Air entraining and strength enhancer additive for Portland and masonry cements
BATIMIX Air 4102 is an aqueous solution of a long-chain olefin sulfonate and specialty strength-enhancing chemicals. It is used in the manufacture of air-entraining Portland and masonry types of cement.
BATIMIX Air 4102 improves air-entrainment without compromising the development of early and late age compressive strengths. 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 mortar and concrete without any slump loss. It yields effective results in both open and closed circuit cement mills.
BATIMIX Air 4102 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 4102 provides the following performances:
• Increases mill output at the same cement fineness
• Enhances grain size distribution for optimized initial and final strengths of cement
• Increases level of air entrainment (up to 35%) according to specification requirements
• Improves workability and plasticity for mortar and masonry applications
• Compensates the reduction in compressive strength through increased hydration rates and skeleton compacity
• Improves workability and plasticity for mortar and masonry applications
• Easy and safe handling
