CHRYSO®Alpha CQ 55

High Range Water Reducing Admixture
for semi - dry concrete

Description

CHRYSO®Alpha CQ 55 is specifically formulated for semi dry concrete.

It is designed and developed for the production of concrete blocks and associated products This innovative solution improves the quality and the optimization of industrial process.

CHRYSO®Alpha CQ 55 is a powerful admixture which allows:

  • Strength enhancement allowing mix cost optimization.
  • Improved surface finish giving visual improvement to quality.
  • Reduced vibration cycle times optimizing production capacity.
  • Reduces potential breakages and rejects within the production process.

Application areas

CHRYSO®Alpha CQ 55 is recommended for all semi dry concrete mixes where low water content, improved cementitious material performance (more MPa/kg), accelerated set times, reduced curing costs and high early strength characteristics are desirable.

CHRYSO®Alpha CQ 55 can be adapted for any Manufactured Concrete Products (MCP) requiring increased early compressive or flexural strengths without detriment to ultimate strengths.

  • All cement types
  • Drycast concrete, coloured or not
  • Precast elements (precast stones, decorative slabs…)
  • Machine manufactured and drycast
  • All kinds of immediate mould-release elements
  • Paving blocks
  • High early age strength
  • etc
  • Most semi-dry concrete applications

Benefits

  • CHRYSO®Alpha CQ 55 aids in cement dispersion, therefore improving cement hydration.
  • Proven to improve placement of semi-dry concrete into moulds.
  • CHRYSO®Alpha CQ 55 is an ideal solution to improve consistency of the manufacturing process of blocks and associated products, also helping to reduce cycle times These advantages save time without affecting quality in the production of these elements.
  • Improves the green strength, reducing potential deformations and breakage of the products before the curing process is completed.
  • CHRYSO®Alpha CQ 55 has been specifically designed to cope with variations in moisture content during the production process.
