​MasterSet R107

Low dosage, retarding and plasticising admixture for concrete​

Description:

MasterSet R 107 is a liquid admixture, which acts on cement particles in the mix, combining the effects of a powerful plasticiser and deflocculating agent with controlled retardation.

 Applications:

• Hot weather concreting, where controlled delay to initial set is of prime importance.
• Ready-mix concrete, where workability retention coupled with retardation of initial set are beneficial. 
• To improve cohesion, workability and compaction in concretes using poorly graded/shaped fine aggregates.
• Large slabs or bridge decks, etc., where extension of vibration limits is beneficial to avoid cold joints.

Advantages:

• Considerably extends vibration limit of concrete mixes, thus reducing incidence of honeycombing and cold joints.
• Reduces placing problems in hot weather concreting, by improving workability and workability retention.
• Improves trowelability and surface finish.
• Improves pumpability of concrete.
• Considerably reduces permeability.
• Enables economies in mix designs to be achieved.​
