Air entraining additives for Portland and masonry cements
BATIMIX Air 4101 is an aqueous solution of long-chain olefin sulfonate and specialty chemicals. It is used in the manufacture of air-entraining Portland and masonry types of cement.
BATIMIX Air 4101 improves air-entrainment. It triggers by agitation and stabilization the formation of microscopic bubbles in the cement paste of mortar and concrete mixes, improving their workability and plasticity. It reduces the water demand of both mortars and concrete without any slump loss. It yields results in both open and closed circuit cement mills.
BATIMIX Air 4101 is used in the grinding process to enhance the properties of mortars and Portland, masonry, and blended cement. It optimizes the grinding efficiency of both white and gray cement.
BATIMIX Air 4101 provides the following performances:
• Increased mill output at the same cement fineness
• Enhanced grain size distribution for optimized initial and final strengths of cement
• Increased level of air entrainment (up to 35%) according to specification requirements
• Improved workability and plasticity for mortar and masonry applications
• Easy and safe handling
