Pozzolith AEP 

An integral concrete plasticizer and water reducing agent based on lignosulphonate with moderate air entraining properties.

Features and Benefits

• POZZOLITH AEP enables air entrainment of approximately 5% into a concrete mix of 50mm slump. Its plasticizing action will give an increase in workability thus facilitating a high water reduction in the water content of approximately 10-15%.
• These properties will allow air entrainment in the concrete without loss in strength, which normally would be associated with air entrainment subject to normal mix adjustments.
• Concrete will be less susceptible to bleeding and segregation, especially where being poured or pumped, and will have increased durability and reduced permeability.
• Of particular benefit in crushed aggregate mixes where the improved cohesion of the mix results in minimising sand runs and eliminating bleeding.
• Cohesion of the mix aids pouring and placing of concrete.
• The powerful air entraining agent in POZZOLITH AEP enables it to entrain controlled amounts of air bubbles of optimum spacing and diameter into the concrete to give high durability under freeze-thaw conditions.
