MasterLife 300D

Crystalline Capillary Waterproofing Admixture to Reduce Water Penetration in Concrete

Structural waterproofing is vital in cement construction, with durability against the elements being a major factor in whether or not a structure will stand the test of time. For this, Master Builders Solutions offers MasterLife 300D for construction projects across Australia and New Zealand. For reducing capillary absorption and the penetration of liquids, few waterproofing solutions can offer MasterLife 300D's level of protection.

How Does MasterLife 300D Work?

MasterLife 300D admixture is an integral crystalline capillary waterproofing admixture for concrete. It is designed for use in above and below-grade applications.

Recommended Uses:

• Sewage and water treatment plants

• Liquid retaining structures

• Water reservoirs and tanks for potable water

• Swimming pools

• Foundations, basements, lift pits, podiums, balconies and roofs

• Parking structures

• Precast, prestressed and post-tensioned concrete

• Culverts

• Block fill

• Tunnel and subway systems

• Shotcrete

• Concrete subjected to wet, harsh and aggressive environments

What Makes MasterLife 300D a Unique Solution?

The unique formulation of ingredients in MasterLife 300D reacts with the by-products of cement hydration in concrete to form non-soluble crystalline structures in capillary pores. The reaction is with the water and the calcium hydroxide in the hydrating cement to form calcium silicate hydrates and pore-blocking precipitates. This effectively seals capillaries as well as heals hairline cracks up to 0.4mm after the concrete has passed the plastic state. Interestingly, it allows concrete to breathe. Treated concrete resists positive and negative side hydrostatic pressure.

What Are the Benefits of MasterLife 300D?

• Reduces concrete permeability, optimising the durability of concrete

• Reduces penetration of water and other liquids

• Allows concrete to breathe

• Seals hairline cracks

• Resists positive and negative side hydrostatic pressure

• Protects against sewage and industrial wastes
