Comprehensive expertise from our laboratories to our customers’ sites

This laboratory is responsible for new product formulation and evaluation, existing product optimisation and product comparisons.

This laboratory assists in ensuring that all locally produced products consistently meet our quality control parameters.

In most cases, a chemical evaluation of a product gives limited perspective of the product’s capabilities. The concrete laboratory therefore carries out a complementary evaluation of the product in question. This is done by doing a physical concrete test in order to evaluate several important physical properties imparted by the product on the concrete. The concrete laboratory’s prime function is to give technical support to customers through concrete characterization (evaluation of cement, extenders, sands, admixtures and their effect on concrete) and creating mix designs for customers.

This is the most recent addition to the Jet Park laboratories. Furnished with ultra-modern equipment, the laboratory will be able to independently test cement samples locally. This will assist in creating new product formulations as well as tailor-made solutions to match specific applications or customer requirements. It will also be able to further assist our customers in optimising concrete mix designs.

Works for Chryso’s Concrete Aesthetics division with regard to concrete pigments, the laboratory houses sophisticated equipment like a Colourimeter that measures the colour strength of pigmentation quantitatively. The colour laboratory helps to provide specifications to colour-match available concrete masonry production lines at competitive rates.

Located in our Cape Town, Port Elizabeth and Kwa-Zulu Natal branches the satellite laboratories will ensure that customers receive technical assistance rapidly, whilst freeing up the R&D and concrete laboratories in Jet Park to do a greater amount of developmental work.
