Arabian Chemical Industries ISOLA AEA
Arabian Chemical Industries ISOLA AEA is a ready to use concentrated liquid admixture for entraining air into fresh concrete. ISOLA AEA is specially formulated to produce stable and evenly distributed air voids within the concrete matrix resulting in improved workability, cohesiveness and durability. ISOLA AEA does not contain any chlorides.

- Usage
ISOLA AEA is used in normal or zero slump concrete structures like roads, dams & reservoirs, airport runways/ taxi ways, precast concrete pipes and other mass structures.
- Dosage
Starting dosage is from 0.05 to 0.4 liter per 100 kilogram cement. Optimum dosage should first be determined bycarrying out trial mixes. It should be noted that increasing air content lowers the strength of concrete. For a given/ designed air content in concrete, quantity is varied and subject to many factors such as ingredients, ambient temperature, grading of sand/ aggregates, etc

- Packing
- ISOLA AEA is packed in 20 and 210 liter drum.
- Advantages
Improved workability and durability.; Gives stable air void system with uniform void size and spacing.; Improves cohesiveness of mix reducing segregation.; Reduce water content without loss in workability.; Resistant to de-icing salts; Increases placeability of zero slump concrete.
- Dispencing
ISOLA AEA should be mixed first with water and added to damp aggregates. Cement is added last. Any other admixture should be added separately.
- Shelf LIfe
Has a minimum shelf life of twelve (12) months when stored incovered condition.

- Ready-to-Use Products
- Compatibility
ISOLA AEA is compatible with ISOPLAS BT, GN, BV and PS. However, each admixture should be addedseparately to the concrete mixture.
- Specification
ISOLA AEA conforms with the requirement of ASTM, C 260 and BS EN 934-2.

- Safety and Health
ISOLA AEA is mildly alkaline and may cause some skin irritation to sensitive persons. It is always advisable to wear impermeable rubber gloves and eye goggles when handing chemicals. If accidentally spilled on the skin or eyes, wash immediately with plenty of clean water. If irritation persist, seek medical attention. ISOLA AEA is nonflammable.
