Viscosity Modifying Agents

Viscosity Modifying Agents for Consistent Ready-Mix Concrete Performance

Viscosity Modifying Agents (VMAs) are advanced concrete admixtures developed to improve stability, cohesion, and workability in ready-mix concrete production. Products including the Chryso V-Mar range, Chryso® Concera SA 8501, and Chryso® EasyDrainS20 help ready-mix producers maintain consistent concrete performance throughout transportation, pumping, and placement. By reducing segregation and controlling bleeding, VMAs enable the production of highly workable, reliable concrete that arrives on site ready to perform.

Key Benefits

• Enhanced Transport Stability – Maintains mix homogeneity during transit, reducing segregation and aggregate settlement.
• Consistent Workability Retention – Supports reliable flow and placing characteristics from batching through to discharge.
• Improved Pumpability – Enhances cohesion and reduces variability during pumping operations.
• Reduced Bleeding & Segregation – Helps ensure uniform concrete quality, even in highly fluid mixes.
• Ideal for High-Performance Mixes – Supports SCC, low-cement, and high-slump concrete applications.
• Reliable Site Outcomes – Delivers greater consistency across varying distances, weather conditions, and placement methods.

With solutions designed for modern ready-mix production, VMAs help producers achieve dependable concrete quality, increased placement reliability, and consistently high-performing results.
