Depleting sand resources and CRs are a growing issue . CHRYSO Quad enables a wide range of sands to be used, improving the use of local resources shrinking your carbon footprint
About
Depleting resources and manufactured sand is turning sourcing into a major challenge. CHRYSO (R) Quad gives a solution for the use of challenging sands, whether it is related to a characteristic of lack of fines, or an excess of fines, specific sand shapes (from manufactured sands CRF) or sands containing swelling clay contamination. All of these sand types can offer unique challenges but with the Quad range, CHRYSO can offer tailor made admixture solutions enabling the use of challenging sands. This allows for a wide range of sands to be used, improving the use of local resources shrinking your carbon footprint, whilst also delivering cost savings to your finished product.
Key Benefits
Minimise environmental impact : using more local resources reduces the carbon footprint of the product Use of challenging sands : enables you to use products not normally being suited to production of concrete, or to increase levels of lower quality product already included in the mix. Reduces stocks of materials in quarries that cannot be used elsewhere Reduced production costs : being able to use products that are either closer than alternative sands, using products that in the past are seen with little value reducing cost and enabling premium materials to be used in other processes. Increasing percentage of lower cost materials within a mix design. Tailor made solution : Depending on the sand issue, typically unique between operations, a tailor made solution can be provided for each source.
Applications
Concrete, Mortar and Screeds. Enables all types of concrete to be manufactured, including value added products such as self compacting products where difficult sands can either prevent production, increase cost due to mix design or effect product performance resulting in customer complaints.
