wet concrete. Compared to other air entraining agents like e.g. sodium alkyl sulfates
Hostapur OS liq is more efficient and requires lower dosages to produce the same air
content.
On particular application for Hostapur OS liq are road pavements made of concrete.
Hostapur OS liq is added to the concrete mixture to produce microfoam with an average
diameter of below 300 μm and stabilizes the required 4 – 5% air after short agitation of 30
seconds. The Dosage of Hostapur OS liq varies between 0,01 – 0,03% based on the
cement or approximately 0,03 – 0,10 kg/m3 wet concrete.
