Description
CHRYSO®Foam CQ 5 is a chemical blend of organic compounds intended to assist the generation of stabilized air-entrainment during the production of low density concrete and mortar systems as light weight and foam concrete.
CHRYSO®Foam CQ 5 is specifically intended for the production of low density mortar systems such as perlite and vermiculite.
CHRYSO®Foam CQ 5 can also be used as a normal air-entraining agent for conventional concrete and mortars.
Application areas
CHRYSO®Foam CQ 5 is recommended for all concrete and mortar mixes where low density and entrained air is 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®Foam CQ 5 does not require mechanical mixing to entrain air, however, an approved foam generator is required to produce low density and foam concrete.
- It reduces density up to 70% mass reduction depending on the system used and mixing equipment employed.
- Improves workability – the micro air bubbles entrained act as ball bearings, lubricating the mix.
