MasterX-Seed 1500

Hardening & Accelerating Admixture to Boost Early-Age Cement Hydration

How Does Master X-Seed 1500 Work?

Master X-Seed 1500 promotes concrete hardening at low, ambient, and even heat-curing temperatures. X-Seed’s innovative crystal seeding technology accelerates the growth of Calcium Silicate Hydrate crystals, increasing the hydration process of early-age cement (6-12 hours). Master X-Seed 1500 complies with AS1478.1-2000 Type SAc Special Purpose Accelerating.

Recommended Uses of Master X-Seed 1500

Master X-Seed 1500 is optimised for shotcrete and structural precast elements where high early strength development is a key success factor for the concrete producer. Master X-Seed 1500 is an innovative alternative to heat curing and also supports the use of binders with lower clinker content.

What Are the Unique Features of Master X-Seed 1500?

Master X-Seed 1500 is the essential component of Master Builders Solutions Crystal Speed Hardening (CSH) concept. CSH and Master X-Seed together provide:

• 10% reduction in CO2 output

• 15% lower energy costs

• 50% faster concrete hardening

What Are the Benefits of Master X-Seed 1500?

Beneficial across a wide array of uses and industries, Master X-Seed 1500 has been developed to ensure a number of invaluable benefits. These include:

• Early strength acceleration at low, ambient, and heat-curing temperatures

• Improved rheology

• Earlier re-entry times with shotcrete

• Flexible adjustment of production capacities

• Increased production cycles (double, triple rotation)

• Better use of formwork by earlier de-moulding

• Reduction/elimination of heat curing

• Reduced investment and running cost of curing

• Allows use of minimum required cement quantities

• Allows for the optimisation of concrete by using less clinker-containing cement

• Increased utilisation of supplementary cementitious materials

• Lower risk of delayed ettringite formation

• Reduced water absorption

• Improved concrete durability aspects

• Improved plant and product eco-efficiency by reducing CO2 emissions

If you’re interested in improving the quality and absorption of your cement mixes, Master X-Seed 1500 is the ideal solution.
