COSTARMIX C AIR
Liquid and Powered Air Entraining Admixture
CostarMix C AIR Entraining admixture operates by generating tightly packed, small, and highly stable
bubbles within the concrete mix, resulting in improved workability. Furthermore, this admixture enhances the concrete’s durability, making it more resistant to the damaging effects of freezing and thawing.
This specially formulated admixture contains a reduced amount of active materials, making it suitable for situations where small dosages of air-entraining admixtures are required. Additionally, it enables air entrainment even in stiffer concrete mixes, providing versatility in its application.
Advantages and Features
- Reduced permeability
- Reduced segregation and bleeding
- Improves workability and higher resistance to damage from cyclic freezing and thawing
- Increased compressive strength in lean mixes and water tightness.
- Substantially increased durability.
- Increases moisture retention for cement hydration and resistance to scaling from deicing salts.
- Improved plasticity and workability and Improved air-void system in hardened concrete
USES
COSTARMIX C AIR Entrainment is typically used to
produce:
- Production of high-quality lightweight concrete.
- Used to improve concrete workability in lean or
harsh mixes - Applicable for use in producing vibrated precast such as boxes, culverts, transitions, risers, catch basins;
highway paving; concrete pipe; curb and gutters; sidewalks; driveways and all other concrete which is
subjected to freeze thaw damage or the harmful effects of de-icing salts.
