MasterMatrix 33

Rheology-controlling concrete admixture

How does MasterMatrix 33 work?

MasterMatrix 33 rheology-controlling admixture is a patent-pending, liquid admixture that is specially developed for low–slump concrete and paving mixes. MasterMatrix 33 admixture meets ASTM C 494/C 494M requirements for Type S, Specific Performance, admixtures.

Recommended uses:

Mainline concrete paving
Low–slump concrete
Curb and gutter
Extruded concrete
Median barriers
Hollow-core slabs, railroad ties, flat slabs, poles, walls, pipe, and other repetitive products
Conventional slump concrete and SCC mixtures where enhanced surface appearance is desired

What are the unique features of MasterMatrix 33?

Modifies concrete rheology
Acts as a lubricant
Improves response to vibration
Exhibits thixotropic properties – adds body

What are the benefits of MasterMatrix 33?

Higher volume flow which increases productivity/extrusion rate
Facilitates optimization of cementitious materials content to improve extrusion and surface finish
Facilitates the use of manufactured or gap-graded sands
Reduces costs associated with placement and finishing
Produces smoother surfaces
Minimizes edge slump
Improves riding quality
Enhances aesthetics and durability
Extends service life of vibrators/paving equipment
