Super Air Plus, an air entrainment agent, has been a successful and popular product for Ready-Mix concrete producers.
Our products, when properly used, can help Ready Mix producers achieve the goal of being more profitable, have better fleet utilization, have better satisfied customers.
Super Air Plus can increase the air content, to be able to meet the specifications, and provide a durable concrete.
Air-entrained concrete contains microscopic air bubbles that are distributed throughout the mix.
Entrained air will dramatically improve the durability of concrete and increase its resistance to surface scaling caused by freeze-thaw cycles and chemical deicers. 0:01:25.000,0:01:38.000 Most concrete is specified to contain a certain amount of entrained air, usually between 4 to 6 percent.
But sometimes, the ready-mix truck arrives at the job and the air content is too low.
You're on a job site, you're truck comes in- the inspector's there. He tested the air, your air's off. Your truck's out of compliance. It's rejected. He is expecting you to remove the truck from the job site.
You have 9 yards of concrete that's a waste.
Not only will you lose the load, but the contractor is going to have to wait for you to be able to bring concrete that meets the specifications.
You may already have two or three trucks on the road to the job site that are also not going to meet specifications... So the question is what are you going to do now?
Super Air Plus is an easy to use air entraining agent designed specifically for job-site addition.
Super Air Plus is a vinsol-resin based admixture that has been in commercial use for more than 15 years.
It is very predictable in its performance, compatible with other air entraining admixtures and very easy to add to ready-mix trucks.
Many ready-mix companies have introduced the product into their daily operations with incredible results.
We started having our drivers carry it around in their trucks and if the inspector or laboratory technician notified us of air content that was out of spec, typically low,
the drivers would be instructed to go ahead and add the Super Air Plus product. The drivers like using this product because it's simple to use,
Tear open the outer packaging and take out the inner packet and throw it in the back the drum. It's very simple, easy to use.
By using a 5 dollar bag of Super Air Plus we're able to save a thousand dollar load of concrete. That translates to 70 to 100 thousand a year, savings, and not losing concrete due to low air content.
According to the National Ready Mix Concrete Association, more than 5% of all concrete is being wasted every year.
By using Fritz-Pak admixtures you can reduce your waste and increase the efficiency of your operations.
You can bring our products, add them to the concrete, fix it and deliver it to meet the specifications. All of this leads into savings.
It leads into better utilization of your resources, better utilization of your equipment, reduce cost of your labor and your driver time less chance of accidents going back and forth. Better job and better performance.
