Contact SupplierProduct Description
AE is an ultra stable air-entraining admixture for use in all types of concrete. AE is particularly recommended for use in concrete in which it has previously been difficult to maintain the desired air content. AE is supplied as a ready-to-use aqueous solution, free of added chloride.
Recommended For
low slump concrete
flowable concrete
high temperature concrete
concrete with extended working times
light-weight and pre-stressed concrete
imparting workability to lean harsh mixes
reducing bleeding caused by grading deficiencies in the concrete materials
improve the cohesiveness and compressive
strength of concrete blocks and bricks.
Product Advantage
The use of AE to entrain optimum air content in concrete results in the following improvements in concrete quality:
improved plasticity and workability
reduced segregation and bleeding
reduced permeability increased water tightness
increased durability
increased resistance to freezethaw cycles
improved ability to entrain and retain air in concrete
improved stability
improved air-void system in hardened concrete
Compatibility
AE is compatible for use in concrete containing other admixtures such as high range water reducers, accelerators, retarders, densifiers and water repellents. However, combinations of admixtures may have a synergistic effect effectively increasing air entrainment and therefore, should always be
tested in concrete before use. When two or more admixtures are used, they must be added to the mix separately (through dispensers or by hand) and must not be mixed with each other prior to adding to the concrete mix.
