MasterCast 450 is a non-chlorinated admixture of a new chemical generation based on modified polycarboxylate ether. This admixture has been developed for use in the concrete industry where high quality, durability, and high initial and final mechanical performance are required. It allows for the production of workable concrete with very high water reductions, thus ensuring high-quality concrete. It brings improvements in placement, performance, and intrinsic concrete quality. MasterCast 450 distinguishes itself from traditional superplasticizers by its innovative action, significantly improving cement dispersion through electrostatic repulsion and steric effect. It combines two successive actions: an active part acts immediately, and a second part activates progressively with pH evolution. This maintains the dispersion state, preventing flocculation and premature stiffening. It helps secure results by complying with NF standards for concrete products, reducing dimensional variations and increasing resistance and regularity.
