Chryso®Optec EC-111

Efflorescence reduction agent

Description

Chryso®Optec EC‑111 is an integral waterproofing admixture designed to reduce efflorescence and improve surface appearance in concrete. By limiting capillary water movement within the concrete, it reduces the migration of soluble salts to the surface, helping concrete elements maintain a clean, uniform finish.

The product also improves concrete homogeneity and pigment dispersion, making it particularly suitable for architectural, coloured, and decorative concrete applications.

Application areas

Chryso®Optec EC‑111 is suitable for:

  • Concrete slabs
  • Interlocking paving stones
  • Kerbstones
  • Palisades
  • Masonry units
  • Architectural and decorative concrete elements

Chryso®Optec EC‑111 can be used with most types of cement.
For special cements, consultation with Chryso Technical Services is recommended.

Chryso®Optec EC‑111 must not be premixed with other admixtures.
All admixtures should be added separately to avoid interference with performance.
