Shrinkage-reducing admixture reduces potential for concrete cracking

How does MasterLife SRA 035 work?

MasterLife SRA 035 shrinkage-reducing admixture was developed specifically to reduce drying shrinkage of concrete and mortar, and the potential for subsequent cracking. It functions by reducing capillary tension of pore water, a primary cause of drying shrinkage. MasterLife SRA 035 admixture will meet ASTM C 494/C 494M requirements for Type S, Specific Performance admixtures.

Recommended uses:

• Ready-mixed or precast concrete structures requiring shrinkage reduction and long-term durability

• Wet mix shotcrete

What are the features of MasterLife SRA 035?

• Reduces the capillary tension of pore water in cementitious mixtures

• Provides moderate to significant reductions in the drying shrinkage of cementitious mixtures

• Reduces stresses induced from one-dimensional surface drying in concrete slabs, walls and other elements

What are the benefits of MasterLife SRA 035?

• Reduced microcracking and drying shrinkage cracking in concrete, mortar and paste

• Minimized curling in concrete slabs

• Improves aesthetics, watertightness and durability in concrete elements and structures

• Minimizes prestress loss in prestressed concrete applications​
