CHRYSO® Silica MS85
Ultrafine Densified Silica
Description Domains of application
CHRYSO® Silica MS85 aids in the production of concrete
CHRYSO® Silica MS85 is a densifine Silica, mineral with the following qualities :
admixture formulated to produce concrete with special
performances qualities It improves the hardened properties of High Performance Concrete
concrete Structural Concrete
Precast Concrete
It a pozzolana which reacts chemically within the concrete to Shotcrete & Concrete Blocks
increase the amount of calcium silicate hydrate gel formed thus Low permeability Concrete
improving the strength and impermeability of the concrete. Basement Structures
