ConAir® 260 may be used wherever air entrainment is required by concrete specifications. It is particularly useful in:

- Commercial and residential concrete

- Mass concrete

- Low slump paving mixes

- Mixes with high fly ash contents

- All concrete to be exposed to freezing and thawing conditions

- Concrete exposed to de-icing salts

- Concrete to be mixed for an short period of time

Advantages:

ConAir® 260 introduces millions of uniformly sized and spaced air voids throughout the concrete mixture. Concrete containing these tiny air bubbles has been proven far more resistant to freezing and thawing than plain concrete. ConAir® 260 in hardened concrete reduces permeability and enhances the resistance to surface deterioration caused by de-icing chemicals.

Concrete containing ConAir® 260 requires less water to achieve a given slump. ConAir® 260 can aid in concrete placing and finishing as the entrained air bubbles act as tiny “ball bearings” to greatly improve the plasticity and workability of the concrete, making it easier to flow into forms or be pumped into place. Concrete mixes designed using ConAir® 260 can result in a reduction of segregation and honeycombing with smoother and more even finished surfaces. Reduced bleeding rate can be expected in air entrained mixes.
