Master X-Seed 100
Hardening accelerating admixture for concrete - EN 934-2: T7
How does Master X-Seed 100 work?
Master X-Seed 100 is an engineered suspension
of crystal seeds containing nanoparticles,
designed to boost the hydration process of early
age cement (6-12 hrs). Based on unique and
innovative seeding technology, the growth of the
essential Calcium Silicate Hydrate crystals is
strongly accelerated.
Master X-Seed 100 promotes concrete hardening
at low, ambient and even heat curing
temperatures. Unlike traditional acceleration
methods and thanks to the unique mode of action
- the virtually barrier-free crystal growth of the
seeds in between the cement grains - early
strength development is accelerated while the final
microstructure benefits from equivalent or
improved properties.
What is Master X-Seed 100 used for?
Master X-Seed 100 is optimized for all kinds of
concretes, especially for structural precast
elements where high early strength development
is a key success factor for the producer.
Master X-Seed 100 is a relevant alternative to
heat curing methods and the strong promotion of
hydration in particular supports the use of binders
with lower clinker content.
What are the benefits of Master X-Seed 100?
Master X-Seed 100 offers the following benefits:
- Early strength acceleration at low, ambient
- and heat curing temperatures
- Flexible adjustment of production capacities
- Increased production cycles (double, triple
- rotation)
- Better use of formwork by earlier demoulding
- Reduction / elimination of heat curing
- Reduced investment and running cost of
- curing
- Allows use of minimum required cement
- quantities
- Allows binder optimization by using lower
- grade, less clinker-containing cements or by
- increasing use of supplementary cementitious
- materials (Limestone, Fly Ash, Slag)
- Lower risk of delayed ettringite formation
- Reduced water absorption
- Improved concrete durability aspects
- Improved plant and product ECO-efficiency by
- reducing CO2 emissions
