Chemical Admixtures. Chemical admixtures are the ingredients in concrete other than portland cement, water, and aggregate that are added to the mix immediately before or during mixing. Producers use admixtures primarily to reduce the cost of concrete construction; to modify the properties of hardened concrete; to ensure the quality of …
High Early Strength Concrete (HESC) is one type of high-performance concrete. HESC production requires high-quality materials and additives, namely chemical admixture type C (superplasticizer) to ...
Concrete admixtures are natural or manufactured chemicals or additives added during concrete mixing to enhance specific properties of the fresh or hardened concrete, such as workability, durability, or early and final strength. The first step in optimizing concrete is to recognize that concrete is no longer simply cementitious materials ...
Chemical Admixtures Are One of the Components in High Performance Concrete. The first step in optimizing concrete is to recognize that concrete is no longer simply cementitious materials, aggregates and water. It is a high performance material with not just four, but seven essentials – consisting of water, cementitious material, sand, gravel ...
Hardening accelerating admixture: Admixtures that increase the rate of development of early strength in the concrete, with or without affecting the setting time. Setting is normally determined by measuring the time until a certain mechanical resistance is obtained when a penetration needle is forced into the cement paste (e.g. the Vicat apparatus).
1. Introduction. Concrete forms a structural matrix by combining cement, water, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and admixture. The strength of concrete is developed by the homogeneous bonding force of each material, and the primary influential factor of the strength development is cement.

Master X-Seed STE is a patent-pending, strength enhancing admixture that improves both early and late-age strength development in concrete, while supporting sustainable construction. Master XSeed STE admixture is based on a unique technology that facilitates improved cement hydration, thus enhancing strength development.
Dosages needed vary by the particular concrete mix and type of superplasticizer used. They can also produce a high strength concrete. As with most types of admixtures, superplasticizers can affect other concrete properties as well. The specific effects, however, should be found from the manufacturer or concrete supplier. 4.
