CHRYSO®Plast Omega 135

Benefits

• CHRYSO®Plast Omega 135 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 135 allows concrete to exhibit extended workability characteristics.
• CHRYSO®Plast Omega 135 is often used when problematic fine aggregates are components of a concrete mix.
• Using large quantities of crushed sand may cause the concrete to lack homogeneity and concrete typically requires sand with abundant fine particles – that is often difficult to obtain and very expensive.
• CHRYSO®Plast Omega 135 can minimise the costs of concrete as it can be used in formulations where less fines and a greater quantity of crushed sand is used – and still maintains a cohesive mix.
• When used to reduce the water content of a concrete mix (lower the w/b ratio) CHRYSO®Plast Omega 135 may potentially reduce the rate of bleeding.
• CHRYSO®Plast Omega 135 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 135 increases the durability of concrete, by reducing permeability. The air entraining property of CHRYSO®Plast Omega 135 enhances concrete’s durability by increasing its freeze/thaw resistance.
• CHRYSO®Plast Omega 135 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 135 may be used with in mixes extended with limestone and/or typically used SCMs – GGBS, GGCS, Fly Ash and Silica Fume.
• CHRYSO®Plast Omega 135 does not undermine the early age strength of concrete and in certain cases, may be used to improve it.
• Depending on the dosage, CHRYSO®Plast Omega 135 will cause a relative increase of mechanical strength after 24 hours.
