MasterLife CRA 007
Crack-reducing concrete admixture
How does MasterLife CRA 007 work?
MasterLife CRA 007 admixture is an innovative crack-reducing admixture that is specifically formulated to reduce the magnitude of drying shrinkage and minimize the potential for cracking. Compared to a shrinkage reducing admixture, MasterLife CRA 007 crack-reducing admixture provides enhanced performance through (i) significant reduction in the potential for shrinkage cracking, and (ii) reduced initial crack widths if cracking does occur.
Recommended uses:
- Slabs, parking structures, bridge decks, pavements, water-retaining structures
- Wet-mix shotcrete
- Mortars and grouts
What are the unique features of MasterLife CRA 007?
- Suitable for use in air-entrained concrete
- Reduces drying shrinkage
- Delays time-to-cracking as measured in ASTM C 1581/C 1581M ring test
- Reduces crack widths
What are the benefits of MasterLife CRA 007?
- Enhances watertightness in water-retaining structures
- Increases concrete durability and service life
- Reduces joint maintenance costs in concrete slabs
- Permits increase in joint spacing
- Reduces the environmental footprint of concrete
