Description
Chryso®Daracem 216 is a high‑efficiency mid‑ to high‑range plasticising admixture specifically developed for ready‑mixed concrete. It provides water reductions of between 15–25% or can be used to increase concrete workability across a wide range of mix designs, resulting in improved plastic and hardened concrete properties.
Based on modified synthetic carboxylated polymers, Chryso®Daracem 216 also improves concrete cohesion, making it particularly beneficial for difficult, congested, or inaccessible pours. The product conforms to EN 934‑2 and is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure consistent performance.
Application areas
Chryso®Daracem 216 is suitable for:
- Ready‑mix concrete
- Pumped concrete
- High‑workability concrete
- Congested reinforcement applications
