Our innovations in admixtures add value and reliability to concrete construction
Low Clinker Concrete
Reducing the clinker content in concrete is an important sustainability goal in the construction industry, as clinker production is a major source of carbon dioxide emissions. Various admixture solutions can be employed to optimize the performance of low-clinker concrete while maintaining or improving its properties. Our range of MasterCO2re concrete admixtures are based on an Intelligent Cluster System (ICS) which releases its dispersing effect over time providing added benefits to the low-clinker concrete mix.

High-range Superplasticizers
Also known as high-range water reducers, are a type of concrete admixture designed to significantly improve the workability of concrete mixes by reducing the water-to-cement ratio. High-range superplasticizers play a crucial role in the production of high-performance and specialty concretes, offering engineers and contractors the flexibility to achieve specific workability goals while maintaining the necessary strength and durability requirements.

Mid-range Superplasticizers
Also known as mid-range water reducers, are a type of concrete admixture that falls between standard water reducers and high-range water reducers (superplasticizers) in terms of dosage requirements and performance characteristics. These admixtures are specifically designed to provide a balance between workability and water reduction, offering better flow without the extreme fluidity associated with high-range superplasticizers.

Plasticizers
Plasticizers are a type of concrete admixture used to improve the workability and performance of concrete mixes. They are added to the concrete during mixing to reduce the water-to-cement ratio without sacrificing the material's workability. This results in a more flowable and easier-to-handle concrete mix.

Consistency Retainers
In concrete technology retention superplasticizers usually refers to a type of superplasticizer that provides extended slump retention without compromising the other desirable properties of the concrete. Slump retention refers to the ability of the fresh concrete to maintain a certain level of workability over an extended period. This is particularly valuable in large construction projects, complex structures, or situations where logistical challenges may cause delays in the placement of concrete.

Air Entraining
Air-entraining admixtures are specialized concrete additives that introduce microscopic air bubbles into the concrete mix. These air bubbles serve various purposes, and the resulting air-entrained concrete exhibits improved durability and resilience, particularly in freezing and thawing conditions. Properly air-entrained concrete is more resistant to cracking and scaling caused by the expansion of water during freezing conditions.

MasterAir 130 - Air entraining admixture for PQ concrete.
Accelerators
Accelerators are concrete admixtures designed to speed up the setting and early strength development of concrete. Accelerators are valuable in situations where the construction timeline needs to be expedited, such as in cold weather or when there's a need for rapid strength development. Additionally, the choice of accelerator should be based on project-specific requirements and considerations, including temperature, exposure conditions, and desired performance characteristics.

Retarders
Retarders are concrete admixtures designed to slow down the setting time of concrete. They are particularly useful in situations where there is a need to extend the working time of the concrete or when delays in placement and finishing are expected. Retarders offer flexibility in concrete placement, especially in situations where the construction schedule may be affected by logistical challenges or when a deliberate delay in setting time is needed.

Viscosity Modifiers
Viscosity modifiers, also known as rheology-modifying admixtures or workability-retaining admixtures, are concrete additives designed to control the rheological properties of concrete, particularly its viscosity and flow characteristics. Viscosity modifiers are valuable in situations where maintaining the workability and pumpability of concrete is critical. Their use can result in more efficient concrete placement, reduced labour requirements, and improved overall construction quality.

Additives for Dry Silo
Admixtures for dry silo mortar refer to chemical formulations added to pre-mixed dry mortar products stored in silos. These admixtures are designed to enhance various properties of the mortar, such as workability, setting time, and durability. Admixtures play a key role in optimizing the properties of dry silo mortar, contributing to improved workability, durability, and overall construction quality.

Foaming Agents
Foaming agents are concrete admixtures designed to generate stable, uniform air bubbles in concrete mixes, creating lightweight and workable foamed concrete. This type of admixture is used to produce foamed concrete, which has applications in various construction projects, especially when lightweight and insulating properties are desirable. The use of foamed concrete can contribute to energy efficiency in buildings and provide solutions for applications where reduced structural weight is advantageous.
