CHRYSO®Optima CQ 257

New Generation, high range water reducing/ superplasticizing admixture

Description

CHRYSO®Optima CQ 257 is a new generation superplasticizer high range water reducer, based on patented innovative polymers.

CHRYSO®Optima CQ 257 is especially recommended for self compacting or high flow concrete requiring high early age and long term strengths, whilst maintaining the workability.

CHRYSO®Optima CQ 257 enables the production of concrete with very low w/c ratios.

When used in low water/cement ratio or high fines content concrete such as Self Compacting Concrete (SCC), CHRYSO®Optima CQ 257 allows for outstanding placeability and finishing properties.

Application areas

CHRYSO®Optima CQ 257 is recommended for all concrete mixes where low water content, improved cementitious material performance , high workability retention and very high strengths characteristics are desirable.

  • All cement types
  • Precast
  • Hot weather concreting
  • Self consolidating concrete
  • Pumped concrete
  • Extended workability retention
  • High early and ultimate strength
  • Ready-mix concrete
  • Concrete for highly reinforced structures
  • High performance Concrete – Very High Performance Concrete – Ultra High Performance Concrete
  • Use of Supplementary Cementitious Materials
  • etc

Benefits

  • Enhances the workability retention of concrete in hot climates.
  • Maintain fresh concrete workability without compromising the setting time.
  • Thanks to its specifically designed molecular structure, CHRYSO®Optima CQ 257 enables the concrete manufacturer to produce cohesive, low viscous SCC with long workability retention.
  • The dispersion properties of CHRYSO®Optima CQ 257 allow the user to optimise the cement content when a specified mechanical strength is required.
