Chryso®Alpha 20

Dry cast process performance enhancer

Description

Chryso®Alpha 20 is a new‑generation process aid developed for dry cast concrete production. Its molecular structure has been specifically designed to improve compaction, strength development, and surface finish in concrete block paving and other dry cast concrete products.

Through its dispersing and compaction properties, Chryso®Alpha 20 enhances the mechanical characteristics of dry cast concrete. The product also has potential waterproofing properties, helping to reduce capillary absorption and efflorescence while improving production efficiency.
