Chryso®WRDA 17

Water reducing Plasticizing admixture

Description

Chryso®WRDA 17 is a liquid water‑reducing admixture developed for use in a wide range of ready‑mixed concrete applications under all seasonal conditions. It acts by adsorption on cement particles, producing a powerful deflocculating effect that improves concrete workability and performance.

Through effective water reduction, Chryso®WRDA 17 can be used to increase compressive strength or to reduce cement content, improving mix economics. The product also contributes to reduced concrete permeability. It is manufactured under controlled conditions to ensure consistent quality and conforms to EN 934‑2.

Application areas

Chryso®WRDA 17 is suitable for:

  • Ready‑mix concrete
  • General construction concrete
  • Applications requiring improved workability and durability

The product is compatible with most Portland cements and is effective in concretes containing fly ash or ground granulated blastfurnace slag (GGBS).

Chryso®WRDA 17 is compatible with Chryso admixtures commonly used in concrete production.

  • Each admixture must be added separately
  • The presence of other chemical admixtures may influence performance

Consult Chryso Technical Services when using combined admixture systems.
