DSA 110
Description
DarCole Synthetic Air 110 is a synthetic surfactant derived from fatty acids used as an air entraining concrete admixture . DSA 110 introduces millions of uniformly sized ultra stable air bubbles. These air bubbles act as ball bearings in the mix, greatly improving the plasticity and workability of concrete.
Advantage
- Far more resistant to freeze/thaw cycles
- More resistance to surface deterioration caused by de-icing chemicals
- Improves workability and plasticity creating a smoother, more even finished surface
- Reduces water content necessary, surface bleed, and segregation, and honeycombing
- Improves durability of hardened concrete

DNF 847 Air Entrainment
Description
DarNfill 847 is an air entraining, water reducing admixture that can be used in normal concrete or flowable fill. DNF 847 creates millions of uniformly sized stable air bubbles, increasing freeze/thaw durability, and can be used in CLSM (Controlled Low Strength Material), making it highly flowable and easily excavatable. DNF 847 stabilizes air content, and eliminates bleedwater & shrinkage; while maintaining suspension of cement throughout the highly flowable mix. DNF 847 also enhances the plastic and hardened properties of CLSM. DNF 847 is specially formulated for fast setting CLSM composed of Type C Flyash.
Advantage
- Increases flow ability, fills voids, and lowers water content
- Increases freeze/thaw durability
- Generates stable air content up to 35%
- Eliminates segregation, surface bleed, and shrinkage
- Reduces water content of CLSM up to 40%
- Increases yield of CLSM up to 35%
- Easily excavatable CLSM
- Accelerates Set time for fast setting CLSM containing Type C Flyash
