Product type
Air entraining admixtures are specialized chemical additives used in concrete and mortar to introduce and stabilize microscopic air bubbles. These bubbles enhance the workability, durability, and resistance of concrete to freeze-thaw cycles. Typically composed of surfactants and other stabilizing agents, they help improve the overall performance of concrete mixtures in various environmental conditions.
| Chemical composition | Surfactants, polymers, and stabilizers |
| Typical dosage | 0.1% to 2% by weight of cement |
| Air content increase | 5% to 10% additional air |
| Compatibility | Compatible with most other admixtures |
| Storage conditions | Store in a cool, dry place |
When selecting an air entraining admixture, consider the specific requirements of your concrete mix, including the desired air content and environmental conditions. It's important to specify the grade of the admixture, compatibility with other additives, and any necessary certifications. Additionally, request information on the recommended dosage and performance characteristics to ensure optimal results in your application.
