Chryso®ProFilm

Evaporation Reducers for Fresh Concrete

Rapid evaporation of surface moisture from concrete can lead to map cracking and plastic shrinkage, potentially causing cracks that penetrate the full depth of a slab. These issues are common in hot, windy, or low-humidity conditions—such as heated indoor environments during cold weather.

Chryso®ProFilm is specifically designed to prevent plastic shrinkage and cracking without the addition of extra water. This water-based, mono-molecular film forms a protective layer over fresh concrete surfaces, effectively reducing moisture loss in rapid drying conditions without increasing bleed water.

How Chryso®ProFilm Works

By spraying Chryso®ProFilm onto fresh concrete, a continuous mono-molecular film is created. This film slows bleed water evaporation and remains effective as long as the concrete stays plastic. Unlike traditional water spraying methods, Chryso®ProFilm ensures consistent surface protection without risking weakening the concrete mix.

Chryso®ProFilm 18D

Chryso®ProFilm 18D is a water‑based, VOC‑compliant spray‑on evaporation reducer for freshly placed concrete. When applied to plastic concrete surfaces, it forms a continuous mono‑molecular film that limits surface moisture loss without interfering with the cementitious hydration process. The product improves finishing performance by extending the finishability window, reducing surface crusting, and enhancing overall surface quality. It does not affect concrete color and helps minimize plastic shrinkage cracking, map cracking, and surface defects caused by rapid evaporation, particularly under hot, windy, or low‑humidity conditions.
