With the Chryso®Deco Lav P range , Chryso offers aqueous phase deactivators with 8 different attack strengths.
From low to high attack strength, this proven solution adapts to all aggregate granulometries and thus meets different aesthetic expectations.

CHRYSO®Deco Lav P100

CHRYSO®Deco Lav P is a range of 9 “positive” aqueous surface retarders. CHRYSO®Deco Lav P enables to delay the hydration of cement on the exposed surfaces of concrete. After cleaning the treated surface, the aggregate in the concrete is exposed. No solvents are used in the formulation of CHRYSO®Deco Lav P, making it easier to use: it is not necessary to protect any surrounding area, except for painted façades and porous surfaces. The spraying equipment can be rinsed with water.

Construction site reference

The new Montpellier-Sud-de-France station supports the development of high-speed transport in the region. Journeys between Paris and Montpellier are reduced by 20 minutes, so the two cities are connected in 3 hours.
On the outside floor of the station, 1,000m² are in deactivated concrete, obtained thanks to the use of the CHRYSO®Deco Lav P03 solution .
