ARMOR AIR ENTRAINMENT
AIR-ENTRAINING ADMIXTURE
Product Description
Armor Air Entraining admixture provides concrete with maximum protection by establishing air bubbles that are ultra-stable, small and closely spaced. It is specifically designed with a lower active material content for concrete where low dosages of air- entraining admixtures are required. It also allows for air entrainment in stiffer concrete mixes. The admixture increases the durability of concrete, making it more resistant to the damaging effects of freeze/thawing, while improving workability and reducing bleeding.
- Reduced permeability – increased water tightness
- Reduced segregation and bleeding
- Improves workability
- High resistance to damage from cyclic freezing and thawing
- Increased compressive strength in lean
- Substantially increased
- Increases moisture retention for cement hydration Increased resistance to scaling from deicing salts Improved plasticity and workability Improved air-void system in hardened concrete
ARMOR AIR ENTRAINMENT is typically used to produce:
- In exposed concrete using low slump
- The production of concrete pipe; vibrated precast such as boxes, culverts, transitions, risers, catch basins; highway paving; curb and gutters; sidewalks; driveways and all other concrete which is subjected to freeze thaw damage or the harmful effects of de-icing
- In increasing the workability of concrete, especially in lean or harsh
- Production of high quality normal or lightweight concrete (heavyweight concrete normally does not contain entrained air).
- Wear protective gloves and eye protection during work
- Avoid contact with eyes and skin
- If skin contact occurs, wash skin thoroughly
- If in eyes, hold eyes open and flood with warm water and seek medical attention immediately

ARMOR AIR ENTRAINMENT admixture meets the requirements of ASTM C 260, AASHTO M 154, and CRD-C 13.
The recommended dosage range for ARMOR AIR ENTRAINMENT is 30 – 3000 mL/100 kg of cementitious material.
Introduce ARMOR AIR ENTRAINMENT admixture to the concrete mixture using a dispenser designed for air-entraining admixtures; or add manually using a suitable measuring device that ensures accuracy within plus or minus 3% of the required amount. For optimum, consistent performance, the air-entraining admixture should be dispensed on damp, fine aggregate or with the initial batch water. If the concrete mixture contains lightweight aggregate, field evaluations should be conducted to determine the best method to dispense the air entraining admixture.
