Strength Enhancing Admixtures

Maintain concrete performance while reducing cement content

Chryso Strength Enhancing Admixtures enable further optimization of concrete mix designs, leading to significant cost savings and reductions in CO2 emissions.

• Increase Strengths at All Ages: These admixtures enhance the strength of concrete at various stages of curing. By accelerating the curing process, they help achieve early strength gains, which is crucial for fast-track construction projects. Additionally, they compensate for strength losses that may occur when using less reactive cements, such as weather-resistant cements or limestone-based cements.
• Curing Operations Acceleration: By speeding up the curing process, these admixtures allow for quicker turnaround times on construction sites, enabling faster project completion and reducing downtime.
• Cement Content Reduction: Our strength enhancing admixtures enable the reduction of cement content in concrete mixes. This not only lowers material costs but also decreases the carbon footprint associated with cement production.
• Use of Supplementary Cementitious Materials (SCM): These admixtures facilitate the use of cost-effective and carbon-efficient supplementary cementitious materials (SCM), such as fly ash, slag, and silica fume. Incorporating SCMs into concrete mixes enhances durability and sustainability while maintaining or improving performance.
• Environmental Impact: By optimizing concrete mix designs and reducing the reliance on traditional cement, our strength enhancing admixtures contribute to more sustainable construction practices, helping to lower overall CO2 emissions.
