Chryso®Mira

Mid-range Water reducing admixtures

Balanced Water Reduction for Consistent Concrete Performance Across Applications

The Chryso®Mira range comprises mid-range water reducing admixtures designed to deliver consistent performance across a wide range of concrete applications. Positioned between standard plasticisers and high-range water reducers, these solutions provide effective water reduction while maintaining stable set times and reliable workability.

By improving cement dispersion, Chryso®Mira admixtures enhance both early and ultimate compressive strength while supporting durable, low-permeability concrete. Their linear dosage response and consistent performance make them suitable for a variety of production environments, including ready-mix, precast and paving applications.

Chryso®Mira 53

Chryso®Mira 53 is a new generation Mid‑Range water‑reducing admixture developed to improve production economics for concrete manufacturers. Its advanced formula offers significantly greater later‑age strength development than conventional Mid‑Range water reducers, enabling optimised cement content and enhanced overall performance Engineered using blended modified lignosulphonates, Chryso®Mira 53 delivers strong deflocculating action and consistently achieves higher ultimate strengths than MIRA 52 across a wide range of concrete mixes. Product selection should be supported by full concrete trials to determine the most appropriate fit for project requirements.
Mid-Range plasticisers/MRWR

Chryso®Mira 52

Chryso®Mira 52 is a Mid‑Range water‑reducing admixture formulated to improve production economics and concrete performance. It develops significantly greater later‑age strengths than traditional mid‑range water reducers and provides powerful deflocculating action. The admixture supports wide‑ranging concrete applications and is effective with Portland cement, fly ash and GGBS systems. It enhances consistence retention, improves cohesion and enables optimised cement contents while delivering predictable set behaviour and strong ultimate strength performance.
