Description

Uses

To produce air entrained concrete for increased durability and
resistance to damage by frost and deicing salts. Typical
applications include concrete roads and bridge decks, airport
runways and taxiways and other extensive areas of concrete
exposed to potential frost damage.
To improve cohesion and workability of concrete mixes where
poorly graded aggregates must be used and bleeding,
segregation or sand runs occur.
As part of a combined admixture system for the production of
ready mixed retarded mortar.

Advantages

Air entrainment increases the resistance of concrete to attack
by frost and de-icing salts, reducing problems of surface
scaling and concrete failure.
Entrained air bubbles assist in the formation of a stable
cohesive mix, reducing segregation and bleeding.
Air entrainment improves workability and helps produce a
dense, uniform, close textured surface free from gravel nests
and sand runs, so further enhancing durability.
Excellent air bubble stability allows use with a wide range
of aggregate qualities and mix conditions.
