CHRYSO® OPTIMA 1180

CHRYSO® Optima 1180 is a new generation superplasticiser, based on modified polycarboxylate. As a member of the Optima 1000 series of superplasticisers, increased consistence retention and low viscosity are key characteristics. This is particularly suited for extended transport and placement of concrete over large construction areas, long pumping distances, and precast facilities. CHRYSO® Optima 1180 enables very low W/C ratios, with excellent tolerance to water addition, to be produced in the concrete at all levels of consistency.

CHRYSO® OPTIMA 1300

CHRYSO® Optima 1300 is a new generation plasticiser based on modified polycarboxylate. Using the latest techniques in polycarboxylate technology, the admixture facilitates the production of low viscosity concrete with long workability retention, which is very much suited for the highest quality self -compacting concrete, and in the readymix concrete industry. CHRYSO® Optima 1300 can provide concretes at all levels of consistence with extended working time and still achieve a water/cement ratio reduction.  These characteristics make this product particularly suited for pumping concrete over long distances. CHRYSO® Optima 1300 is especially suited to onerous projects which may involve extended transport, handling and placement of concrete through several methods of conveyance to point of discharge. It will also provide excellent performance during periods of hot weather.
