MAKING PERVIOUS CONCRETE EASIER
TO TRANSPORT AND PLACE A stabiliser specifically designed for pervious concrete, Chryso® EasyDrain is perfectly adapted to concrete with low fluidity. This technology eliminates the constraints traditionally associated with batching, transporting and placing of pervious concrete, while improving performance and quality. By controlling hydration reaction, Chryso® EasyDrain extends the workability of concrete, while also fluidising the pervious concrete to facilitate its placement.
To make the most of the outstanding qualities of pervious concrete, Chryso® EasyDrain assists in controlling hydration reaction for better workability, while also fluidising the concrete to facilitate improved placement. This offers many benefits for concrete suppliers, contractors and project owners
Key benefits to customers include improved cost-effectiveness, as trucks can be loaded faster to full capacity, making transport more affordable, as well as reducing the CO2 footprint associated with the delivery of concrete to construction sites. Concrete is also easier to handle and place, being more fluid and homogenous. In addition, there is greater durability, with less risk of cracking and aggregate ravelling. Chryso® EasyDrain allows customers to take full advantage of the outstanding qualities of pervious concrete, which are its high performance and high drainage capacity of rainwater. As well as achieving full truck loads, concrete suppliers can discharge concrete trucks faster, with no need for water reducers or cohesion agents.
