Chryso, a global leader in sustainable construction solutions and part of Saint-Gobain Construction Chemicals, will present its architectural precast portfolio at The Precast Show 2026 in Kansas City, February 4 through 6, 2026 (Booth #903). Chryso’s 2026 exhibit emphasizes a unified approach: high-quality architectural precast is achieved when visual accuracy, long-term resilience, and dependable structural behavior are working together.
In addition to showcasing new and proven solutions, Chryso continues its long-standing support of the precast industry as a sponsor of the PCI Design Awards and through its Chryso Precast School, an educational platform dedicated to sharing best practices, advancing technical knowledge, and supporting the next generation of precast innovation.
For 2026 Chryso’s focus centers on architectural precast, where color consistency, surface quality, durability, and production efficiency must align. The booth will spotlight Interstar pigments, Pieri decorative solutions, and Chryso admixtures, alongside its proven synthetic fiber technologies, delivering a coordinated approach across aesthetics and performance.
Interstar Pigments: Color Control at Architectural Scale
Now part of Saint-Gobain Construction Chemicals, Interstar delivers precise, measurable color control and broad design freedom, supported by Chryso’s admixture expertise and technical network.
“Color and finish consistency are critical for architectural precast,” says Brian Miller, regional sales director at Chryso North America. “By combining Interstar pigments with Chryso admixture expertise, precasters can rely on one technical partner to support color consistency, performance, and quality from initial mock-ups through final production.”
This integration helps producers manage project risk on complex architectural elements, respond to raw material or mix design adjustments over extended production timelines, and collaborate more effectively with architects and designers, especially on advanced precast and UHPC applications.
Decorative & Performance Solutions Designed to Work Together
Chryso’s architectural precast offering extends beyond pigments, delivering a coordinated set of decorative and performance solutions supported through a single, consolidated technical channel. By aligning pigments, decorative technologies, admixtures, and fibers under one support structure, precast producers no longer need to coordinate between multiple suppliers to achieve their project goals.
Pieri decorative solutions complement Interstar pigments by enhancing surface finishes while supporting production efficiency. Chryso admixtures and fiber technologies complete the system, enabling improved mix design flexibility, strength development, surface refinement, and casting consistency. Together these solutions allow producers to address color, admixtures, mix optimization, and performance requirements collaboratively, streamlining communication, reducing risk, and helping ensure architectural intent is carried through from design to finished element.
