MasterCO2re 5800

Superplasticizer based on the Intelligent Cluster System (ICS) Technology for low clinker concrete production – BS EN / EN 934-2: T3.1 & T3.2

What is MasterCO₂re 5800

MasterCO₂re 5800 is an innovative superplasticizer, based on the Intelligent Cluster System (ICS) Technology, developed in the R&D Laboratories of Master Builders Solutions. Ideal for making precast elements with highly-fluid concrete without segregation. This technology allows low water/cement ratios and consequently, high early and final strengths. MasterCO₂re 5800 combines the performances of fluidification, workability and superior rheology in one single solution.

MasterCO₂re 5800 provides the perfect choice for stable and robust concrete performance in challenging low-clinker applications, paving the way for a more responsible future in the construction industry.

Areas of Application

MasterCO₂re 5800 is especially engineered for precast concrete applications providing fluid consistency and for self-compacting concrete, to impart exceptional rheological properties in all curing conditions.

MasterCO₂re 5800 has been developed to have a particular synergy for use with the Master X-Seed Crystal Speed Hardening concept.

Features and Benefits

MasterCO₂re 5800 offers the following main benefits:

• Production of highly flowable, robust self-compacting concrete having a low water cement ratio along with an optimal rheology.

• Enhanced robustness and consistency in concrete quality with low stickiness.

• Sustainable performance, counteracting the potential of high-water absorption and other undesirable effects caused by the variation in chemical and mineralogical composition of the binders.

• Potential elimination or reduction of heat curing.

• Improved surface appearance.

• Durable precast concrete elements as per EN 206-1.

• Elimination of the energy required for placing, compaction and curing (ZERO ENERGY)

• Optimization of the curing cycles by reducing curing time or curing temperature. Increased productivity. particularly in combination with Master X-Seed Crystal Speed Hardening

Advanced rheology: concrete with MasterCO₂re 5800 has lower viscosity allowing easier placement, passing ability and resistance to segregation. Thanks to this superior rheology, the content of water can be further reduced without compromising the stability even in concrete mixes with reduced clinker amount.

The Intelligent Cluster System (ICS) Technology

MasterCO₂re 5800, thanks to its Intelligent Cluster System (ICS), can immediately release a portion of its available engineered polymers for initial water reduction. The finely tuned chemical structures of the diverse clusters adapt the release mechanism of the polymers to the characteristics of the cement matrix, thereby optimizing both workability retention and cement hydration. In this way, MasterCO₂re 5800 successfully controls the absorption rate and ensures consistently high performance of the concrete.
