MasterLife 300D - Crystalline capillary waterproofing admixture
How does MasterLife 300D work?
MasterLife 300D admixture is an integral crystalline capillary waterproofing admixture for concrete. It is designed for use in above and below grade applications.
Recommended uses:
- Sewage and water treatment plants
- Liquid retaining structures
- Water reservoirs and tanks for potable water
- Swimming pools
- Foundations, basements, lift pits, podiums, balconies and roofs
- Parking structures
- Precast, prestressed and post-tensioned concrete
- Culverts
- Blockfill
- Tunnel and subway systems
- Shotcrete
- Concrete subjected to wet, harsh and aggressive environments
What are the unique features of MasterLife 300D?
The unique formulation of ingredients in MasterLife 300D reacts with the by-products of cement hydration in concrete to form non-soluble crystalline structures in capillary pores. The reaction is with the water and the calcium hydroxide in the hydrating cement to form calcium silicate hydrates and pore blocking precipitates. This effectively seals capillaries as well as heals hairline cracks to 0.4mm after the concrete has passed the plastic state. Interestingly, it allows concrete to breathe. Treated concrete resists positive and negative side hydrostatic pressure..
