CHRYSO®Foam CQ 5

Foaming agent

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.

Packaging

  • 210 L drum
  • IBC 1000L
