Descriptio

AIRPEG S is a ready-mixed concrete additive that drives air while distributing air, thanks to special air-driving components, in correct and evenly distributed dimensions.

Domain

• In all ready-mixed concrete classes described in EN 206 and EN 13515.

• Concrete of light aggregates.

• Production of ready-to-use plaster.

• Concrete with low unit weight

• Concrete that will be exposed to the freeze/thaw effect

• Roads, canals, concrete airport runways and field concrete

• Low-subsidence concrete

• Compacted concrete Features

• It increases the resistance of concrete to freeze-thaw by drawing air into fresh concrete.

• It increases the maneuverability of fresh concrete and facilitates pumping.

• It prevents decomposition, increases cohesion.

• It reduces the amount of mixing water without loss of maneuverability ability.

• It does not contain chloride ions. It does not cause corrosion of the reinforcements.

• It allows the creation of concrete mixtures with low water/cement ratios.

• It increases the resistance of hardened concrete to environmental impact conditions.

Utilisatio

• AIRPEG S, is available in liquid form for fresh concrete. It is recommended to join it in the mixing water at the concrete production plant.

Standards

• AIRPEG S: EN 934-2 Table 5 ASTM C 260

Quantity of use

It is recommended to use the total binder in the mixture design in a range of 0.05% to 2% by weight for all concrete grades described in EN 206 and EN 13515. This ratio varies depending on the cement, aggregate, mineral additive, water components used in the design of concrete mixtures, as well as the desired properties of fresh and hardened concrete. Therefore, laboratory tests should be performed based on the expected properties of fresh concrete and hardened concrete before the utilization rate is determined and the mixing ratio should be determined based on these experiments. The strength of concrete should decrease as the amount of air to be drained increases with the increase in the dosage of the additive to be used.

Storage conditions and

The product should be stored above 5 °C. In case of freezing, the product must be mechanically mixed carefully after thawing. Available in 25 kg barrels, 200 kg barrels, 1,000 kg IBC tanks and bulk.

Compatibility

AIRPEG S is compatible with PLASTPEG, Airpeg, Retardpeg, Proofpeg, Specialpeg construction chemicals from PEGASUS. The PEGASUS Technical Support Unit should be contacted for information on compliance with other additives. If more than one additive is to be used in the desired mixture design, each additive must be added separately to the mixture.

Precaution of use

Avoid contact of the product with the eyes or skin, in case of contact with them, rinse thoroughly with water. In case of contact with the eyes, wash immediately and thoroughly with water and then consult a specialist. Use gloves, a protective mask and goggles during use. For more information, refer to the product’s Safety Data Sheet (MSDS).
