Construction Chemicals, is set to showcase its latest innovations, Quad™ and Chryso®Convert C, at World of Concrete 2025 (Booth #S-11326). These advanced admixture solutions are at the forefront of Chryso’s upcoming Circular Economy Program.

Quad™ Solution: Enabling Circular Economy Practices

Quad™ is designed to optimize the use of challenging aggregates and enhance concrete performance, while supporting a circular economy approach. Key features include:

  • Circular Economy Benefits: Utilize locally sourced aggregates to minimize environmental impact and reduce production costs.
  • Enhanced Aggregate Utilization: Adapts to complex aggregates, such as harsh manufactured sands or those with lower gradation, ensuring high-performance concrete.
  • Cost Efficiency: Reduces procurement costs and carbon footprint by leveraging locally sourced aggregates and deconstruction site materials.

“Sourcing quality sand has become a major challenge for the concrete industry,” said Chryso North America Senior Director of Technical Services G. Terry Harris. “Our expanded Quad™ portfolio enables the use of lower-quality, locally sourced sands without compromising concrete performance, while reducing the concrete CO2 footprint.”

Chryso®Convert C: Revolutionizing Returned Concrete Management

Chryso®Convert C offers a simple, efficient and sustainable solution for managing returned plastic concrete:

  • Effortless Transformation: Converts leftover plastic concrete into a dry, hardened, reusable granular material through a fast, mixer-based process.
  • Cost Savings: Reduces waste disposal costs, while enabling the reuse of granular materials.
  • Sustainable Practices: Packaged in water-soluble bags, Chryso®Convert C simplifies operations and significantly minimizes waste.

“Chryso®Convert C empowers our customers to maximize resources and minimize waste, reinforcing our commitment to a sustainable future,” added Harris.

Pioneering the Circular Economy

The Quad™ and Chryso®Convert C solutions form the cornerstone of Chryso’s upcoming Circular Economy Program. This initiative expands on the company’s Curbing CO2 at the Source program, focusing on unlocking sustainability through:

  • Circular Tools for Success: Actionable insights through advanced metrics, workshops, webinars and co-creation opportunities in regional labs.
  • Innovation Partnerships: Pilot projects to test and refine new solutions.
  • Knowledge Sharing: Technical bulletins, case studies and a project profile library to showcase best practices.

Chryso’s Circular Economy Program is designed to help customers lead in sustainable construction practices, achieve operational efficiency and enhance performance with actionable insights and advanced metrics.
