Chryso®Concera

Enhanced movement and finishing

Increase Productivity with Chryso®Concera

From drycast to SCC mixes, Chryso®Concera® can increase productivity, reduce costs, enhance workability and help achieve sustainability goals. This versatile, segregation-resistant concrete consistently flows and takes less labor to place and finish, compared to conventional concrete.

Chryso®Concera enhances your concrete mixes, helping your job progress more smoothly in any application.

With Chryso®Concera, you can develop traditional concrete mixes that reduce pump pressures, consolidate faster and finish easier. You can make control flow concrete for superior movement and placement. Or you can use versatile Chryso®Concera products to gain better closing and screeding surfaces for low-slump applications, like hand-applied curbs and machine-placed barrier walls.

Contractors: Accelerate Your Project

  • Accelerate project completion with concrete that’s easy to place and finish.
  • Improve safety by reducing the physical stress on workers and decreasing the vibration needed for concrete placement.
  • Use durable, high-quality concrete that builds customer trust.
  • Speed placement of low slump concrete applications such as machine barrier wall or hand curbs.
High Range Water Reducers

Chryso®Concera SA8080

Chryso®Concera SA8080 is a high-range water-reducing admixture designed to improve concrete flowability, strength development, and durability. It is ideal for dry-cast, low-slump, and controlled flow concrete applications requiring high slump retention and resistance to segregation. This product features a unique combination of polycarboxylate dispersants and rheology modifiers, making it well-suited for use with harsh aggregates and variable jobsite conditions.   Meets or exceeds the requirements of ASTM C494 Type A & F

Versatile Production Applications

  • Dry-cast, zero slump and low slump concrete that slides and compacts fast and efficiently. This improves cycle times and feed rates of curbing, barrier wall, pipe machines and hollow-core.
  • Conventional 3-8” (75 to 200mm) concrete with better movement under energy thereby allowing concrete to be floated and finished faster and easier.
  • Concrete with extremely high levels of workability without segregation typically ranging from 18-22” (460 to 560 mm), yet use conventional proportioned 3000-5000 psi (20-35 MPa) mixes.
  • Mixes that will pump, place and finish well using reduced cementitious and/or local materials like manufactured sands or recycled concrete.

 

Benefits of Using Chryso®Concera

Enhanced Finishability

the enhanced finishability and movement under energy creates easier placement under all slump conditions, leading to reduced labor and wear on workers

Better Pumpability

better pumpability speeds the placement process and reduces wear on the pump truck

Improved Strength

improved finishability and strengths allow for the reduction of cement and increased use of local manufactured sands resulting in the potential for co2 reduction

Faster Cycle Times

faster cycle times improve equipment efficiencies in curb and barrier wall as well as drycast
