Product Description

Product Description

Air entraining agent is a kind of special admixture. It dissolves in water and is added to the concrete mixture. It can produce a lot of tiny bubbles during the mixing process.
Functions:

1. Improve the fluidity, cohesiveness and water retention of concrete mixes.
2. Improve the bending strength of concrete, when the gas content is 3%-5%, the bending strength can be increased by 10%-20%.
3. Enhance concrete's freezing resistance, salt resistance, impermeability, sulfate resistance and alkali aggregate reaction resistance.
4. Improve the volume stability of concrete, enhance the weather resistance of field structure, and extend the service life of road concrete.

    Performances

1. Reduce water secretion and segregation of concrete, improve the homogeneity of concrete.
2. Air-entraining agent has lower modulus of elasticity, less rigidity and better flexibility.
3. The heat diffusion and conduction coefficient of concrete is reduced, which improves the volume stability of concrete, enhances the weather resistance of the field structure and prolongs the service life of road concrete.
4. It greatly improves the concrete frost resistance, salinity resistance, permeability resistance, sulfate erosion resistance and alkali aggregate reaction resista

AE-1460
Concrete air-entraining agent with small and stable air bubbles

AE-1460(Concrete air-entraining agent with small and stable air bubbles )

Air-entraining agent AE-1460 is a mixture of wetting proprietary surfactants, AE1460 has the most good wetting effect on the substrate and excellent foam stabilization. It has good compatibility with various cementitious materials such as cement and gypsum, and can be used in foamed cement, foamed gypsum, dry-mixed mortar, concrete and other products.

 

Product characteristics

AE-1450 has good dispersion and workability.

1. Fast foaming speed and small impact on strength:

In the preparation process of materials such as concrete and gypsum, AE-1460 can quickly form uniform and fine bubbles, greatly improving production efficiency. At the same time, these bubbles have little effect on the strength of the material, ensuring that the material has excellent compressive and tensile strength while maintaining lightness.
 

      2. Low dosage, good bubble stability.

This means that during the use and construction of the material, the bubbles are not easy to break or merge, thereby ensuring the uniformity and stability of the material. This stability is particularly important for lightweight materials such as foamed cement and foamed gypsum, because they need to maintain a stable foam structure for a long time to maintain their lightweight and thermal insulation properties.
 

      3. Calcium and magnesium ions have little influence on their properties

In building materials, calcium ions and magnesium ions are common ion components, which have an important impact on the performance of materials. However, the introduction of AE-1460 does not have a significant impact on the performance of these ions, thus ensuring that the material can still maintain its original performance characteristics after adding air entraining agent.

Differences between AE-1450 and AE-1460:

AE-1450 is known for its fast foaming speed. After being added to base materials such as concrete and gypsum, AE-1450 can quickly produce a large number of bubbles, which are relatively large.

In contrast, AE-1460 focuses more on producing small and dense bubbles. This small and dense bubble structure can not only maintain the light weight and thermal insulation performance of the material, but also significantly improve the strength and stability of the material. AE-1460 also has better foaming performance. Even during long-term use and construction, the bubbles are not easy to break or merge, ensuring the long-term stability of the material.

Note: If the customer is using it for foaming products, such as foaming gypsum, it is necessary to pre-disperse the foam before adding gypsum.

(1) Wet mixed mortar
(2) Gypsum based building materials
(3) Cement-based dry mix mortar
(4) Foamed concrete

Usage and Precautions

1. When using, need to be mixed with other dry powder components together, when using according to the construction of different areas of mixing requirements for mixing and construction;
2. The recommended dosage is 0.06-0.1% of total volume, and the specific dosage is determined by trial mixing according to the application system and the change of dry mix components;
3. The mixing amount of concrete with higher requirements for freeze-thaw resistance and winter construction concrete should be determined by test according to the requirements of air content of concrete.
4. The air-entraining quantity is affected by the material used to formulate concrete and the temperature of the environment in which the concrete is prepared, so it must be kept as stable as possible in order to control the fluctuation of air content.

 

packaging and storage

1. Packed in paper-plastic composite bag, 25kg/bag, the storage period is 12 months from the date of production, if it exceeds the shelf life, it must be verified by test and inspection before use;
2. Place in a ventilated and dry place for storage, pay attention to moisture-proof treatment, avoid direct sunlight, use it in time after opening, and seal it in time if it is not used up to prevent moisture absorption and deterioration.
