CHRYSO® CO2 Reductie

When low carbon meets high performance

The transition to a low-carbon concrete mix-design is one of the main levers to meet the challenges of sustainable construction. To facilitate this change, CHRYSO innovates with EnviroMix®, a global offer of admixtures and services to optimize the concrete formulation and implementation strategy.

ENVIROMIX® SOLUTION

EnviroMix® : the new range of low and ultra low-carbon concrete admixtures

Based on the latest CHRYSO innovations, the new EnviroMix® range integrates specific polymers and catalyzers, for an optimum reduction of the carbon footprint in concrete, while ensuring a high level of performance:

CHRYSO®EnviroMix : up to 50% CO2 reduction /m3 of concrete.
CHRYSO®EnviroMix ULC (Ultra Low-Carbon) : a reduction of CO2 / m3 of concrete beyond 50%.
By acting on the CO2 impact, new parameters are to be integrated for the elaboration of the mix-design, in addition to the traditional properties of this material at the heart of our construction methods (resistance and durability classes, workability maintenance, setting time…).

ENVIROMIX® SERVICES

Enviromix®Impact is a pre-diagnosis tool calculator, it allows to:

  • Calculate the environmental impact of a concrete mix design and help you define a formulation strategy adapted to your carbon reduction objective
  • Compare two concrete formulations, one of which is low-carbon oriented
  • Integrate the energy cost of heat curing into the calculation and even the carbon impact of the distance of concrete raw materials transportation.

CHRYSO®FIBRE EXPERTISE

MICRO-FIBRES

Micro fibres are mainly used against the formation of plastic shrinkage cracks. This leads to an improved durability and a better aesthetic. CHRYSO natural micro fibres can be used to optimize your concrete carbon footprint.

MACRO-FIBRES

Macro-synthetic fibres enhance durability, thoughness and the ability to provide structural capacity when properly designed. These fibres are easier to use compared to steel fibres due to steel fibres due to lighter weight, a non-corrosive nature and the ability to be pumped with ease.

Reduced shrinkage induced cracking

Microfibres reduce very efficiently the risk for plastic shrinkage induced cracking.

Time saving vs traditional reinforcement​

Fibers considerably facilitate contractors’ job through the suppression of expensive and stringent steel mesh cutting and overlap or incorrect positioning.
