Innovation: MasterEase – superplasticizers for low-viscosity concrete
The MasterEase range launched by BASF is a new generation of superplasticizers for low-viscosity concrete. These new agents improve the rheological properties of fresh concrete, more specifically by reducing its viscosity whilst retaining its yield point. In the conventional slump test of self-compacting concrete, for instance, this means that concretes with added MasterEase superplasticizer exhibit an identical slump flow at a similar plasticizer ratio, yet they flow significantly faster. These characteristics thus lead to highly flowable, stable concretes.
In practice, these beneficial...
