Air Entraining Agent
Description
Carbofen-X is a modified, saponified and powdered natural resin. These resins are derived from the synthesis of polyphenolic resin acids extracted from the “pine knot,” a highly resinous part of the araucaria angustifolia (Parana Pine). Our product has excellent properties as a ready-for-use air entrainer for concrete and mortar, since it allows the user to eliminate the process step of neutralization. Carbofen-X is water-soluble and may be added pure to the mix or as an aqueous solution.
Applications
Air entraining agents have large use in foundations, slabs, dikes, tunnels, canals, bridges, highroads and others. Carbofen-X can be used in the construction for concrete highway projects. In addition, our product can be used in:
- All types of concrete, including light weight and prestressed concrete where optimum air entrainment is desired;
- Concrete containing Pozzolith or other admixtures (water reducers, accelerators, retarders, densified and water repellents).
