MOSCOW (MRC) -- BASF’s Master Builders Solutions experts will be presenting their innovative solutions in the concrete admixtures segment at this year’s BetonTage exhibition, held from 19 through 21 February 2019 in Neu-Ulm. At the exhibition booth 54/55, visitors will have the opportunity to learn about products such as MasterEase, MasterFiber, Master X-Seed and MasterFinish and their benefits for use in concrete production, said BASF.
"Concrete admixtures can make a substantial contribution toward meeting the challenges currently faced by the construction sector: From a commitment to sustainable construction, to tighter time schedules, to an increasing cost pressure", says Herwig Heegewaldt, responsible for the concrete admixtures business of Master Builders Solutions in Germany, Austria and Switzerland. “Using the right concrete admixtures helps concrete producers as well as building owners to reduce expenses and emissions, save time, preserve their machinery and reduce the manpower required at construction sites."
BASF’ s construction branch provides custom-tailored solutions for all construction-site requirements and, with its global team of researchers, is constantly working on the development of innovative products. One of the results of this was Master Builders Solutions’ 2018 launch of the innovative MasterFinish CLN 689 formwork cleaner, ensuring the production of spotless fairfaced concrete.
"MasterFinish CLN 689 leaves a permanent micro-layer on the surface. On steel formwork, this layer provides high-level rust protection while simultaneously forming an excellent base for the subsequent application of the release agent”, explains Cengizhan Zor, application engineer for form release agents in Germany, Austria and Switzerland at BASF. Combined with release-agent emulsions from Master Builders Solutions, MasterFinish provides major advantages in terms of environmental protection and applicator safety: Based on renewable raw materials, the cleaner is exempt from labeling and virtually odorless. In addition to formwork cleaners, the MasterFinish range also comprises novel release agents and products for machine care and protection. At precast-concrete plants, MasterFinish facilitates easy formwork removal and prevents rust formation on formwork surfaces. Ready-mixed concrete manufacturers benefit from MasterFinish products for the cleaning, care and preservation of concrete vehicles, jobsite machinery and mixing equipment.
