CHRYSO®Optima S558HY(Emx)

High range water reducing Super plasticizing admixture

Description

CHRYSO® Optima S558HY(Emx) 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. CHRYSO® Optima S558HY(Emx) is especially adapted for Ready Mix Concrete and flow concrete which improves early and later strengths.

  • 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 S558HY(Emx) 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. High water reduction minimizes shrinkage crack to make 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 reduction in cement content, can be achieved.
