Air - Entrainer

  • Formation of small srtable discrete bubbles 
  • Improved workability ( higher slump ) 
  • Increase resistance to frost action 
  •  Reduction in bleeding and water gain 
  • Use for road and runway construction 
  • Adverse effect : some reducrtion in strength 
  • The incorporation of void space within concrete decreases its crushing strength by 6% for every 1 % of air-entrained > However , itg is partially offset by using lower water content
