Air Entrainers
Overview
Freeze-thaw cycles and harsh environmental conditions can compromise concrete durability. Air Entrainers introduce microscopic air bubbles into the mix, increasing resistance to cracking and scaling caused by freeze-thaw damage.
Key Features
- Improved Durability – Enhances resistance to freezing, thawing, and de-icing salts.
- Stable Air Void System – Uniform distribution of microbubbles for consistent performance.
- Workability – Improves cohesiveness and reduces segregation in harsh mixes.
- Compatible Formulation – Works with most admixtures and cement types.
