Surfactant Used for Concrete (AE Agent / Rheology Modifier)

Abstract

Concrete is a key material that supports social infrastructure. It's value and function are greatly enhanced by interfacial scientific action of agents added in small amounts. In this paper, the use of low molecular weight surfactant, like “AE agent (Air Entraining agent)”, which improves handling and durability of concrete, as well as “Rheology Modifier”, which adds unique viscoelasticity to slurry, will be shown.
