The world requires new construction to provide essential homes, offices, and infrastructure for a growing, increasingly urban population. At the same time, those designing, commissioning, investing in, managing, and delivering construction projects are facing pressure to lower the embodied carbon and resource consumption in new and refurbished developments, as part of the path to net-zero.
Master Builders Solutions is well-equipped to support the construction sector to navigate many challenges — from cement and concrete suppliers to contractors, engineers, architects, investors, and managers.
Our admixture solutions can reduce the quantity of cement required in concrete, improve the longevity of concrete, enhance the workability of low carbon concrete containing low-clinker cements, and enable the recycling and use of returned concrete to contribute to the circular economy. Our admixtures can reduce curing energy demands and improve cycle times, hence significantly improving efficiency and cost.

Some of our sustainable solutions
MasterEase:
Superplasticizers for low-viscosity concrete
A family of advanced superplasticisers that help produce concrete with lower viscosity and improved workability, thus allowing for better manipulation or further water reduction and strength enhancement or to overcome the challenges when using increased amounts of supplementary cementitious materials (SCM) to reduce carbon footprint.
MasterSuna:
Solutions for challenging raw materials
A range of water-reducing admixtures that enable the use of recycled aggregates or low-spec sand (clay contaminated, crushed recycled aggregates) in concrete, supporting circularity and preserving natural resources.
Master X-Seed:
Advanced concrete hardening accelerator
Concrete strength enhancing admixtures increasing the strength of concrete, reducing the total quantity of cement required, and enabling a higher proportion of SCM
