AIR ENTRAINERS

A-Train FF is a specialty solution of selected surfactants for use as an Admixture for Cellular and Pre-Foamed Lightweight Concrete and for use as a Synthetic Air Entraining Admixture for Concrete. When used with a Foam Generator and a suitable water supply, A-Train FF produces a consistent pre-foam that is stable under alkaline conditions and suitable for use in the production of foamed concrete. Foamed concrete results from the controlled addition of a pre-foam to a cement grout or sand/cement mortar. Typically, producers can achieve a range of densities, from 20 to 100 lb/ft³. Foamed concrete is lightweight and highly mobile, able to flow for long distances under its own hydraulic head, and is an ideal material for uses such as void filling, roof screeds and trench reinstatement

Features and Benefits

• Produces a consistent, stable pre-foam when used with a foam generator
• Easily controlled addition of pre-foam to pre-batched mortar allows close control of finished density
• Mixing in the drum of a ready mix truck eliminates the need for expensive blending equipment
• Produces highly mobile foamed concrete that easily places without compaction.
• Foamed concrete retains its volume and does not sink during or after hardening

Riteks A-Train™ VR is a neutralized vinsol resin concentrate admixture for entraining air in concrete. A-Train VR will increase resistance to damage from cyclic freeze/thawing and scaling from deicing salts and will improve plasticity and workability.

Riteks A-Train™ PR is an admixture for entraining air in concrete. A-Train PR introduces millions of uniformly sized spaced air voids throughout the concrete mixture and is far more resistant to freezing and thawing than plain concrete. A-Train PR in hardened concrete reduces permeability and enhances the resistance to surface deterioration caused by de-icing chemicals.
