CHRYSO®Optima 1000 Technology
Advanced superplasticising admixtures for high-performance concrete
Superplasticising Admixtures That Adapt to Site Specifications
The CHRYSO®Optima 1000 range represents the latest innovation in superplasticiser technology from CHRYSO. Designed for large construction sites and ready-mixed concrete, it allows manufacturers to create tailor-made mix designs with high performance, cohesion, and workability.
By leveraging a specially designed molecular structure, CHRYSO®Optima 1000 delivers long workability retention, high pumpability, and significant water reduction. These features make it ideal for complex projects with challenging logistics, dense urban sites, or extreme climates.
Furthermore, its flexible, adaptable formulation supports both cost and performance optimisation while enabling high-strength concrete at early age and 28 days. This combination ensures reliable results across a wide range of project requirements.

Key Benefits of CHRYSO®Optima 1000
Engineered for demanding applications, the range combines performance, adaptability, and reliability to support efficient concrete production and placement:
-
Long Workability Retention: Maintains slump and flow for 3–8 hours to accommodate long-distance transport, delays, and complex site conditions.
-
Extended Pumping Capacity: Supports vertical pumping up to 200 metres and horizontal pumping beyond 500 metres, reducing equipment strain and improving logistics efficiency.
-
High Water Reduction: Achieves up to 50% water reduction, optimising mix design and enhancing early-age and 28-day compressive strength.
-
Tailor-Made Performance: Cohesive, low-viscosity concrete that is easy to place, robust, and adaptable to specific project requirements.
The CHRYSO®Optima 1000 range also offers detailed technical features for specifiers and engineers. Its design ensures consistent, high-quality performance under demanding site conditions, supporting long-distance pumping, extended workability, and optimised compressive strength.
Maintaining concrete fluidity is essential on complex sites, and CHRYSO®Optima 1000 provides extended workability that supports consistent quality and placement:
- Maintains 3–8 hours of consistent workability
- Preserves slump for accurate quality control
- Facilitates placement despite construction site disruptions
Smooth pumping over long distances is critical for efficiency and logistics, and this range ensures reliable flow and reduced equipment strain:
- Vertical pumping up to 200 m
- Horizontal pumping beyond 500 m
- Extends equipment life and supports efficient logistics
Optimised strength and mechanical properties are vital for meeting project specifications quickly and reliably:
- Early-age and 28-day compressive strength optimised
- Reduces need for reactive cementitious materials
- Supports rapid formwork stripping in all weather conditions
Tailor-made concrete mixes allow you to meet site-specific requirements while maintaining high performance and cost efficiency:
- Ultra-flexible formulations for high-performance concrete
- Cohesive, low-viscosity concretes
- Optimises cost and reduces production adjustments
