0.05 litre per 100 kg of total cementitious material is recommended.
CONAIR
A liquid air entraining agent for use in concrete and mortar mixes. Conair complies with ASTM C260-81 for air entraining admixtures.
It is used to improve the workability, cohesion, and durability of concrete and mortar by the entrainment of minute air bubbles of controlled size and spacing, uniformly distributed throughout the mix.

0.5-3.0 litre per 100 kg of total cementitious material.
CORMIX SP1/A
A highly effective water reducing superplasticizer, an extremely powerful deflocculating agent, it operates by dispersing cement in to its primary particles which dramatically increases the flow characteristics of the cement paste. Complies with ASTM C494 and EN 934-2 Table 7, Type A and F.
Used to produce flowing concrete with high early & ultimate strength or in the production of precast concrete that requires substantial water reductions and very high early strengths. Large cement saving possible in precast concrete.
1.0 – 3.0 litre per 100 kg of total cementitious material.
CORMIX SP1/B
A highly effective water reducing superplasticiser and an extremely powerful de-flocculating agent, it operates by dispersing cement in to its primary particles which dramatically increases the flow characteristics of the cement paste. Complies with ASTM Type A&F and BSEN 934-2.
For using both in precast concrete & R.M.C. applications. Uses include to produce flowing concrete in congested areas, slabs and foundations, large pours, beams, columns and precast elements.
