MasterMatrix VMA 362

Viscosity modifying concrete admixture

How does MasterMatrix VMA 362 work?

MasterMatrix VMA 362 viscosity-modifying admixture (VMA) is a ready-to-use, liquid admixture that is specially developed for producing concrete with enhanced viscosity and controlled rheological properties. Concrete containing MasterMatrix VMA 362 admixture exhibits superior stability, thus increasing resistance to segregation and facilitating placement and consolidation. MasterMatrix VMA 362 admixture meets ASTM C 494/C 494M requirements for Type S, Specific Performance, admixtures.

Recommended uses:

Concrete containing “gap-graded” aggregates
Lean concrete mixtures
Concrete containing manufactured sand
Concrete as a pumping aid
Concrete as a finishing aid
Concrete mixtures requiring “more body”
Self-consolidating concrete (SCC)
Liquid Sand program
Pervious concrete
Self-consolidating grout

What are the unique features of MasterMatrix VMA 362?

Modifies viscosity of concrete
Thixotropic properties

What are the benefits of MasterMatrix VMA 362?

Controls bleeding
Provides flexibility in mixture proportioning and batching
Provides concrete stability during transport and placement
Reduces segregation, even with highly fluid concrete mixtures
Facilitates placement of pervious concrete mixtures
Enhances pumping and finishing
Enhances surface appearance
Provides superior and predictable in-place concrete properties
Facilitates production of highly fluid concrete mixtures such as self-consolidating concrete (SCC)
