Prime AO40 and AO90: solution for high-performance concrete and mortars

Prime AO40 and AO90: solution for high-performance concrete and mortars
In the dynamic construction sector, the search for materials that offer greater performance, durability and efficiency is constant. In this context, additives play a crucial role, and Prime AO40 and AO90 solutions emerge as effective options for improving concretes, mortars and polymeric masses.

What are Prime AO40 and AO90?

Prime AO40 and AO90 are anionic surfactants available in our portfolio. The main difference between them lies in the physical state and concentration of the active ingredient: Prime AO40 contains 40% active ingredient and is an aqueous solution, that is, in liquid state, while Prime AO90 contains 90% active ingredient in powder form. This difference allows application versatility, adapting to the specific needs of each project. 

Benefits that transform construction

The use of Prime AO40 and AO90 brings a series of advantages to civil construction, directly impacting the quality and efficiency of works:

  • Increased Performance and Productivity: The aeration promoted by the products improves the handling of concrete and mortar, facilitating handling, application and finishing. This results in greater productivity on the construction site and optimization of execution time.
  • Cost Reduction: Improved management also reduces water consumption and other additives, generating savings in construction costs. Furthermore, the greater durability provided by the products minimizes the need for future maintenance and repairs, representing long-term savings.
  • High Foaming: This characteristic contributes significantly to the stability of air microbubbles in concrete and mortars, guaranteeing the benefits of aeration for longer. 
  • Improvement in Plasticity and Resistance: The addition of micro air bubbles provided by Prime AO40 and AO90 increases the plasticity of the mixtures, making them easier to mold and apply. In addition, aeration also helps to increase the mechanical strength of concrete and mortar, reducing shrinkage and cracking, ensuring greater durability and safety for structures.
  • Effectiveness in Extreme Climates: Aeration minimizes the effects of shrinkage and thermal expansion, protecting structures against damage caused by variations in temperature, humidity and other external agents.
  • Good Wetting Power: This property facilitates the penetration and spread of liquids in the mixture, improving the interaction between the concrete and mortar components and ensuring better homogenization.

Versatile Applications in Civil Construction

The versatility of Prime AO40 and AO90 allows them to be applied at different stages of construction:

  • Aeration of Concrete and Mortars: They promote the incorporation of micro-air bubbles, improving workability, plasticity, and reducing shrinkage and cracking. Aeration also increases the thermal and acoustic insulation of concrete.
  • Aeration of Plastering Masses: Aeration of polymeric masses improves their rheological properties, facilitating application and ensuring better performance, better finish and greater lightness and adhesion.
  • Additives for Waterproofing: They help to disperse pigments and form films, improving the performance and durability of waterproofing products.


Prime AO40 and AO90: A Smart Choice for Building the Future:
In an increasingly demanding market, the search for innovative solutions that offer high performance, durability and efficiency is essential. The Prime AO40 and AO90 products represent a significant advance in this regard, providing numerous benefits for civil construction and contributing to the construction of more resistant, durable and sustainable structures. The use of Prime AO40 and AO90 guarantees the quality and durability of the works.
