In the precast light industry, speed and uniformity in production are key parameters in the manufacture of items such as blocks or ceiling blocks. Optimize the formulas of concrete and the choice of appropriate raw materials are two of the ways to achieve these objectives.

Additives Chryso Fluid Optima 200, 335 Xel Chryso-Chryso Tard CLS were used to work the South of Madrid Metro.

With the goal of achieving the objectives set by the industry, Chryso additives increases its range of specific products for semi-dry concrete with the incorporation of Chryso Plast Alpha 15. This product has been specifically designed for the production of concrete blocks and other semi-dry concrete products manufactured by vibrocompresión. This innovative product improves the quality and optimize industrial processes.

The main advantages it brings is a significant reduction of the content of cement, and that allows production speed and regularity.

The regularity in production

Thanks to the special formulation, Chryso Plast Alphya 15 favors the dispersion of particles of cement, improving its hydration. This phenomenon increases the efficiency of the water added to the concrete, notably improving the mechanical resistance. The additive improves also the filling of the moulds, increasing the speed of the production process.

Plast Alpha 15 is a solution to improve all production aspects of the manufacture of blocks and similar products, as well as optimizing the costs of production via reduction of cement.

All these advantages occur without a reduction in the quality of the final product. Numerous industrial experience has demonstrated that the additive has a high tolerance to changes in the raw materials used (moisture of sand, fine content, etc.)

Added value in quality and performance

Chryso Plast Alpha 15 improves the resistance of the concrete gain, reducing the potential deformation of parts after the curing process.

In addition, it has been specifically designed to support changes in the moisture content of materials during the production process. This reduces the number of broken pieces or fisuradas during the manufacturing process.

More than an innovative solution, Plast Alpha 15 is an excellent tool to optimize the formulations of concrete and the reduction of manufacturing costs. Experience shows that you can be an effective reduction of costs by reducing the amount of cement.

Moreover, it allows the use of recycled aggregates, which have a positive effect in reducing costs and less environmental impact.
