CHRYSO® Cure HPE forms a protective film when drying, which prevents concrete and mortar from dessiccation. This enables a more complete hydration of the cement particles and limits early age cracking and drying shrinkage. After setting, the surface of the concrete thus treated, offers a better resistance to abrasion. A surface treated with CHRYSO® Cure HPE is initially white in order to easily identify the coated areas. After drying, the coating is
colorless. CHRYSO® Cure HPE eases trowel finishing and
improves the surface finish.
Applications:
• Protection of elements with a high surface / volume ratio: concrete slabs, roads, concrete highway.
• Protection of concrete and mortar subject to adverse drying effects at early age (high ambient temperature, wind).
• Trowel finishing.
• All cement based elements subject to unacceptable dessiccation.
• Precast walling.

CHRYSO® Fuge B renders mortar and concrete highly resistant to capillary action and reduces, or even eliminates, infiltration of water under pressure. The fine particles contained in CHRYSO® Fuge B combines with the lime in cement to form water repellent particles. These obstruct the capillary action within concrete and prevent water from penetrating. CHRYSO® Fuge B does not significantly modify the characteristics of fresh concrete and mortar, nor the compressive strength.
Use:
• All types of cements.
• Concrete for foundations under the water table.
• Concrete for reservoirs, tanks, etc.
• Sealing grout for tanks.
• Concrete and mortar in regular contact with water.
