Water-Reducing and Strength-Enhancing Admixture
Master X-Seed 66 is a patented, water-reducing and strength-enhancing admixture that improves both early- and late-age strength development in concrete, while supporting sustainable construction. Master X-Seed 66 admixture is based on a unique technology that facilitates improved cement hydration, thus enhancing strength development. It includes polycarboxylate technology that helps produce concrete mixtures with different levels of workability. Master X-Seed 66 admixture meets ASTM C494/C494M requirements for Type A, water-reducing, admixtures.
The strength-enhancing property of Master X-Seed 66 admixture permits a reduction in the total cementitious materials content of a given concrete mixture while maintaining compressive strength development equivalent to that of reference concrete, with associated benefits in CO2 emissions reduction.
Recommended Uses of Master X-Seed 66:
Green Sense concrete
Ready-mixed concrete
Prestressed concrete
Precast concrete
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC)
What Are the Features of Master X-Seed 66 Strength-Enhancing Admixture?
