Drycast solutions: maximize productivity, quality, and aesthetics

Achieve faster production cycles with our advanced admixture solutions. Designed to tackle your production challenges, they ensure efficiency, quality, and sustainability in precast concrete manufacturing.

Chryso®Alpha is a wide range of plasticizers and densifiers designed to meet the diverse needs of your drycast applications:

  • Optimal and homogeneous placement in the molds or forms during pre-fabrication.
  • Improves compaction ability and optimizes strength and durability.
  • Reduces the energy required for vibration, improves the distribution of reinforcement and prevents the formation of voids in the concrete.

 

Chryso®Optec range of admixtures can be combined with the Alpha range, with their main role being to enhance aesthetics and provide specific properties to concrete.

This range enables you to achieve the highest concrete quality:

  • Controlling efflorescence
  • Enhancing color through better dispersion of pigments

Chryso accelerators: enhancing concrete setting

Chryso accelerators counteract the retarding effects of supplementary cementitious materials, such as fly ash and slag. They also accelerate concrete setting in cooler temperatures, helping to keep projects on schedule when time is critical.

Chryso®Daraset  and Chryso®Daraccel promote the setting and hardening of concrete. Their formulation activates the cement hydration kinetics, especially at low temperatures.

  • Faster setting and increased robustness
  • Accelerated development of mechanical strength
  • Higher productivity by increasing the number of mold rotations
  • Maintains the same manufacturing process when using low-carbon binders

Chryso release agents: achieving aesthetic and durable finishes

Chryso®Dem  release agents allow the production of concrete with aesthetic and durable surface finishes while offering products with an optimized HSE profile.

Chryso®Dem release agents facilitate the demolding of wetcast or drycast concrete from all types of molds, while improving surface finish quality and addressing precast challenges:

  • Enhanced surface quality
  • Mold protection for reduced maintenance costs
  • User and environmental safety
  • Optimized consumption for cost control

Our range of released agents  is declined oil-based and water emulsion products.

Using components from the industry (rapeseed, sunflower, etc.), vegetable-based release agents offer a good HSE profile, high coating quality, and easy spraying. Chryso provides a complete range of release agents tailored to various applications.

Chryso®Evia and Chryso®Ekla are vegetable-based release agents that offer a superior HSE profile, excellent surface finish quality, and easy application.

 

Using components from a selection of refined mineral components, synthetic-based release agents have the characteristics of a wide range of applications, resistance to steaming, and high coating quality. Chryso release agents are particularly differentiated by their robustness under all application conditions.

Chryso®Clarol and Chryso®Aquarol are synthetic release agents based on oils and emulsions sourced from synthesized molecules. The main characteristics of these demolding agents are wide applicability, good resistance to heat curing, and good surface finish quality.

Composed mainly of new or recycled mineral elements, mineral release agents allow cost optimization and can be applied to many substrates.

Chryso®Elio and Chryso®Aqua are mineral-based oils sourced from hydrocarbons and recycling. They optimize costs and are applicable to many types of molds.
