Usage Areas
- In concretes exposed to the freeze-thaw cycle,
- It is used to reduce vomiting caused by improper aggregate gradation.
Advantages
- Increased resistance to damage from the freeze-thaw cycle and peeling from de-icing salts.
- Decreased permeability – increased waterproofing
- Decreased dissociation and vomiting
- Improved plasticity and machinability
- Greatly improved air drift stability
- Improvement of the air gap system in hardened concrete
- In concretes with low precipitation value; in concrete containing fly ash with a high carbon content; in concrete with an excess of thin materials; in concretes where cement with a high amount of alkali is used; improves the ability to drag and maintain air in concretes exposed to high temperatures and concretes with long mixing times.
