CHRYSO®Equalis

Setting Retarders and Rheology Expanders

Advanced setting retarders and rheology expanders for high-performance concrete

The CHRYSO® Equalis range features next-generation setting retarders and rheology expanders, designed to optimise the performance of concrete and mortar. These admixtures extend workability, regulate heat development during cement hydration, and enhance concrete flow, ensuring consistent quality even under challenging site conditions.

By improving both workability and rheology, CHRYSO® Equalis supports reliable placement over long periods, helping contractors maintain concrete performance during extended transport, complex pours, or hot climates. At the same time, the admixtures manage heat generated during hydration, reducing the risk of thermal cracking and contributing to durable, high-quality finishes.

Furthermore, the range is easy to use, with ready-to-use liquid formulations that integrate seamlessly into existing mix designs. Its adaptable performance makes CHRYSO® Equalis suitable for demanding environments, remote sites, and projects where precise control over concrete properties is essential.

Key Benefits of CHRYSO®Equalis

Engineered for versatility and performance, the CHRYSO® Equalis range enhances both concrete quality and construction efficiency:

  • Extended Workability: Maintains consistent concrete performance over long periods, ideal for extended transport or complex placements.

  • Heat Regulation: Controls temperature rise from cement hydration, reducing the risk of thermal cracking.

  • Improved Rheology: Enhances concrete flow and stability, ensuring uniform texture and finish.

  • Adaptability: Performs reliably in hot climates, remote sites, and demanding construction environments.

  • Ease of Use: Ready-to-use liquid admixtures that integrate seamlessly into existing concrete mix designs.

  • Compatibility: Can be used in combination with the CHRYSO®Omega, CHRYSO®Optima and CHRYSO®Premia plasticizer and superplasticizer ranges

The CHRYSO® Equalis range combines advanced technology with practical site adaptability. Its formulation extends workability and maintains consistent concrete performance, even under challenging conditions. At the same time, it regulates hydration heat, reduces thermal cracking risk, and improves rheology for cohesive, stable concrete that is easy to place and finish.

Chryso®Equalis 250

Chryso®Equalis 250 is a rheology extender, based on a new technology developed by CHRYSO’s Research Centre Chryso®Equalis 250 should be used in combination with a (high range) water reducer of the range Chryso®Plast Omega, Chryso®Fluid Optima or Chryso®Fluid Premia.   Chryso®Equalis 250 improves significantly the workability retentions, with very limited effect on the setting time and hardening of the concrete.   Since Chryso®Equalis 250 does not affect significantly the initial workability, it is used to adjust the workability retention: water reduction and initial workability being fine-tuned thanks to the (high range) water reducing admixture. Chryso®Equalis 250 is the perfect solution in case of remote jobsite or heavy traffic, as well as temperature changes.   Chryso®Equalis 250 makes it possible to avoid retempering at the delivery point.   Chryso®Equalis 250 is particularly suited for cements for which workability retention is difficult to get and/or at high temperature.

Chryso®Equalis 314

Chryso®Equalis 314 is a new-generation water-reducing plasticiser incorporating Chryso’s innovative consistency-extending technology. Developed using advanced hybrid polymer technology, it is designed to improve the stability and workability of fresh concrete without increasing mix water content.   Chryso®Equalis 314 is formulated to deliver consistent fresh and hardened concrete performance across variable binder compositions and cement chemistries. It is intended for use in combination with a high-range water reducer from the Chryso®Omega, Chryso®Optima or Chryso®Premia ranges. The admixture significantly improves consistency and rheology retention, reducing the need for re-tempering at the point of delivery, while having minimal impact on setting time and strength development. It is particularly suited to ready-mix concrete applications involving long transport distances, heavy traffic conditions or temperature variations.
