Hardening & Accelerating Admixture to Boost Early-Age Cement Hydration
How Does Master X-Seed 1500 Work?
Master X-Seed 1500 promotes concrete hardening at low, ambient, and even heat-curing temperatures. X-Seed’s innovative crystal seeding technology accelerates the growth of Calcium Silicate Hydrate crystals, increasing the hydration process of early-age cement (6-12 hours). Master X-Seed 1500 complies with AS1478.1-2000 Type SAc Special Purpose Accelerating.
Recommended Uses of Master X-Seed 1500
Master X-Seed 1500 is optimised for shotcrete and structural precast elements where high early strength development is a key success factor for the concrete producer. Master X-Seed 1500 is an innovative alternative to heat curing and also supports the use of binders with lower clinker content.
What Are the Unique Features of Master X-Seed 1500?
Master X-Seed 1500 is the essential component of Master Builders Solutions Crystal Speed Hardening (CSH) concept. CSH and Master X-Seed together provide:
10% reduction in CO2 output
15% lower energy costs
50% faster concrete hardening
What Are the Benefits of Master X-Seed 1500?
Beneficial across a wide array of uses and industries, Master X-Seed 1500 has been developed to ensure a number of invaluable benefits. These include:
Early strength acceleration at low, ambient, and heat-curing temperatures
Improved rheology
Earlier re-entry times with shotcrete
Flexible adjustment of production capacities
Increased production cycles (double, triple rotation)
Better use of formwork by earlier de-moulding
Reduction/elimination of heat curing
Reduced investment and running cost of curing
Allows use of minimum required cement quantities
Allows for the optimisation of concrete by using less clinker-containing cement
Increased utilisation of supplementary cementitious materials
Lower risk of delayed ettringite formation
Reduced water absorption
Improved concrete durability aspects
Improved plant and product eco-efficiency by reducing CO2 emissions
If you’re interested in improving the quality and absorption of your cement mixes, Master X-Seed 1500 is the ideal solution.
