Improve impact resistance, durability and long-term crack control properties
Increase project life span, reduce construction time and labor cost
STRUX® fibers, such as STRUX® 90/40 synthetic macro-fibers, improve impact resistance, durability and long-term crack control properties of concrete by equally distributing structural fibers throughout the entire concrete matrix. There’s no risk from corrosion, and none of the risk or job site obstruction inherent with the use of welded wire or mild steel reinforcement. STRUX® eliminates time and labor versus installing welded wire mesh (WWM). It eliminates the need to lift, carry, hoist, position, cut and tie awkward, heavy sheets or rolls of welded wire fabric (WWF) and thus helps to reduce construction time and labor cost.
Examples of applications where STRUX® can be used are slab on ground, precast element, elevated deck, tunnel liners to replace non-structural steel.

Enabling increased use of SCMs for concrete (Strength Enhancer)
Lower carbon solutions for concrete performance, quality and durability
Innovation in concrete admixtures like Enviromix® SE (strength enhancer) and the entire Enviromix® offering allows for the optimum use of pozzolans and SCMs.
Enviromix® SE activates the hydration of cement and SCMs to allow for cement replacement up to 10%, enhances early and late age strengths (up to 1000 PSI at 1 day) and is neutral to slump life and other concrete characteristics.
Enviromix® Water Reducers combine strength enhancement, water reduction and rheology improvement to achieve cement reduction with a single admixture.
Our unique customization process allows us to create specific formulations dialed in to exact specifications of cement and concrete plants across the globe.
Our admixture solutions:
- EnviroMix® offering, including new Enviromix® SE
Our services:
- Regional labs for customer-driven innovation with material characterization capabilities and mix optimization know-how,
- CO2 savings quantification tool,
- EPD Program and customer consulting program
Sustainable solution for an industry problem
Treat, manage, and enable the reuse of returned concrete
Dealing with concrete waste is an environmental challenge and the high cost of dealing with returned concrete is troublesome for many producers, both CHRYSO®Convert C and CLARENA® RC 40 admixtures make it possible for producers to recycle returned concrete.
These admixtures can be simply mixed into the plastic concrete, turning it into a dry granular material. The resulting product can be used as road base material, compacted fill or as a partial replacement for virgin aggregate in new concrete. This results in improved land efficiency, conservation of natural resources and lower CO2 emissions through reduced transportation cost.

Optimizing local use of sands and aggregates
Foster circular economy solutions through local supply streams
What if concrete producers could extend the possibilities of sourcing aggregates and sands closer to their production facilities with no compromise on ready-mix concrete quality?
CHRYSO®Quad Water Reducers enable using up to 100% manufactured sands and increasing the ratio of sands containing an excessive or too low proportion of fines.
Clarena MC 2000 offers excellent resistance to the effects of swellable clays, such as smectites on aggregates and enhance the use of locally available “dirty” aggregates.
These technologies offer concrete producers access to local supply streams and foster circular economy solutions.
