Triterpenoid Saponin Air Entraining Admixture

Keywords: triterpenoid saponin, air entraining admixture, agent, concrete admixture

Description
Triterpenoid saponin air entraining admixture has much remarkable characteristics, such as reducing solution surface tension notably, producing close and independent foams with high multiple and large quantity, small spacing between foams and long steady foams, so it can obviously improve the working performance of plastic concrete and durability of hardened concrete. Therefore, it is one kind of high-quality air entraining admiture with good applying prospect in concrete project.

Features

Triterpenoid saponin made from wilding fruits by extraction, grafting, molecular structure optimizing and synthesis etc.

Power and liquid forms

Main composition: natural triterpenoid saponin; non-ion surfactant

Easily dissolved in water and stronger chemical stability to acid, alkali and hard water.

Performance

Low dosage and high quality foams

Recommended dosage: 0.0004 to 0.0015% of cement wt. By the dosage, it can produce 1 billion foams which are discontinuous, close and spherical; and foam size is 0.02 to 0.2 mm. The foams are with even distributing and good stability.

Air content 5% max, foams spacing ratio L 100 micron min.

Air content 6%, foams spacing ratio L 80 micron around

Good blending performance with other admixtures, nice compatible adaptability and cooperative effect.

Applicability

Concrete projects with high durability (especially for antifreezing and durability), including hydraulic engineering, harbor engineering, highway and bridge, etc.
Concrete highway and bridge that remove the ices with deicing salt
Concrete projects with high wokability
Pumping agent and other blending admixtures
Blending with superplasticizer, water reducer to improve concrete durability and erosion resistance.

Packing

200KG/drum (liquid) and 10KG/bag (powder); Shelf life 6 months (liquid) and 12 months (powder)
