A New way to Process Cement Reactivity

CHRYSO®ICARE is a new patented innovation that empowers the reactivity of cement by providing a synergy effect between chemical and mechanical activation in order to significantly reduce the clinker factor and therefore cement’s CO2 footprint.

It is a disruptive technology developed to provide extra-activation to cements manufactured from challenging process configurations where the performance of conventional strength enhancers is limited.

CHRYSO®ICARE enables to maximize the activator content without overfluidifying the cement nor increase the length of stay in the mill to better the fineness.

CHRYSO®ICARE Technology is available in 2 strength enhancer ranges to overtake process limitations in ball mill processes and Vertical Roller Mills:

  • CHRYSO®ICARE CP for challenging grinding processes
  • CHRYSO®ICARE VRM and Vertical Roller Mills

Innovative cement additives for CO2 reduction

CHRYSO®ICARE patented technology has been developed to support the Cement industry in lowering cement carbon footprint.
CHRYSO®ICARE strength enhancers enable to achieve unequalled performance:

  • Cement extra activation at all ages
  • Improved cement transport properties
  • Energy & production cost savings
  • Reduction of the clinker-to-cement ratio and CO2 emissions

CHRYSO®ICARE VRM

CHRYSO®ICARE VRM allows to activate key process levers to boost cement strength enhancement by a better a control of cement quality and by improving cement reactivity.

Especially designed for Vertical Roller Mills, CHRYSO®ICARE VRM additive range allows to achieve higher cement compressive strengths by overtaking process limitations:

  • Optimization of mill stability by reducing ΔP and vibrations in the process.
  • Improvement of cement reactivity by reducing water injection.
  • Overall increase of cement compressive strengths at all ages to significantly reduce clinker factor.

CHRYSO®ICARE CP

CHRYSO®ICARE CP overtakes process limitations to reach full cement activation potential by a control of cement powder transport properties, by the reduction of filter saturation issues and the risk of flushing the mill, while ensuring an higher control of cement quality:

  • Improvement of your cement fineness and particle size distribution by increasing the process efficiency.
  • High increase of productivity by keeping control on cement fluidity.
  • Reduction of your production and energy costs at equal or better cement overall performance.

ACTIVATION OF SLAG BLENDED CEMENTS BY AMINES

Cements containing blast furnace slags such as CEM III cements are increasingly used in both precast and ready-mixed concrete to improve the environmental footprint. However, the replacement of clinker by slag at a content varying between 35 and 95 wt% leads to a significant slow-down of cement hydration and consequently to a loss of early…
