Product description
Adva®Cast 585 admixture is a high efficiency, low addition rate polycarboxylate-based high-range water reducer designed for the production of a wide range of concrete mixes, from conventional to Self Consolidating Concrete. It is designed to impart extreme workability without segregation to the concrete.
Meets or exceeds the requirements of ASTM C494 Type A & F, and ASTM C1017 Type I. The product is supplied as a ready-to-use liquid that weighs approximately 9.0 lbs/gal (1.1 kg/L). Chryso®AdvaCast 585 high-range water reducer does not contain intentionally added chlorides.
Interpretation
Based on the results from the life cycle assessment model, the life cycle impacts are strongly driven by the raw materials. The impacts of the raw materials are primarily attributed to the polycarboxylate in the product recipe. The manufacturing of Chryso®Adva Cast 585 Admixtures also drive the Global Warming Potential. Natural gas consumption is a significant contributor to the manufacturing impacts
LCIA results are relative expressions and do not predict impacts on category endpoints, the exceeding of thresholds, safety margins or risks. EPDs are comparable only when they follow the same PCR, functional unit and system boundary. The full EPD (PDF) contains the methodology, scenario assumptions and verification statement.
