Master X-Seed STE, Strength-Enhancing Admixture

Master X-Seed STE is a patent-pending, strength-enhancing admixture that improves both early and late-age strength of concrete. Master X-Seed STE admixture is based on a unique technology that facilitates improved cement hydration, thus enhancing strength development and support sustainable construction. The strength-enhancing property of Master X-Seed STE admixture permits a reduction in the total cementitious material content of given concrete mixture while maintaining compressive strength development equivalent to that of reference concrete with associated benefits in CO2 emission reduction.

Recommended uses:

• Green Sense Concrete
  
• Ready-mixed concrete
  
• Prestressed concrete
  
• Precast concrete
  
• Self-consolidating concrete (SCC)
  

Features of Master X-Seed STE strength-enhancing admixture

• Improves cement hydration
  
• Increases strength development – both early (1-day) and late-age (28-day)
  
• Reduces heat of hydration through reduction of cementitious content
  

Benefits of Master X-Seed STE strength-enhancing admixture

• Provides strength safety factor and/or expanded performance space
  
• Reduces in-place concrete costs when utilized in optimized concrete mixtures
  
• Permits higher replacement levels of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs)
  
• Permits earlier stripping and reuse of forms
  
• Helps reduce CO₂ emissions associated with concrete
