Darex® AEA ED

Air entraining admixture

Description

Darex® AEA ED is an air-entraining admixture designed to generate stable air void systems, improving durability, workability, and resistance to freeze-thaw cycles. It is ideal for ready-mix and precast concrete applications requiring enhanced air stability and

durability. This product features a complex blend of organic acid salts, making it well-suited for mixes with long transit times or containing microsilica or fly ash.
