MasterCast 1000

MasterCast 1000​

New Generation Plasticizing Admixture​

How does MasterCast 1000 work?

MasterCast 1000 plasticizing admixture is based on a unique, patented chemistry specially formulated to enhance the production efficiency and aesthetic appeal of manufactured concrete products, especially those made with manufactured sand or other harsh materials. As compared to traditional plasticizing chemistries, MasterCast 1000 admixture additionally disperses cement, pozzolans, and integral pigments, further reduces compaction/extrusion resistance, and improves both material feed and distribution. This results in increased compressive and flexural strengths, faster production rates, and improved surface finish characteristics.

Recommended uses for MasterCast 1000:​

• Concrete blocks
