CHRYSO® Plast Omega 101 is classified as a water reducing plasticizer. The admixture thus induces the following major effects in a concrete mix:
Without affecting the consistence (workability), permits a reduction in the water content of a given concrete or
Without affecting the water content, increases the slump/flow or
Produces both of the above effects simultaneously.

CHRYSO®Plast Omega 101 is a multidose admixture, allowing a wide range of dosages to be applied, without any excessive retardation at the higher dosages.
The multi-dose characteristic of CHRYSO®Plast Omega 101 allows concrete to exhibit extended workability characteristics.
CHRYSO®Plast Omega 101 is often used when problematic fine aggregates are components of a concrete mix.
CHRYSO®Plast Omega 101 reduces the rate of bleeding in a concrete mix.
CHRYSO®Plast Omega 101 improves the cohesion and lowers the viscosity of a concrete mix. This results in an improved homogeneity, allowing for superior off-shutter finishes.
By reducing the need to add extra water, CHRYSO®Plast Omega 101 increases the durability of concrete.
The air entraining property of CHRYSO®Plast Omega 101 enhances concrete’s durability by increasing its freeze/thaw resistance.
CHRYSO®Plast Omega 101 is robust to differences in cement characteristics.
CHRYSO®Plast Omega 101 does not undermine the early age strength of concrete.
In common with all water reducing/plasticising admixtures, the use of CHRYSO®Plast Omega 101 reduces the overall cost of a cubic metre of concrete. This in turn, allows less cement to be used in order to achieve the same objective, resulting in a solution which is environmentally friendly.
