Our Concrete Solutions

 

IMPROVE FRESH CONCRETE PERFORMANCE

 

    • Extend concrete workability
      CHRYSO provides solutions, to extend the workability of concrete with limited impact on early strengths. CHRYSO developed very high-range water reducing superplasticizers to deliver better strength and an improved finish of the fresh concrete
    • Concrete pumping optimization
      To answer new construction challenges as high-rise buildings or underground structures, CHRYSO deploys news solutions to increase long distance and vertical concrete pumping.
    • Improve concrete placeability and finishability

CHRYSO combines mix design know-how and new concrete solutions to deliver exceptional fluidity, a rapid filling of complex moulds and an excellent surface finish quality.

OUR SOLUTIONS

Water reducer superplasticizers deliver better strength and an improved appearance of the fresh concrete.

A flexible dosage range that allows for the production of cohesive concrete from low to high slump.

To extend the workability of concrete with limited impact on early strengths

Precast applications: exceptional fluidity, a rapid filling of complex moulds and an excellent surface finish quality

Dedicated to tunnels segments: improved placeability, superior surface concrete finish and high early compressive strengths

IMPROVE HARDENED CONCRETE PERFORMANCE

 

  • High Strength Concrete
    CHRYSO deploys solutions for High Strength Concrete (HSC), dedicated to project such as highway engineering structures, high rise buildings, tunnelling and Hydraulic structures.

  • Robustness and durability
    Long term durability is a key challenge in our construction environment and CHRYSO has developed a full range of services and technologies to increase the service life of large infrastructures and buildings projects.

  • Ultra High-Performance Concrete
    Rheology and performance characteristics of Ultra High-Performance Concrete makes it a very unique material. CHRYSO has developed a unique comprehensive Know-How regarding Fibre-Reinforced Concrete (FRC) and Ultra High-Performance Concrete (UHPC).

  • Aesthetics and Durable concrete
    In addition to its structural properties, concrete aesthetic is a key factor in the success of your project. CHRYSO propose a wide range of finishes, colours and surface treatments that will enhance the aesthetic quality and durability of your buildings and structures.
OUR SOLUTIONS

Superplasticizers’ range allows cohesive, low viscous concrete,with long workability retention

Superplasticisers especially designed for precast concrete which require high short-term strength.

Shrinkage inhibitor

Allows effective crack control in concrete

Release agents that deliver easy demoulding  of concrete during delayed or immediate demoulding on all types of moulds and allow high finish quality.

Comprehensive range of decorative solutions for new projects or renovations, for residential, tertiary or urban developments.

DECREASE MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION COSTS

 

  • Tailor made Solutions
    CHRYSO tailor made services and solutions allow concrete producers to optimize their cost/performance ratio and increase their productivity.
    Innovative technologies address our customers’ specific challenges such as outstanding pumpability needs, ultra-high early strength or reduced carbon footprint.

 

  • Materials optimization
    Challenging aggregates and new cementitious materials require dedicated chemical solutions.
    CHRYSO has developed dedicated product ranges allowing concrete producers to deliver consistent, reliable and cost-efficient concrete.
OUR SOLUTIONS

Cost/performance ratio optimization: slump retention, low viscosity and long distance pumping performances

Dedicated range to significantly drive down sand procurement costs thanks to local resources.

This range allows a fast setting time of the concrete and a consistent quality of production

Acceleration system for precast concrete

Improved concrete rheology over a broad range of aggregates

Hardening accelerating admixture

ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT OPTIMIZATION

 

  • Extend materials resources
    CHRYSO offers solutions to allow the use of a wider range of sands, including challenging aggregates which improve the use of local resources and reduce carbon footprint.
  • Low-carbon footprint concrete solutions
    Our technologies contribute to the protection of the environment by allowing a reduction of Portland cement content while maintaining or improving concrete performances.
    CHRYSO constantly develops new admixture solutions adapted to the latest low carbon binder solutions.
    Dedicated products and services also address sustainability through concrete recycling and waste reduction
  • Maturometry: Concrete monitoring solutions
    CHRYSO offers real-time concrete monitoring solution to control concrete maturity, predict concrete strength and accelerate jobsite completion.
OUR SOLUTIONS

Allows for local aggregates sourcing with a limited CO2 transportation impact.

Innovative service for real-time and remote concrete maturity monitoring, contributes to reduce energy consumption and thus CO2 emissions

Enhancer for pervious concrete

Enables extensive use of SCM whether in concrete or in cement, without compromising on materials performance

CHRYSO Concrete technologies

Our Technologies provide value creation in construction ecosystem

CLEAR® TECHNOLOGY
Specifically targets excess of fines and swelling clay problematics, by helping to disperse the binders and reduce viscosity to improve placeability & finishability

GRAFT TECHNOLOGY
Specifically targets lack of fines and compacity problematics, by enhancing concrete cohesiveness and finishability.
