CHRYSO CEMENT ADDITIVES improve cement performance, reduce energy & production costs and leverage CO2 emissions reduction. Because each cement plant has its own challenges and requirements, CHRYSO has developed a strong expertise in the cement industry to provide customers with specific and high-level support and services on field.

KEY CHALLENGES FOR CEMENT MANUFACTURERS

CO2 emission reduction

Clinker factor reduction

Energy savings

Cement performance

Chromium VI reduction

Our Cement Additives

Designed to provide innovative solutions to tackle increasing environmental and technical challenges.

STRENGTH ENHANCERS

High added-value solutions developed according to local standard and requirements.

  • Higher cement performance
    Achieve higher compressive strengths at all ages.
    Leverage clinker factor reduction with no compromise on cement final performance.
  • Clinker factor reduction
    Increase the content of Supplementary Cementitious Material in cement to achieve higher energy and production costs reduction.
    Extend the use of locally available mineral additions.
  • Improved cement carbon footprint
    Leverage clinker factor reduction to achieve substancial enery savings and CO2 emission reduction.
OUR SOLUTIONS

New patent-pending solution to reach unequalled cement performance in specific process configurations: CHRYSO®ICARE VRM and CHRYSO®ICARE CP (Challenging Processes including ball mills).

Early ages and 28 days strength enhancer for higher clinker factor reduction in blended cements.

Strength enhancers designed according to cement strength and grinding productivity requirements.

CEMENT GRINDING AIDS

Cost-effective solutions developed considering process and materials specificities:

  • Process efficiency
    Increase mill output at same cement composition and fineness.
    Reduce energy and production costs.
  • Improved cement quality

    Improve cement fineness, thus cement reactivity.
    Leverage cement powder transport properties by improving cement flowability, thus reducing Pack Set Index (PSI).

OUR SOLUTIONS

Grinding aids designed for ball mill process.

Grinding aids designed to improve Vertical Roller Mills stability and to reduce water injection into the process.

CHROMIUM VI REDUCTION

CHRYSO®Reductis 50 is a CHRYSO patented solution.

  • Durable Chromium VI content reduction
    CHRYSO®Reductis 50 reduces significantly the Hexavalent Chromium content in cement even at low dosages.
    It allows to maintain durably the Chromium VI content below 2 ppm to be in line with the 2003/53/CE European standards.
  • Limited installation and maintenace costs

    CHRYSO®Reductis 50 is a liquid solution easy to introduce through a standard dosing equipment.
    It also limits maintenance costs.

OUR SOLUTIONS

A CHRYSO® patented technology.

TECHNICAL ADDITIVES

  • Technical grinding aids
    Increase raw meal mill output.
    Leverage energy and production costs of slag grinding workshop.
    Calcium carbonate application: increase mill outpout limiting coating phenomenon in the process.
OUR SOLUTIONS

Grindind aids for raw meal.

Grindind aids for Ground Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag.

Calcium carbonate grinding aids compliant with food contact requirements.

Air entraining solutions for masonry cements.
