Intelligent Cluster System for Low-clinker Concrete

Reducing the clinker content in concrete is a major sustainability goal in the construction industry, as clinker production is one of the primary sources of carbon dioxide emissions. To optimize the performance of low-clinker concrete while maintaining or improving its properties, various admixture solutions can be utilized. Our MasterCO2re concrete admixtures series is based on "Intelligent Cluster System" (ICS) technology, which gradually releases its dispersing effect over time, thereby providing additional benefits to low-clinker concrete mixes.

Key advantages offered by MasterCO2re to ready-mix concrete producers:

• Advanced rheology: Concretes prepared with MasterCO2re technology have lower viscosity compared to traditional superplasticizers. This makes pumping and placing the concrete easier and faster. Even in concrete mixes with reduced clinker content, the water content can be further reduced without compromising rheological properties.

• Excellent strength properties: MasterCO2re supports the formation of a dense and homogeneous structure of cement hydrates, ensuring optimum strength development.

• Unmatched durability: Constantly changing cement types and binder compositions can make stability and quality consistency challenging in the daily operations of concrete batching plants. MasterCO2re successfully balances high water absorption tendencies that may arise from variations in the chemical and mineralogical compositions of binders, as well as unwanted interactions that could occur with admixtures.

• Excellent workability retention: Thanks to the Intelligent Cluster System, MasterCO2re gradually releases the polymer over time; this ensures that fluidity and workability remain consistent during the transportation and placement of concrete.
