CHRYSO® Air Entraining Agents for masonry cement
n Produce masonry cement conforming to CHRYSO Southern Africa
the NF EN 413, ASTM C91 or other local standards.
n Stabilise air level while optimising the size
The CHRYSO® Air Entraining Agents range is specifically designed to entrain air in masonry cement.
CHRYSO Southern Africa
Objectives n Entrain air in masonry cement (up to 20%.
of the air voids and their dispersion.
Technical advantages Entrain and optimise air in mortars (up to 20%) CHRYSO® Air Entraining Agents range easily achieves air requirements for various masonry products. It improves mortar flowability, the consistency of air content and dispersion of the air voids.
Improve grinding capacity CHRYSO® Air Entraining Agents can be custom formulated to include grinding aids performance.
Improve powder transport CHRYSO® Air Entraining Agents also reduce the electro-static effect of cement particles. The cement produced is more fluid which prevents blockages and improves cement handling.
Increase water retention for mortars: Improve adherence on all surfaces
Improve setting times and 28-day strength
CHRYSO® Air Entraining Agents improve water retention for mortars. Consequence is a better adherence to any surface.
To meet our customer technical needs, CHRYSO® Air Entraining Agents can be specifically formulated to improve setting times and 28-day strengths.
Improve masonry cement waterproofing properties To meet ASTM standards, CHRYSO® adds waterproofing properties to its air entraining agents.
Increase freeze-thaw resistance and crack prevention Thanks to the air entrained in cement when using CHRYSO® Air Entraining Agents, the air voids act as expansion chambers which improve the frost resistance of the mortar and therefore prevent cracking.
