Chryso®Mortard DR

Set retarding admixture

Description

Chryso®Mortard DR is a powdered mortar retarder developed for use in dry silo and factory‑produced mortars. It enables controlled retardation of cement hydration, allowing mortars to retain workability for extended periods to suit site and production requirements.

The product is specifically formulated for cement‑lime‑sand mortars, but is equally effective in cement‑sand mortars. Chryso®Mortard DR is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure consistent performance and conforms to EN 934‑3.
