ACTION OF AE AGENTS AND WATER-REDUCING AGENTS AND THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM

THERE IS A GREAT MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AIR-ENTRAINING AGENTS AND WATER-REDUCING AGENTS (ALSO KNOWN AS FLUIDEIFIERS). STARTING FROM THE SURFACEACTIVE PROPERTIES, IT SEEMS POSSIBLE TO DEVELOP THE ABSORPTION MECHNISM OF THESE PRODUCTS WITH REGARD TO CEMENT. THIS LEADS TO A CLEAR UNDERSTANDING OF THE DIFFERENCE IN ACTION OF THE PRODUCTS MENTIONED AND GIVES THE POSSIBILITY TO DEFINE THE TWO TYPES OF ADMIXTURES IN SUCH A WAY, THAT NO MISUNDERSTANDING NEEDS TAKE PLACE. /CRIC/FESR/RRL/A/
