Description

Chryso®Serenis is a ready‑to‑use shrinkage‑reducing admixture designed for concrete and mortar. It helps minimise both early‑age and long‑term shrinkage, improving dimensional stability and reducing the risk of cracking associated with drying and autogenous shrinkage.

Unlike admixtures that primarily influence workability, Chryso®Serenis works by reducing capillary tension within the cement matrix, targeting one of the main causes of shrinkage. The product does not alter water demand, water/cement ratio, or concrete flow characteristics, helping maintain consistent mix design performance.

Application areas

Chryso®Serenis is suitable for:

  • Ready‑mix concrete
  • Precast concrete
  • Industrial floor slabs
  • Mortar applications requiring shrinkage reduction

Chryso®Serenis is compatible with:

  • New‑generation superplasticisers
  • Traditional plasticisers
  • Traditional superplasticisers

This makes it suitable for a wide range of concrete and mortar formulations.
