TYTRO® Delivers Efficient Shotcrete Mixes

GCP Applied Technologies has launched a new generation of shotcrete admixtures designed to lower the installed cost of shotcrete. The TYTRO® shotcrete system offers lower installed cost through customised mix design, mix optimisation, waste minimisation, and reduced cycle times.

Customised mix design

Every project has different requirements, challenges and specifications. TYTRO®'s technical specialists acknowledge the need for customised mix designs to help achieve desired performance requirements in shotcrete. With access to world-class laboratory resources, TYTRO®'s shotcrete experts ensure that shotcrete professionals get the most technically suitable, optimised and cost-effective mix designs for every project to meet their target performance and quality requirements.

Mix Optimisation

TYTRO® Shotcrete System allows shotcrete professionals to achieve major cost savings (up to 30% lower material cost) through advanced mix solutions tailored to each project’s technical specifications, placement requirements and operational needs. TYTRO®'s mix solutions are delivered by a team of world-class technical specialists and a suite of advanced resources, ranging from rapid diagnostic tools to on-site monitoring systems for shotcrete operational excellence.

Waste Minimisation

We help shotcrete professionals achieve more efficient shotcrete operations by combining market-leading technologies and mix design and optimisation skills with hands-on technical application expertise.

TYTRO® shotcrete system decreases rebound rates to levels of 5-8% by increasing bond to rock, enhancing adhesion between layers and improving mix cohesion. Unplanned removal and disposal of waste can be avoided while increasing project productivity and performance.

Shorter Cycle Times

TYTRO® Shotcrete System has been formulated to optimise the spraying process and minimise shotcrete operating costs. To achieve optimal performance, TYTRO® enables larger layer thickness in one single pass and reduces the time for excavation reentry by achieving higher strength levels at very early age.
