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 It 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.

Specialty Products

Chryso®ProFilm 19

Chryso®ProFilm 19 is a water-based, VOC-compliant spray-on liquid evaporation reducer and finishing aid for application over fresh concrete surfaces. It retards the loss of surface moisture without affecting the cement hydration process by forming a continuous  mono-molecular film over the concrete surface. Designed to enhance the finishing characteristics of concrete flatwork, it will not affect the concrete’s color.
