MasterMatrix 33

Rheology-controlling concrete admixture

How does MasterMatrix 33 work?

MasterMatrix 33 rheology-controlling admixture is a patent-pending, liquid admixture that is specially developed for low–slump concrete and paving mixes. MasterMatrix 33 admixture meets ASTM C 494/C 494M requirements for Type S, Specific Performance, admixtures.

Recommended uses:

• Mainline concrete paving
• Low–slump concrete
• Curb and gutter
• Extruded concrete
• Median barriers
• Hollow-core slabs, railroad ties, flat slabs, poles, walls, pipe, and other repetitive products
• Conventional slump concrete and SCC mixtures where enhanced surface appearance is desired

What are the unique features of MasterMatrix 33?

• Modifies concrete rheology
• Acts as a lubricant
• Improves response to vibration
• Exhibits thixotropic properties – adds body

What are the benefits of MasterMatrix 33?

• Higher volume flow which increases productivity/extrusion rate
• Facilitates optimization of cementitious materials content to improve extrusion and surface finish
• Facilitates the use of manufactured or gap-graded sands
• Reduces costs associated with placement and finishing
• Produces smoother surfaces
• Minimizes edge slump
• Improves riding quality
• Enhances aesthetics and durability
• Extends service life of vibrators/paving equipment
