ART-AE
Air Entraining Agent
Description
ART-AE is a nonionic liquid air-entraining agent independently developed by ARIT, with proprietary intellectual property rights. It is used in the compounding of concrete admixtures. It has a slight water-reducing effect, while significantly increasing the air content of the concrete mixture with minimal air loss, enhancing the fluidity of the concrete mixture, and has no adverse effects on the later strength of the concrete mixture.
Main Characteristics
The air bubbles introduced into the concrete are small, and the loss of air content is minimal. The air content is higher than 6%.
Can increase the air content of freshly mixed concrete, with no adverse effects on the later strength of the concrete.
Has functions such as water retention, mud resistance, and lubrication.
Has very good compatibility with polycarboxylate superplasticizers, retarders, and other admixtures.
Applications
Ready-mixed commercial concrete
Ultra-long pumping concrete
Low-temperature construction concrete
Precast component concrete
