CHRYSO Plast XP

CHRYSO ® Plast XPWater-reducing plasticizerDescriptionCHRYSO ® Plast XP is a new generation plasticizer.Its molecular structure has been especially designed togive it exceptional properties when used in dry or verylow workability (VLW) concretes.Through its plasticizing and dispersing ability,CHRYSO ® Plast XP improves the mechanicalcharacteristics of elements made of dry or VLW concrete.When used as a water-reducer, CHRYSO ® Plast XP canreduce capillary absorption.CHRYSO ® Plast XP increases production rates whenmanufacturing products with VLW concrete (ie block pavers).After immediate demoulding, concrete usingCHRYSO ® Plast XP exhibits a closed surface finish witha wet aspect and without any dragging of the surface.CHRYSO ® Plast XP has a wide dosage range, whichfacilitates its use in a wide variety of concretes.Characteristics• Nature: liquid• Colour: yellow• Density (20 °C): 1.085 0.010• pH: 7.5 1.0• Cl - ions content: 0.1%• Na 2 O equivalent: 2.0%• Dry extract (halogen): 31.5% 1.1%• Dry extract (EN 480-8): 31.5% 1.1%Packaging• Bulk• Drums of 60 L• Barrels of 215 L• Cubitainers of 1000 LConformityCHRYSO ® Plast XP is a water-reducing plasticizer whichconforms to CE marking.
