CHRYSO® Optima K7314

High range water reducing Super plasticizing admixture

Description

CHRYSO®Optima K7314 is a new generation superplasticizer based on POLYCARBOXYLIC ETHER. It allows concrete to achieve targeted workability, while reducing water / cement ratio. It is developed to maintain fresh concrete workability without compromising setting time. Especially adapted for Ready Mix Concrete and fluid concrete which require high short and long term strengths.

Domains of application

  • All cement and cementitious types 
  • Pumped concrete
  • SCC Concrete 
  • Workability retention
  • Ready mix concrete 
  • Concrete for highly reinforced structures
  • High performance concrete 

Benefits

CHRYSO®Optima K7314 enables the concrete manufacturer to produce cohesive, low viscous concrete with long workability retention. Thereby green concrete can be hauled for longer distances and still be placed conveniently around congested reinforcement. Reduces thixotropy of the mix without risk of segregation. High water reduction minimizes shrinkage or cracking yielding better surface finish.  For a given concrete mix, keeping the cement consumption and workability constant, substantial reduction in the amount of mixing water can be achieved, to produce concrete of high compressive strength. Alternatively, for the same concrete mix, keeping everything else constant, a definite economy in cement content, can be achieved.
