CHRYSO®Air G500

Air entraining admixture

Description

CHRYSO®Air G500 is an air entraining agent which creates stable microscopic air bubbles in concrete and mortar.

CHRYSO®Air G500 effectively protects concrete from frost/thaw cycles and the action of defrosting salts due to the spreading of particularly small size of air bubbles entrained and stabilized.

Using CHRYSO®Air G500 prevents many compatibility problems between cement / sand / admixtures. Its highly effective action ensures its compatibility with all types of superplasticizers, and especially with CHRYSO®Optima and CHRYSO®Premia ranges.

Application areas

CHRYSO®Air G500 is recommended for all concrete and mortar mixes where low density and entrained air are required.

  • All cement types
  • Concrete exposed to freeze thaw
  • Extruded concrete
  • Dams
  • Marine construction
  • Civil Engineering
  • Reservoirs
  • Optimisation of coarse sand particle size distribution
  • Motorway slabs
  • Airport runways
  • etc

Benefits

CHRYSO®Air G500 creates a matrix of stable, evenly distributed air bubbles in both the fresh and hydrated concrete.

In fresh concrete, CHRYSO®Air G500 also has a plasticising effect. It limits the amount of segregation and reduces, or even eliminates, bleeding.
