Is Air Deliberately Added as an Ingredient in Concrete Plants?

šŸ’” The Answer

  • Concrete plants list 'air' among their inputs alongside water, sand, and cement.
  • This refers to entrained air, which creates tiny bubbles to improve freeze-thaw resistance.
  • Air is not just incidental; it is a controlled component of the concrete mix.
  • The amount of air is carefully measured and adjusted during batching.
