CHRYSO®Plast Omega 103

Benefits

• CHRYSO®Plast Omega 103 is a multi-dose 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 103 allows concrete to exhibit extended workability characteristics.
• CHRYSO®Plast Omega 103 is often used when problematic fine aggregates are components of a concrete mix.
• When used to reduce the water content of a concrete mix (lower the w/b ratio) CHRYSO®Plast Omega 103 reduces the rate of bleeding.
• CHRYSO®Plast Omega 103 improves the cohesion and lowers the viscosity of a concrete mix. This results in an improved homogeneity and compaction, allowing for superior off-shutter finishes.
• By reducing the need to add extra water, CHRYSO®Plast Omega 103 increases the durability of concrete, by reducing permeability.
• CHRYSO®Plast Omega 103 is robust to differences in cement characteristics. Based on aesthetic requirements, its suitability for use with white cement, should be ascertained prior to use.
• CHRYSO®Plast Omega 103 may be used in mixes extended with limestone and/or typically used SCMs – GGBS, GGCS, Fly Ash and Silica Fume.
• CHRYSO®Plast Omega 103 does not undermine the early age strength of concrete and in certain cases, may be used to improve it.
• In common will all water reducing/plasticizing admixtures, the use of CHRYSO®Plast Omega 103 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.
