Description

Chryso®Eclipse Floor is a liquid shrinkage‑reducing admixture designed for use in indoor slab‑on‑grade concrete construction. It reduces drying shrinkage and associated curling, enabling improved floor performance and extended joint spacing.

 

The product acts chemically to reduce the internal forces that cause shrinkage, without relying on expansive materials. It is particularly suited to applications where control of cracking, flatness, and long‑term durability is critical.

Application areas

Chryso®Eclipse Floor is suitable for:

  • Indoor slab‑on‑grade concrete
  • Industrial and commercial floors
  • Concrete where shrinkage control is critical
  • Applications not requiring air‑entrained concrete

Chryso®Eclipse Floor is compatible with:

  • Water reducers
  • Superplasticisers
  • Set retarders and accelerators
  • Silica fume admixtures
  • Corrosion inhibitors

Each admixture must be added separately.

Note:

  • The product acts as a strong air detrainer and is not suitable for air‑entrained concrete
  • Slight set retardation (typically <1 hour) may occur and may increase when used with other retarders

Benefits

  • Significantly reduces drying shrinkage
  • Minimises curling and cracking in floor slabs
  • Allows increased joint spacing (up to approx. 15 m depending on mix)
  • Improves floor flatness and long‑term durability
  • Supports low‑maintenance floor construction
  • Extends workability with minimal set retardation

Typical performance:

  • Up to 80% reduction in shrinkage at 28 days
  • Up to 50% reduction at 1 year or beyond

Packaging

  • Drum 205L
  • 1045L IBC
