Mastermix RC
Mastermix RC in theory
MASTERMIX® RC is a liquid admixture for the concrete, ready for the use and free from chlorides. In its composition are dispersants, that provides excellent water reducement, better workability and enlarges the concrete setting time. It is indicated for the manufacturing of the concrete at high temperatures, so the enlarged setting time allows it to stay in the plastic state for a longer period. MASTERMIX® RC is compatible with every kind of Portland cement, mainly cements with added pozzolan and slag. It attends to the requirements of Brazilian norms and standards NBR 11768 (type PR) and ASTM C494 (type D).
Major Applications
| Fair-faced concrete | Bridge surface reparation concrete |
| Prestressed concrete | Reinforced, precast, pumped, fluid, normal and low weight concretes |
| Ready-mix concrete (to centres, dams, highways, among others) |
Benefits
| Reduces shrinkage and crackings | Reduces permeability |
| Improved finishing of the hardened concrete | Possible reduction of Portland cement amount to a determined resistance |
| Increases the concrete durability | Increases the modulus of elasticity |
| Increases the bending resistance | Increases the compression resistance |
| Reduces the A/C* factor | Eases the pumping |
| Eases the consolidation and the release | Increases the setting time of the Portland cement |
| Improves the concrete workability even at hot weather | Increases cohesion and decreases segregation |
