X-Air™ LE

Description

In cementing, foam created during mixing can cause pump cavitation and decrease cement density, consequently impacting the strength of the cement.

Hexion’s X-Air™ LE liquid cement antifoam is designed to prevent air entrainment and control foam in cement systems, improving accuracy of slurry density readings.   The system utilizes a unique chemistry that is more efficient than the competition and applicable in a variety of cement systems. 

Key Features and Typical Benefits

• Decreases foam formation in cement systems
• Effective in systems containing polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)
• Liquid formulation allows for on-the-fly addition and adjustments
• Can be used at ambient temperatures less than -40°F
