Description
Chryso®Concera SA 8590 is a high‑efficiency polycarboxylate‑based superplasticiser developed for Control Flow Concrete, a highly flowable concrete produced using conventional mix designs. It provides exceptional workability retention, extreme fluidity, and resistance to segregation.
The admixture provides extended slump‑flow life, high responsiveness to minimal compaction energy, and improved cohesiveness across varying moisture conditions.
Application areas
- Control Flow Concrete
- Conventional mixes requiring improved workability
- High‑workability concrete with segregation resistance
- Concrete with untreated slump 50–125 mm prior to admixture addition
Benefits
Compared to conventional concrete
- High flowability with excellent stability
- Reduced need for vibration and easier finishing
- Enhanced segregation resistance
- Minimised blocking in congested reinforcement
- Faster construction due to quicker discharge and placement
- Lower pump pressures and reduced equipment wear
Compared to self-consolidating concrete (SCC)
- Lower material cost (conventional mix designs)
- Superior tolerance to moisture variation
- Reduced need for job‑site QC adjustments
General product benefits
- Cost‑effective production of high‑performance concrete
- Reliable slump‑flow consistency
- Improved cohesiveness with reduced bleeding
- Extended slump‑flow retention
- Improved air‑management control
- Faster and easier placement and finishing
- Can be used across a wide range of concrete types
