Master X-Seed 55 is a patent-pending, strength-enhancing admixture that improves both early and late-age strength development in concrete, while supporting sustainable construction. Master X-Seed 55 admixture is based on a unique technology that facilitates improved cement hydration, thus enhancing strength development. The strength-enhancing property of Master X-Seed 55 admixture permits a reduction in the total cementitious materials content of a given concrete mixture while maintaining compressive strength development equivalent to that of reference concrete with associated benefits in CO2 emissions reductions.
Recommended uses:
- Green Sense Concrete
- Ready-mixed concrete
- Prestressed concrete
- Precast concrete
- Self-consolidating concrete (SCC)
Features of Master X-Seed 55 strength-enhancing admixture
- Improves cement hydration
- Increases strength development – both early – (1-day) and late-age (28-day)
- Enhances workability of high-performance concrete mixtures
Benefits of Master X-Seed 55 strength-enhancing admixture
- Provides a strength safety factor and/or expanded performance space
- Reduces in-place concrete costs when utilized in optimized concrete mixtures
- Permits higher replacement levels of supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs)
- Permits earlier stripping and reuse of forms
- Helps reduce CO2 emissions associated with concrete
