Chryso®Slump Minus

Viscosity Modifying Admixture

Description

Chryso®Slump Minus is a high-performance liquid admixture designed to enhance the rheological properties of concrete. This viscosity-modifying admixture significantly improves the stability and segregation resistance of various concrete mixes, including self-consolidating concrete (SCC), high-slump conventional mixes, and those containing manufactured or poorly graded aggregates.

Chryso®Slump Minus stabilizes the air void system within the concrete matrix, promoting enhanced durability. 

Chryso®Slump Minuss achieves these benefits without compromising workability, maintaining slump and flow characteristics essential for efficient placement and finishing. The result is a superior concrete product with enhanced surface quality, aesthetics, and plastic properties. 

Application areas

Chryso®Slump Minus is ideal for enhancing concrete performance in various scenarios, including:

  • Projects requiring faster consolidation: Reduces the time and effort needed for concrete consolidation, improving efficiency.
  • Concrete during transportation: Maintains consistency and workability, minimizing slump loss and segregation risks.
  • Low slump concrete: Improves flowability and aesthetics for easier placement and a smoother finish.
  • Concrete prone to segregation: Increases cohesiveness and stability to prevent separation of aggregates and paste.
  • Manufactured sand and gap-graded aggregates: Addresses challenges associated with these materials, improving workability and stability.
  • Inconsistent aggregate moisture: Compensates for fluctuations in moisture content, ensuring consistent concrete production.
  • Lean concrete mix designs (SCC): Enhances workability and cohesiveness for easier placement and self-consolidation.
  • Concrete with air migration issues: Stabilizes air voids, leading to a more uniform and stable mix.

Benefits

  • Enhanced Stability: Preserves the integrity of the concrete matrix, even under high-slump conditions.
  • Increased Cohesiveness: Optimizes the workability of both lean and harsh mix designs.
  • Reduced Consolidation Effort: Requires less energy and time for compaction due to improved workability.
  • Improved Aggregate Distribution: Ensures a homogeneous dispersion of aggregates throughout the mixture.
  • Reduced Segregation and Bleeding: Minimizes the separation of constituent materials, enhancing overall quality and durability.
  • Optimized Air Void Distribution: Enhances the durability and freeze-thaw resistance of the concrete.
  • Improved Surface Finishability: Facilitates achieving a smooth and uniform surface finish.
