Innovativer beschleuniger für fertigteilbeton einsatz von kristallkeimen zur meisterung der aktuellen herausforderungen in der fertigteilindustrie

A brand-new technology called Crystal Speed Hardening has been developed and recently launched by BASF Construction Chemicals. In fact, the new product boosts the development of early strength in a way that was never achieved before by modifying the kinetics of cement hydration. Precast producers can benefit from this product in a variety of ways. In this article, the product X-SEED® 100 and the Crystal Speed Hardening technology will be presented, including its mechanism of action and the performance tests carried out under different conditions, in order to highlight the potential applications for precast producers and the benefits they enjoy as a result.
