Chryso®Mortair

Air entraining admixture

Description

Chryso® Mortair is a liquid air‑entraining admixture designed for the production of air‑entrained mortars. It is typically used alongside Chryso® Mortard 79/5 mortar retarder to support the efficient manufacture of ready‑to‑use mortars compliant with EN 998.

The product creates a stable and uniform air‑void system within the mortar matrix, ensuring consistent air content across a wide dosage range. This improves workability, reduces bleeding, and ensures predictable mortar performance throughout its usable life.

Chryso® Mortair is suitable for factory-produced and ready-to-use mortars where controlled air entrainment and consistent performance are required. It is compatible with a range of cement types, including Portland cement and blends containing fly ash or GGBS, making it a versatile solution for mortar production.

Application areas

Chryso®Mortair is suitable for:

  • Factory‑produced mortars
  • Ready‑to‑use mortars
  • Mortars requiring controlled air entrainment and consistent workability

Chryso®Mortair must not be premixed with other admixtures.

  • Each admixture must be added separately
  • The presence of other chemicals may affect performance

Chryso®Mortair can be used with:

  • Most types of Portland cement
  • Mortars containing fly ash
  • Mortars containing ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS)

For special cements, consultation with Chryso Technical Services is recommended.
