Description
Carbofen Admix is plant-based aqueous solution that entrains small and well distributed amount of air into the desired mix. These small, stable air bubbles enhance the mixture and improve workability, making it ideal for many construction applications. Carbofen Admix is easy to handle due to its properties and stability, and you can incorporate from 1% to 6% of air according to the dosage applied in the formulation.
Applications
Carbofen Admix is a neutralized liquid solution developed for concrete admixtures and can be used by itself or with other raw materials and additives in the following applications:
- Walls and floors made of concrete in building constructions,
- Pre-molded slabs,
- Foundations,
- Dikes
- Tunnels
- Canals
- Bridges
- Highway projects
Advantages as a concrete additive
- Complaint with ASTM C260 Standard Specification for Air-Entraining Admixtures for Concrete
- Improves freeze-thaw resistance of concrete, which avoids shrinkage cracking and increases longevity
- Improved grinding during the mixing of concrete
- Reduces fissures during the drying process
- Better workability and use of less mixing water
- Improves strength, plasticity and water retention
- Grants concrete better resistance to sulphate and chloride
- Does not provoke volume changes in the concrete mix
- Aqueous solution made of organic materials ideal for companies looking for an ecological solution.
