2 CHRYSO Fluid Optima, the very high-range water reducing superplasticizers developed by CHRYSO

3 A large range to meet all your requirements CHRYSO, leader in innovation on the concrete admixtures market, offers a large range of new generation superplasticizers for the ready-mix concrete market: CHRYSO Fluid Optima. This range of superplasticizers meets different requirements such as initial flowability, workability retention and early and longterm strengths. The CHRYSO Fluid Optima range comes in different series: CHRYSO Fluid Optima 100 series produces a cohesive concrete with an extended workability retention and a low concrete viscosity. This series is therefore particularly suited to pumped concrete. CHRYSO Fluid Optima 200 series is tailored to the requirements of self-compacting concretes with its water reducing and extended workability retention performances. In addition to the performances of CHRYSO Fluid Optima 200 series, CHRYSO Fluid Optima 220 series delivers better strength and an improved appearance of the fresh concrete in most configurations. Thanks to a new breakthrough technology, CHRYSO Fluid Optima 300 series offers excellent workability retention along with superior rheodynamic properties of fresh concrete. These admixture solutions are particularly well suited to self-compacting concretes. The extent of the CHRYSO Fluid Optima range facilitates options to meet strict specifications, thereby optimising the cost/ performance ratio. A commitment from CHRYSO to provide you with the best service For technical questions, our organisation has local teams available to identify the solutions most suited to your requirements. The work of these field experts can also be completed by trials conducted by our network of concrete laboratories. These material trials will enable us to identify the best admixture solution, while taking into account the specific local concrete constituents. Our experts can also make recommendations to optimise your concrete mix design.

4 CHRYSO Fluid Optima 100 series This range of superplasticizers uses a unique patented technology by CHRYSO (based on modified phosphonate). These superplasticizers produce cohesive, low viscosity concretes with extended workability retention. They are therefore particularly suited to: pumped concrete; workability retention over 2 hours; high ambient temperatures. Extra long workability retention Very robust Low concrete viscosity SOCCER CITY STADIUM - JOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA Admixture used: CHRYSO Fluid Optima ,000 m 3 of concrete was required to build the 2010 Soccer World Cup stadium. Used to produce high-performance concrete with a very long flowability. TAMARINS ROAD - REUNION ISLAND Admixture used: CHRYSO Fluid Optima 100 Construction of 11 piers and a 4.5 m thick deck. CHRYSO Fluid Optima 100 met the specifications of the C30/37 concrete, despite restrictive local aggregates. PORT OF TANGIERS - MOROCCO Admixture used: CHRYSO Fluid Optima 175 Production of 7,500 Accropode blocks and 40 four-cell caissons of the new port dike. Workability retention: 90 minutes and good cohesion between the two successive concrete pours. Production of high-strength concrete which allows for the removal of the formwork after 4 hours. WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT - LE HAVRE, FRANCE Admixture used: CHRYSO Fluid Optima 175 Construction of the 15 m deep diaphragm walls. CHRYSO Fluid Optima 175 was used to produce self-compacting concretes (XA3 C45/55 formulation, without filler) with on-site 45 minutes workability. A workability/water reduction compromise tailored to the requirements of the jobsite. BACALAN BRIDGE - BORDEAUX, FRANCE Admixture used: CHRYSO Fluid Optima 185 Construction of the 77-metre high bridge pylons which support 117-metre of lift span, representing a total of 30,000 m 3 of concrete. The product was specifically chosen for its strength performance so as to guarantee perfect consistency of the concrete regardless of the climatic variations of the local materials.

5 CHRYSO Fluid Optima 200 series This range of superplasticizers combines the properties of maintained fluidity and water reduction. This range is essentially characterised by the following properties: extended workability retention; medium and long-term compressive strength (High Performance Concrete Very High Performance Concrete); formulation of fluid to self-compacting concretes. Robustness Extended workability retention Water reduction NORTH ARM BRIDGE, CANADIAN LINE - CANADA Admixture used: CHRYSO Fluid Optima 203 Production of concrete for the construction of the deck, two main pylons (45 m high) and the approach piers on either side of the North Arm Bridge. A 2 -hour workability retention ensured the expected amount of air as well as the excellent quality of the facings. GAUTRAIN PROJECT: SANDTON UNDERGROUND TRAIN STATION SOUTH AFRICA Admixture used: CHRYSO Fluid Optima 206 Production of 22,000 m 3 of ready-mix concrete for the construction of the diaphragm walls of the train station under the Rivona river. Pumping over 500 m with very good plasticity and excellent workability retention. NOWE MIASTRO SHOPPING CENTRE - KRAKOW, POLAND Admixture used: CHRYSO Fluid Optima 206 Construction of beams, walls, ceilings and racks with architectural self-compacting concrete. Extremely rapid strengths development: 25 MPa at 24 hours and 60 MPa at 28 days. In addition to the performances specific to the CHRYSO Fluid Optima 200 series, the CHRYSO Fluid Optima 220 range goes even further in terms of strength and the rheodynamic properties of fresh concrete. This series is particularly suited to the formulation of homogenous self-compacting concretes with a high filling capacity. Focus on CHRYSO FLUID OPTIMA 220 series WINDmills - ARCIS-SUR-AUBE, FRANCE Admixture used: CHRYSO Fluid Optima 224 This project consists of the construction of 20 windmills. Excellent pumpability of the 1,000 m 3 of C30 / C35 concretes for casting the slab.

6 CHRYSO Fluid Optima 300 series CHRYSO Fluid Optima 300 series consists of superplasticizers particularly suited to achieving extended workability retention with restrictive cements. This series: achieves a high water reduction and/or substantial increase in the concrete workability; can be used to produce self-compacting concrete mixes; offers flexibility of use with a wide range of concretes. Optimised cost/performance ratio Extended workability retention with restrictive cements High water reduction ORLÉANS HOSPITAL - FRANCE Admixture used: CHRYSO Fluid Optima 350 More than 70,000 m 3 of self-compacting concrete was cast for the 205,000 m 2 of infrastructure. Concrete demonstrated very good rheodynamic properties. This technical solution was also able to meet the economic requirement of the specifications. Rheodynamic properties of fresh concrete BAYONNE VIADUCT ON THE A63 - FRANCE nce Admixture used: CHRYSO Fluid Optima 380 This new 250 m long viaduct has three traffic lanes. CHRYSO Fluid Optima 380 allowed for extended workability with a restrictive french cement, with a very low W/C ratio. CHRYSO Fluid Optima 352 EMx is particularly suited to concretes containing Supplementary Cementitious Materials. It is therefore part of the EnviroMix approach. Focus on CHRYSO FLUID OPTIMA 352 Emx CHRYSO is committed to sustainable construction CHRYSO incorporates green-design into its product development. Using CHRYSO superplasticizers in the formulation of Self-Compacting Concrete is part of the sustainable development approach. SCC enables application in formwork and reduces noise nuisance.
