Chemrite Aer

Chemrite Aer
Air Entraining Concrete Admixture.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Product Description Chemrite Aer is ready to use highly concentrated air entraining
concrete admixture. Its efficiency is based upon a very large
number of minute-sized, evenly distributed air pores. It complies
with ASTM C 260.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Uses Chemrite Aer is used to produce easily workable and durable
concrete for:
-- Roads
-- Runways and taxiways
-- Concrete aprons.
-- Dams and reservoirs
-- Mass concrete structures
_______________________________________________________________________________
Advantages Chemrite Aer provides the following advantages:
-- Improved workability
-- Improved durability
-- Increased cohesion reducing the risk of segregation
-- Reduced water content without loss of workability
-- Unaltered setting time even when overdosed

Application
_______________________________________________________________________________
Dosage 0.03-0.15% by weight of cement. Exact dosage rates are
determined by trials at site.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Air entrainment Factors affecting air contents, include: type, grading and
proportion of sand, cement, aggregates, type and fineness of
cement, water/cement ratio, and temperature. In certain cases
therefore, it may be necessary to increase the dosage above
0.15% rate.

Air meter tests should be taken consistently and adjustments

made to the dosage rate to completely control the amount of air
entrainment, which should be preferably in the range of 3-6%.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Dispensing Chemrite-Aer is added to the mixing water prior to its addition
to the dry concrete mix.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Compatibility Chemrite- Aer can be combined with all admixtures. It is also
compatible with sulphate resistant cement.
_______________________________________________________________________________
Important Increased air contents generally have a reduction effect on
strengths. This can be adequately compensated by using other
admixtures.
