Product Description
Air entraining agent is a specialized admixture that dissolves in water and is added to concrete mixtures. It produces numerous microscopic, stable bubbles during the mixing process, significantly enhancing the properties of the final material.
Key Functions:
- Improve fluidity, cohesiveness, and water retention.
- Increase bending strength by 10%-20% with 3%-5% gas content.
- Enhance freezing, salt, and sulfate resistance.
- Improve volume stability and extend service life of road concrete.
Product Characteristics
AE-1460 is a mixture of wetting proprietary surfactants designed for superior bubble stabilization. It is highly compatible with various cementitious materials including cement and gypsum.
- Fast Foaming: Quickly forms uniform, fine bubbles.
- Stability: Low dosage with excellent bubble retention.
- Ion Resistance: High tolerance for Calcium and Magnesium ions.
Comparison: AE-1450 vs AE-1460
While AE-1450 focuses on rapid production of larger bubbles, AE-1460 is engineered to produce small, dense, and highly stable bubbles that optimize thermal insulation and material strength.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which materials are compatible with AE-1460?
It is ideal for wet-mix mortar, gypsum-based materials, cement-based dry mortar, and foamed concrete.
What is the Minimum Order Quantity (MOQ)?
The minimum order is 1 package (25KG). Ordering larger quantities significantly reduces per-unit transportation costs.
Do you provide samples and technical support?
Free samples are available (customer covers express shipping). We offer full technical support through a team with over 20 years of industry experience.
What is the recommended dosage for AE-1460?
The typical dosage is 0.06-0.1% of the total volume, though specific amounts should be determined by trial mixing for your specific application.
How should the product be stored?
Keep it in a cool, dry, and ventilated area. The shelf life is 12 months from the production date if kept sealed and protected from moisture.
What is the main difference between AE-1450 and AE-1460?
AE-1450 creates larger bubbles quickly, while AE-1460 produces smaller, denser, and more stable bubbles, which is better for maintaining material strength.
