Description
SOLUBILIZED DEFOAMERS FOR CEMENTITIOUS COMPOSITIONS
BACKGROUND
Hydraulic cements, such as Portland cement, are used to form structural formations. Hydraulic cements can be mixed with aggregate to form mortars, which additionally include small aggregate and water, or concrete, which are mortars which additionally include large aggregate.
When working with hydraulic cements, it is desired to increase the slump properties of the initially formed hydraulic cement composition to aid in placement of the composition and to extend the period of flowability in order to provide adequate time to complete placement of the cementitious composition.
Admixtures can be added to hydraulic cement to increase the slump. Additionally, admixtures can be added that also reduce the amount of water required and to produce flowable cementitious compositions. The reduced water content increases the strength and improves the durability of the resulting hydraulic cement formation.
One admixture for increasing the flowability and reducing the water content is a polycarboxylate dispersant. Polycarboxylate dispersants are polymers with a carbon backbone with pendant side chains, wherein at least a portion of the side chains are attached to the backbone through a carboxyl group or an ether group.
Polycarboxylate dispersants are very effective at dispersing and reducing the water content in hydraulic cements.
One drawback to polycarboxylate dispersants is that they have a tendency to entrain air in the cementitious composition during mixing. While some entrained air may be desired for particular applications, such as providing freeze-thaw durability to the cementitious composition, an excess of entrained air is detrimental to the compressive strength of the resulting hydraulic formation.
Generally in the construction industry, non-air entrained cementitious compositions having an air content of less than 3 % is desired, with an air content of less than 2% being preferred. Air entraining admixtures are sometimes used to provide purposeful air contents of 5-8 % which improves the freeze thaw durability of the cementitious mixture. When this is the case, it is desirable to be able to adjust the air content by changing the air entrainer dosage and to have the resulting air remain stable over time.
To overcome the excess entraining of air in cementitious compositions, defoamers have been added to the cementitious mix to reduce the air content to a desired level. Defoamers typically have been included with the polycarboxylate admixture. However, the defoamers used in the prior art have been non-water-soluble compositions used alone. The problem with non-water-soluble defoamers is that they give an inadequate long-term storage stability to the admixture resulting, in phase separation. The polycarboxylate dispersant is generally a water soluble dispersant. When a non-water-soluble defoamer is used in conjunction with a water-soluble dispersant, the mixture separates over time. This requires that the mixture be mixed prior to use. Also, some insoluble defoamers can cause unpredictable air contents over time.
Another technique used in the prior art has been the grafting of the defoamer onto the dispersant molecule.

Hydraulic cements, such as Portland cement, are used to form structural formations. Hydraulic cements can be mixed with aggregate to form mortars, which additionally include small aggregate and water, or concrete, which are mortars which additionally include large aggregate.

This requires that the mixture be mixed prior to use. Also, some insoluble defoamers can cause unpredictable air contents over time.
Another technique used in the prior art has been the grafting of the defoamer onto the dispersant molecule.
The prior art, however, has not shown the combination of a defoamer that is not chemically combined with the polycarboxylate dispersant that is used in conjunction with an amine solubilizing or stabilizing agent.
What is needed in the industry is a combination of a water insoluble defoamer, a dispersant for cementitious compositions, and an amine solubilizing agent that solubilizes or stabilizes the water insoluble defoamer that produces controllable air contents in non-air entrained and air entrained cementitious compositions.
SUMMARY
Amine solubilizing agents can be combined with water insoluble defoamers and dispersants for cementitious compositions to provide an admixture for cementitious compositions that is stable over time.

As used herein, the term cement refers to any hydraulic cement. Hydraulic cements are materials which set when mixed with water. Suitable examples of hydraulic cements include, but are not limited to, portland cement, masonry cement, alumina cement, refractory cement, magnesia cement, calcium sulfoaluminate cement, oil well cement, and mixtures thereof.
Pastes are defined as mixtures composed of a hydraulic cement binder, either alone or in combination with pozzolans such as fly ash, silica fume, calcined clay, or blast furnace slag, and water. Mortars are defined as pastes that additionally include fine aggregate. Concretes additionally include coarse aggregate.
An amine solubilizing agent can be combined with a water insoluble defoamer and a dispersant for cementitious compositions to form an admixture for cementitious compositions. The combination of an amine solubilizing agent with a water insoluble defoamer and a dispersant for cementitious compositions provides an admixture that is stable over time in that there is little or no phase separation between the dispersant and defoamers.
Without being limited to theory, it is theorized that some combinations of an amine solubilizing agent with a water insoluble defoamer form a micellar solution.
A micellar solution is a single, thermodynamically stable, equilibrium phase;
as compared to a macroemulsion, which is a dispersion of large droplets, over 200 to 5,000 nanometers, that contain two or more phases, which are liquids or liquid crystals. Emulsions typically are opaque, thermodynamically unstable, and macro-disperse systems of 0.5 to 10 micron droplet size. Micellar solutions are typically transparent, oil in water systems stabilized by an interfacial layer of surfactants and have a particle size of about 0.01 to about 0.05 microns. The smaller particle size provides for the optical transparency. Further definition of micellar solutions can be found in Microemulsions: Theory and Practice, by L.M. Prince, Academic Press, New York (1977).
Amine solubilizing agents can increase the total aqueous solubilization of oil in an aqueous phase. When a sufficient amount of solubilizer is present in a solution, above the critical micelle concentration, the solubilizer molecules aggregate into micelles. The micelle-water partition coefficient and the molar solubilization ratio can characterize the degree of solubility enhancement achieved by an amine solubilizing agent. The solubilization of the defoamer increases after the amine solubilizing agent reaches the critical micelle concentration. The defoamer diffuses through the aqueous phase to the micelles and dissolves in the core of the micelle. As more solubilizer is added, the shape of the micelles will change to cylinder form. As even more solubilizer is added the shape will eventually change to lamellar. However, the number of micelles will remain about the same throughout these changes.
One method of preparing a stable, micellar solution for cementitious compositions involves adding an amine solubilizing agent to a medium containing an acid wherein the medium can be water or any solution, mixture, or composition that when containing an acid, forms an acid activated amine salt, followed by addition of insoluble defoamer which is solubilized by the amine solubilizing agent, then optionally adding dispersant and any other additives or admixtures.
In another method for producing a stable, micellar solution for cementitious compositions, the amine solubilizing agent, insoluble defoamer, dispersant and any other additives or admixtures can be added in combination to a medium containing an acid, wherein the medium can be water or any solution, mixture, or composition that when containing an acid, forms an acid activated amine salt. By "in combination" is meant the amine solubilizing agent, insoluble defoamer, dispersant and any other additives or admixtures are added to the acidic medium prior to solubilizing the defoamer.
The combination of the amine solubilizing agent, insoluble defoamer, dispersant and any other additives or admixtures typically produces a stable, transparent micellar solution that has an estimated extended stability of several years. Additionally, in the alkaline pH environment of the cementitious composition, the amine solubilizing agent is inactivated to the unprotonated (non-salt) form, and greater defoaming performance is observed.
An activated amine solubilizing agent refers to an amine surfactant that has been reacted with an acid to form a water soluble salt. A deactivated amine solubilizing agent refers to an amine surfactant which is in the unprotonated (non-salt) form.
Examples of the amine solubilizing agents include, but are not limited to, (mono, di, tri) alkyl amine, (mono, di, tri) alkyl ether amine, alkoxylated amine, alkyl amide amine, alkyl imidazoline, alkyl (di or tri,) amine, alkyl (di or, tri) ether amine, alkoxylated (di or tri) amine, ethoxylated alkyl ether amine, or mixtures thereof.

"Solubilized" refers to the aggregation or self assembly micellization of surfactant in water in which a water insoluble species resides and particle sizes are small enough to provide optical transparency. "Soluble" refers to the interaction of an individual molecule with water.
Amine solubilizing agents according to the present invention preferably are at least partially effective themselves as defoamers for cementitious compositions.
But, the combination of amine solubilizing agents and insoluble defoamers provide increased air control in cementitious mixtures over use of amine solubilizing agents alone.
The amount of the dispersant for cementitious compositions that is present in the admixture ranges from about 0 to about 60% based on the weight of dry solids.
The amount of the dispersant for cementitious compositions that is present in a cementitious mixture ranges from about 0% to about 2.0 % primary active ingredient based on the dry weight of cementitious material. Preferably, the amount of dispersant for cementitious compositions that is present in a cementitious mixture ranges from about 0.05 % to about 0.5 % primary active ingredient based on the dry weight of cementitious material.
The amount of amine solubilizing agent that is present in the admixture is at least the amount sufficient to obtain a stable solution. Preferably the amount of amine solubilizing agent that is present in the admixture is from about 0.02%
to about 60% based on the weight of dry solids. Preferably the amount of amine solubilizing agent that is present in a cementitious mixture ranges from about 0.0001% to about 0.2% primary active ingredient based on the dry weight of cementitious material.
The amount of water insoluble defoamer that is present in the admixture ranges from about 0.02% to about 30% based on weight of dry solids.
Preferably, the amount of water insoluble defoamer that is present in the admixture ranges from about 0.25 % to about 10 % based on weight of dry solids. Preferably the amount of water insoluble defoamer that is present in a cementitious mixture ranges from about 0.0001% to about 0.1% primary active ingredient based on the dry weight of cementitious material.
The amount of acid that is present in the admixture is at least the amount sufficient to form an acid activated water soluble amine salt. Preferably the amount of acid that is present in the admixture is from 0 to about 25 % based on the weight of dry solids. Preferably the amount of acid that is present in a cementitious mixture ranges from 0 to about 2 % primary active ingredient based on the dry weight of cementitious material. In some embodiments the acidic medium used to form an acid activated water soluble amine salt is provided by dispersants.
The weight ratio of amine solubilizing agent to insoluble defoamer ranges from about 0.25:1 to about 5:1.
Examples of water insoluble defoamers useful to control the air content in cementitious compositions include, but are not limited to, chemicals based on mineral or vegetable oils, fats and oils, fatty acid esters, any chemical with -OH
(hydroxyl) functionality (such as alcohols, particularly fatty alcohols), ether compounds, phosphoric esters, silicones, polyoxyalkylenes, polymers comprising ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide moieties, liquid hydrocarbons, and acetylenic compounds.
Suitable examples of the water insoluble defoamers useful to control the air content in cementitious compositions include DYNOLTT' 604, SURFYNOL 440, SURFYNOL 104, SURFYNOL 2502, SURFYNOL 420, SURFYNOL DF-75, nonyl phenol, ethoxylated nonyl phenol, tributyl phosphate, triisobutyl phosphate, and polypropylene oxide.
Further examples of water insoluble defoamers include the following:
kerosene, liquid paraffin, animal oil, vegetable oil, sesame oil, castor oil, alkylene oxide adducts thereof, , natural wax, linear or branched fatty alcohols and their alkoxylated derivatives, octyl alcohol, hexadecyl alcohol, acetylene alcohol, acetylinic alcohol alkoxylates, glycols, polyoxyalkylene glycol, polyoxyalkylene amide, acrylate polyamine, silicone oil, silicone paste, silicone emulsion, organic modified polysiloxane, fluorosilicone oil; and polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene adducts. To the extent that the defoamers in the preceding list contain alkylene oxides, reference is made to those (longer chain polyalkylene oxides) that are water insoluble.
Elevated temperature stability for any combination of insoluble defoamer and dispersant for cementitious compositions can be obtained by increasing the level of the amine solubilizing agent or reducing the amount of insoluble defoamer. For example, depending upon the insoluble defoamer level and the effectiveness of the amine solubilizing agent, a temperature increase from 25 C to 45 C may possibly need a 10-20% increase in the amount of amine solubilizing agent to maintain a stable solution.
The admixture of the present invention can be used in combination with any other admixture or additive for cement. Other cement admixtures and additives include, but are not limited to, set retarders, set accelerators, air-entraining or air detraining agents, corrosion inhibitors, any other dispersants for cement, pigments, wetting agents, water soluble polymers, strength enhancing agents, rheology modifying agents, water repellents, and any other admixture or additive that does not adversely affect the properties of the admixture of the present invention.
Other dispersants for cement include, but are not limited to, calcium lignosulfonates, beta naphthalene sulfonates, sulfonated melamine formaldehyde condensates, any other chemical that functions as a dispersant or water reducer or superplasticizer for cement, and mixtures thereof.
Listed below are several examples of admixtures and additives that can be used with the present invention. U.S. Patent No. 5,728,209 to Bury et al.
contains a detailed description of different types of admixtures.
The term air entrainer includes any chemical that will entrain air in cementitious compositions. Air entrainers can also reduce the surface tension of a composition at low concentration. Air-entraining admixtures are used to purposely entrain microscopic air bubbles into concrete. Air-entrainment dramatically improves the durability of concrete exposed to moisture during cycles of freezing and thawing. In addition, entrained air greatly improves a concrete's resistance to surface scaling caused by chemical deicers. Air entrainment also increases the workability of fresh concrete while eliminating or reducing segregation and bleeding. Materials used to achieve these desired effects can be selected from salts of wood resin; (Vinsol resin); some synthetic detergents; salts of sulfonated lignin;
salts of petroleum acids; salts of proteinaceous material; fatty and resinous acids and their salts; alkylbenzene sulfonates; and salts of sulfonated hydrocarbons.
Air entrainers are added in an amount to yield a desired level of air in a cementitious composition. Generally, the amount of air entrainers in a cementitious composition ranges from about 0.2 to about 5.0 fluid ounces per hundred pounds of cementitious material. But this can vary widely due to variations in materials, mix proportion, temperature, and mixing action.
Retarding, or delayed-setting, admixtures are used to retard, delay, or slow the rate of setting of concrete. They can be added to the concrete mix upon initial hatching or sometime after the hydration process has begun. Retarders are used to offset the accelerating effect of hot weather on the setting of concrete, or delay the initial set of concrete or grout when difficult conditions of placement occur, or problems of delivery to the job site, or to allow time for special finishing processes or to aid in the reclamation of concrete left over at the end of the work day.
Most retarders also act as water reducers and can also be used to entrain some air into concrete. The retarder used in the admixture of the present invention can include, but is not limited to an oxy-boron compound, lignin, a polyphosphonic acid, a carboxylic acid, a hydroxycarboxylic acid, polycarboxylic acid, hydroxylated carboxylic acid, fumaric, itaconic, malonic, borax, gluconic, and tartaric acid, lignosulfonates, ascorbic acid, isoascorbic acid, sulphonic acid-acrylic acid copolymer, and their corresponding salts, polyhydroxysilane, polyacrylamide, carbohydrates and mixtures thereof. Illustrative examples of retarders are set forth in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,427,617 and 5,203,919. A
further example of a retarder particularly suited for use in the present invention is a hydration control admixture sold under the trademark DELVO by Master Builders Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio.
Air detrainers are used to decrease the air content in the mixture of concrete.
Dibutyl phthalate, octyl alcohol, water-insoluble esters of carbonic and boric acid, and silicones are some of the common materials that can be used to achieve this effect.
Alkali-reactivity reducers can reduce the alkali-aggregate reaction and limit the disruptive expansion forces in hardened concrete. Pozzolans (fly ash, silica fume), blast-furnace slag, salts of lithium and barium are especially effective.
Bonding admixtures are usually added to portland cement mixtures to increase the bond strength between old and new concrete and include organic materials such as rubber, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, acrylics, styrene butadiene copolymers, and other powdered polymers.
Water-reducing admixtures are used to reduce the amount of mixing water required to produce concrete of a certain slump, to reduce the ratio of water and cementitious material, or to increase slump. Typically, water reducers will reduce the water content of the concrete mixture by approximately up to 15 % .
Superplasticizers are high-range water reducers, or water-reducing admixtures. They are added to concrete to make high-slump, flowing concrete, and thus reduce the water-cementitious material ratio. These admixtures produce large water reduction or great flowability without causing undue set retardation or entrainment of air in mortar or concrete. Among the materials that can be used as superplasticizers are sulfonated melamine formaldehyde condensates, sulfonated naphthalene formaldehyde condensates, certain organic acids, lignosulfonates, and/or blends thereof.
Natural and synthetic admixtures are used to color concrete for aesthetic and safety reasons. These coloring admixtures are usually composed of pigments and include carbon black, iron oxide, phthalocyanine, umber, chromium oxide, titanium oxide and cobalt blue.
Corrosion inhibitors in concrete serve to protect embedded reinforcing steel from corrosion due to its highly alkaline nature. The high alkaline nature of the concrete causes a passive and noncorroding protective oxide film to form on the steel. However, carbonation or the presence of chloride ions from deicers or seawater can destroy or penetrate the film and result in corrosion. Corrosion-inhibiting admixtures chemically arrest this corrosion reaction. The materials most commonly used to inhibit corrosion are calcium nitrite, sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate, certain phosphates or fluorosilicates, fluoroaluminates, amines, organic based water repelling agents, and related chemicals.
Dampproofing admixtures reduce the permeability of concrete that have low cement contents, high water-cementitious material ratios, or a deficiency of fines in the aggregate. These admixtures retard moisture penetration into dry concrete and include certain soaps, stearates, and petroleum products.
Grouting agents, such as air-entraining admixtures, accelerators, retarders, and non-shrink and workability agents, adjust grout properties to achieve a desired result for specific applications. For example, portland cement grouts are used for a variety of different purposes, each of which may require a different agent to stabilize foundations, set machine bases, fill cracks and joints in concrete work, cement oil wells, fill cores of masonry walls, grout pre-stressing tendons and anchor bolts, or fill the voids in pre-placed aggregate concrete.
Gas formers, or gas-forming agents, are sometimes added to concrete and grout in very small quantities to cause a slight expansion prior to hardening.
The amount of expansion is dependent upon the amount of gas-forming material used and the temperature of the fresh mixture. Aluminum powder, resin soap and vegetable or animal glue, saponin or hydrolyzed protein can be used as gas formers.
Permeability reducers are used to reduce the rate at which water under pressure is transmitted through concrete. Silica fume, fly ash, ground slag, natural pozzolans, water reducers, and latex can be employed to decrease the permeability of the concrete. Pozzolan is a siliceous or siliceous and aluminous material, which in itself possesses little or no cementitious value. However, in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture, pozzolan will chemically react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures to form compounds possessing cementitious properties.
Pumping aids are added to concrete mixes to improve pumpability. These admixtures thicken the fluid concrete, i.e., increase its viscosity, to reduce de-watering of the paste while it is under pressure from the pump. Among the materials used as pumping aids in concrete are organic and synthetic polymers, hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) or HEC blended with dispersants, organic flocculents, organic emulsions of paraffin, coal tar, asphalt, acrylics, bentonite and pyrogenic silicas, natural pozzolans, fly ash and hydrated lime.
Bacteria and fungal growth on or in hardened concrete may be partially controlled through the use of fungicidal, germicidal, and insecticidal admixtures.
The most effective materials for these purposes are polyhalogenated phenols, dialdrin emulsions, and copper compounds.
Fresh concrete can sometimes be harsh because of faulty mixture proportions or certain aggregate characteristics such as particle shape and improper grading.
Under these conditions, entrained air which acts like a lubricant, can be used as a workability improving agent. Other workability agents are water reducers and certain finely divided admixtures.
Finely divided mineral admixtures are materials in powder or pulverized form added to concrete before or during the mixing process to improve or change some of the plastic or hardened properties of portland cement concrete.
Portland cement, as used in the trade, means a hydraulic cement produced by pulverizing clinker, consisting essentially of hydraulic calcium silicates, all usually containing one or more of the forms of calcium sulfate as an interground addition with ASTM
types, I, II, III, IV, or V. The finely divided mineral admixtures can be classified according to their chemical or physical properties as: cementitious materials;
such as pozzolans; pozzolanic and cementitious materials; and nominally inert materials.
Cementitious materials are materials that alone have hydraulic cementing properties, and set and harden in the presence of water. Included in cementitious materials are ground granulated blast-furnace slag, natural cement, hydraulic hydrated lime, and combinations of these and other materials. As discussed above, pozzolan is a siliceous or aluminosiliceous material that possesses little or no cementitious value but will, in the presence of water and in finely divided form, chemically react with the calcium hydroxide released by the hydration of portland cement to form materials with cementitious properties. Diatomaceous earth, opaline cherts, clays, shales, fly ash, silica fume, volcanic tuffs and pumicites are some of the known pozzolans. Certain ground granulated blast-furnace slags and high calcium fly ashes possess both pozzolanic and cementitious properties. Natural pozzolan is a term of art used to define the pozzolans that occur in nature, such as volcanic tuffs, pumices, trasses, diatomaceous earths, opaline, cherts, and some shales.
Nominally inert materials can also include finely divided raw quartz, dolomites, limestones, marble, granite, and others. Fly ash is defined in ASTM C-618.
In the construction field, many methods of strengthening concrete have been developed through the years. One modern method involves distributing fibers throughout a fresh concrete mixture. Upon hardening, this concrete is referred to as fiber-reinforced concrete. Fibers can be made of zirconium materials, steel, fiberglass, or synthetic materials, e.g., polypropylene, nylon, polyethylene, polyester, rayon, high-strength aramid, (i.e. KEVLAR ), or mixtures thereof.
A cementitious composition having controlled air content can be formed which comprises cementitious material, water, a water insoluble defoamer, a dispersant for cementitious compositions, and an amine solubilizing agent that solubilizes the water insoluble defoamer. The cementitious material can include fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, pozzolans, air (either entrapped or purposefully entrained), calcined clay, and pigments.
The fine aggregates are materials that pass through a Number 4 sieve (ASTM C125 and ASTM C33), such as natural or manufactured sand. The coarse aggregates are materials that are retained on a Number 4 sieve (ASTM C125 and ASTM C33), such as silica, quartz, crushed round marble, glass spheres, granite, limestone, calcite, feldspar, alluvial sands, or any other durable aggregate, and mixtures thereof.
A method of controlling air in a cementitious composition is also provided according to the present invention which comprises mixing cementitious material, water, a water insoluble defoamer, an amine solubilizing agent that solubilizes the water insoluble defoamer, and optionally a dispersant for cementitious compositions.
Other admixtures and additives are added to the cementitious composition at appropriate times prior or subsequent to the addition of the inventive admixture.
The amount of water added to the cementitious composition is calculated based on the desired water to cementitious material (W/C) ratio. The water to cementitious material ratio typically ranges from about 0.2 to about 0.7 with the water and cementitious material being measured by weight.
SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
Samples of micellar solutions and cementitious compositions were prepared using different insoluble defoamers, solubilizing agents, acids and dispersants for cementitious compositions. The cementitious compositions additionally contained cement and aggregate. The dispersant for cementitious compositions used in the following examples was a polycarboxylate dispersant, which was a polymer with polymeric carboxylate backbone with polyether side chains.
The following tests were used: Slump (ASTM C143) and Air content-volumetric (ASTM C231). Aggregates met the specifications of ASTM C33. The term W/C refers to the water to cementitious material ratio in a cementitious mixture. The term S/A refers to the sand to aggregate ratio by volume.
SOLUTION SAMPLES
To determine which amines would function as solubilizing agents, solutions were prepared that comprised water, an insoluble defoamer, amine solubilizing agent, acid, and optionally polycarboxylate dispersant, shown below in Tables 1 and 2. The amounts of the materials are shown as percent by weight of the solution.
The solutions were prepared initially by combining water, acid, amine solubilizing agent, insoluble defoamer, and optionally polycarboxylate dispersant (Table 2), with continuous stirring with a magnetic stir bar in a glass beaker. Another method of preparation involved adding all of the components to the beaker at the same time and stirring until a clear solution was obtained.
Samples S1 - S51 were prepared as described above with all samples comprising from 3 to 8 % insoluble defoamer, an amine solubilizing agent, sufficient acid to render the amine solubilizing agent active, and no polycarboxylate, dispersant.

Comparison of samples S31 and S33 versus S32 and S34 shows that the ratio of amine solubilizing agent to insoluble defoamer can be optimized in order to obtain a stable solution.
Samples S52 - S73 were prepared as described above with all samples comprising one of four different polycarboxylate dispersants (PC-1,2 & 3 are polymers having shorter (lower molecular weight) PEG side chains and different charge densities and PC-4 has longer PEG side chains), 0.1 to 1.6% insoluble defoamer by weight of solution, amine solubilizing agent, and sufficient acid to render the amine solubilizing agent active.

While solution clarity is preferable for indicating the best long-term solution stability, the nature of the polycarboxylate dispersant can influence solution clarity. However, cloudy solutions with adequate stability can also be obtained using the amine solubilizing agents as demonstrated by Samples S72 and S73.
Samples in Table 3 were prepared as described above with all samples comprising 20% polycarboxylate dispersant. The insoluble defoamer used was the SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) commercially available product S-440 (SURFYNOL 440) from Air Products and Chemicals, Allentown, PA which is a 40% ethylene oxide adduct to 2,4,7,9-tetramethyl-5-decyne-4, 7-diol.

The results show that by increasing the amount of acid in solution, a typical stable transparent mixture is obtained without further increases in amine solubilizing agent.
This is demonstrated by samples S60-S64 which solubilized the insoluble defoamer and had the same amounts of surfactant and defoamer as samples S75-S79, but had a greater amount of acid (5 % compared to 1 % by weight).
CONCRETE PERFORMANCE EXAMPLES
The concrete mixture proportions for the examples shown in Tables 4-8 were based on a 600 lb/yd3 cement factor mixture using Type I portland cement, a sand to aggregate (S/A) ratio of 0.42 to 0.45 using limestone coarse aggregate and natural sand, and a water to cement (W/C) ratio of 0.4 to 0.5. All of the values shown are expressed as percent active material by cement weight in the concrete mixture.
Tables 4 and 5 show the performance of various amine solubilizing agents over a concrete temperature range of 50-70 F, with and without additional defoamer, in cementitious mixtures containing a polycarboxylate dispersant. The mixtures in Table 4 do not contain an air-entraining agent, the mixtures in Table 5 were air-entrained using a commercially available, proprietary product, Micro-Air admixture, manufactured by Master Builders, Inc. Cleveland, Ohio. The amine solubilizing agent dosage was fixed at 0.0091 % by cement weight and the defoamer dosage, when used, was 0.0061 %
by cement weight resulting in an amine solubilizing agent (ASA) to defoamer ratio of 1.5:1. In these examples, each component was added separately to the cementitious mixture at the beginning of the mix sequence.
Table 6 shows air-entrained mixtures using Micro-Air admixture and a low dose of polycarboxylate dispersant comparing the addition of only defoamer, at 0.0032% by weight based on the weight of cement, to that of a combination of amine solubilizing agent and defoamer at a 1:1 ratio. In these examples, each component was added separately to the cementitious mixture at the beginning of the mix sequence.

As shown in Table 4 the air content of non-air-entrained concrete is reduced to a desirable level of less than 2.5 %. In addition, the combination of amine solubilizing agent and defoamer lowered concrete air contents in the presence of an air-entraining agent at multiple levels of polycarboxylate dispersant as shown in Tables 5 and 6.
In Table 4 all the samples containing amine solubilizing agents (Oleyl Amine 2EO, Decyl Amine 2EO, Tallow Amine 2EO) and insoluble defoamer had lower air contents than the samples with amine solubilizing agent alone.
There was little or no difference between the air content of the control (no amine solubilizing agent or insoluble defoamer) and the samples without the insoluble defoamer. This demonstrates that the defoaming potential is governed primarily by the interaction of the insoluble defoamer and the amine solubilizing agent, rather than by the amine solubilizing agent alone.
Table 5 demonstrates that with constant levels of air entrainer and polycarboxylate dispersant the samples with the amine solubilizing agent and insoluble defoamer reduced the air content of the concrete mixture by about one-half as compared to the control (no amine solubilizing agent or insoluble defoamer) and the samples without insoluble defoamer.
Table 6 shows that the greater defoaming performance from the amine solubilizing agent and defoamer combination becomes even more advantageous at low dispersant dosages where air-entraining agent dosages can become so small that they are difficult to deliver reliably under field conditions.
Test solutions that were used to generate the data in Tables 7 and 8 comprised water, an insoluble defoamer, amine solubilizing agent, and acetic acid.
The amounts of the material shown are based on percent by weight of cement.
The solutions were prepared by combining water, acid, amine solubilizing agent, and insoluble defoamer, then stirring with a magnetic stir bar in a glass beaker.
The polycarboxylate dispersant was added as a separate solution to the cementitious mixture.
Table 7 summarizes performance data for an amine solubilizing agent, insoluble defoamer, and polycarboxylate dispersant in non-air-entrained concrete. All but one sample delivered 0.0032% TBP (tributylphosphate) and 0.0048% amine solubilizing agent by weight of cement for an amine solubilizing agent to insoluble defoamer ratio of 1.5:1 unless otherwise stated.
Slump and air content determinations were made after 5 minutes of mixing.

Table 8 summarizes performance data for an amine solubilizing agent, insoluble defoamer, and acetic acid solutions, and a separately added polycarboxylate dispersant in air entrained concrete. One sample (as noted) was prepared as a clear solution of amine solubilizing agent, insoluble defoamer, acetic acid, and polycarboxylate dispersant.

Lower air contents were generally obtained with lower alkoxylate amine solubilizing agent's compared with other amine solubilizing agents. Additionally, the air content of the Oleamidopropyl dimethylamine sample was reduced to an acceptable level when the dosage of air entrainer was reduced.
Therefore, the present invention provides an admixture containing a water insoluble defoamer, an amine solubilizing agent capable of solubilizing the water insoluble defoamer in an acidic medium, and optionally a dispersant for cementitious compositions, for controlling the amount of air in a predictable manner in cementitious compositions.

As used herein, the term cement refers to any hydraulic cement. Hydraulic cements are materials which set when mixed with water. Suitable examples of hydraulic cements include, but are not limited to, portland cement, masonry cement, alumina cement, refractory cement, magnesia cement, calcium sulfoaluminate cement, oil well cement, and mixtures thereof.
Pastes are defined as mixtures composed of a hydraulic cement binder, either alone or in combination with pozzolans such as fly ash, silica fume, calcined clay, or blast furnace slag, and water. Mortars are defined as pastes that additionally include fine aggregate. Concretes additionally include coarse aggregate.
An amine solubilizing agent can be combined with a water insoluble defoamer and a dispersant for cementitious compositions to form an admixture for cementitious compositions. The combination of an amine solubilizing agent with a water insoluble defoamer and a dispersant for cementitious compositions provides an admixture that is stable over time in that there is little or no phase separation between the dispersant and defoamers.
Without being limited to theory, it is theorized that some combinations of an amine solubilizing agent with a water insoluble defoamer form a micellar solution.
A micellar solution is a single, thermodynamically stable, equilibrium phase;
as compared to a macroemulsion, which is a dispersion of large droplets, over 200 to 5,000 nanometers, that contain two or more phases, which are liquids or liquid crystals. Emulsions typically are opaque, thermodynamically unstable, and macro-disperse systems of 0.5 to 10 micron droplet size. Micellar solutions are typically transparent, oil in water systems stabilized by an interfacial layer of surfactants and have a particle size of about 0.01 to about 0.05 microns. The smaller particle size provides for the optical transparency. Further definition of micellar solutions can be found in Microemulsions: Theory and Practice, by L.M. Prince, Academic Press, New York (1977).
Amine solubilizing agents can increase the total aqueous solubilization of oil in an aqueous phase. When a sufficient amount of solubilizer is present in a solution, above the critical micelle concentration, the solubilizer molecules aggregate into micelles. The micelle-water partition coefficient and the molar solubilization ratio can characterize the degree of solubility enhancement achieved by an amine solubilizing agent. The solubilization of the defoamer increases after the amine solubilizing agent reaches the critical micelle concentration. The defoamer diffuses through the aqueous phase to the micelles and dissolves in the core of the micelle. As more solubilizer is added, the shape of the micelles will change to cylinder form. As even more solubilizer is added the shape will eventually change to lamellar. However, the number of micelles will remain about the same throughout these changes.
One method of preparing a stable, micellar solution for cementitious compositions involves adding an amine solubilizing agent to a medium containing an acid wherein the medium can be water or any solution, mixture, or composition that when containing an acid, forms an acid activated amine salt, followed by addition of insoluble defoamer which is solubilized by the amine solubilizing agent, then optionally adding dispersant and any other additives or admixtures.
In another method for producing a stable, micellar solution for cementitious compositions, the amine solubilizing agent, insoluble defoamer, dispersant and any other additives or admixtures can be added in combination to a medium containing an acid, wherein the medium can be water or any solution, mixture, or composition that when containing an acid, forms an acid activated amine salt. By "in combination" is meant the amine solubilizing agent, insoluble defoamer, dispersant and any other additives or admixtures are added to the acidic medium prior to solubilizing the defoamer.
The combination of the amine solubilizing agent, insoluble defoamer, dispersant and any other additives or admixtures typically produces a stable, transparent micellar solution that has an estimated extended stability of several years. Additionally, in the alkaline pH environment of the cementitious composition, the amine solubilizing agent is inactivated to the unprotonated (non-salt) form, and greater defoaming performance is observed.
An activated amine solubilizing agent refers to an amine surfactant that has been reacted with an acid to form a water soluble salt. A deactivated amine solubilizing agent refers to an amine surfactant which is in the unprotonated (non-salt) form.
Examples of the amine solubilizing agents include, but are not limited to, (mono, di, tri) alkyl amine, (mono, di, tri) alkyl ether amine, alkoxylated amine, alkyl amide amine, alkyl imidazoline, alkyl (di or tri,) amine, alkyl (di or, tri) ether amine, alkoxylated (di or tri) amine, ethoxylated alkyl ether amine, or mixtures thereof.

Amine solubilizing agents according to the present invention preferably are at least partially effective themselves as defoamers for cementitious compositions.
But, the combination of amine solubilizing agents and insoluble defoamers provide increased air control in cementitious mixtures over use of amine solubilizing agents alone.
The amount of the dispersant for cementitious compositions that is present in the admixture ranges from about 0 to about 60% based on the weight of dry solids.
The amount of the dispersant for cementitious compositions that is present in a cementitious mixture ranges from about 0% to about 2.0 % primary active ingredient based on the dry weight of cementitious material. Preferably, the amount of dispersant for cementitious compositions that is present in a cementitious mixture ranges from about 0.05 % to about 0.5 % primary active ingredient based on the dry weight of cementitious material.

to about 60% based on the weight of dry solids. Preferably the amount of amine solubilizing agent that is present in a cementitious mixture ranges from about 0.0001% to about 0.2% primary active ingredient based on the dry weight of cementitious material.

Examples of water insoluble defoamers useful to control the air content in cementitious compositions include, but are not limited to, chemicals based on mineral or vegetable oils, fats and oils, fatty acid esters, any chemical with -OH
(hydroxyl) functionality (such as alcohols, particularly fatty alcohols), ether compounds, phosphoric esters, silicones, polyoxyalkylenes, polymers comprising ethylene oxide and/or propylene oxide moieties, liquid hydrocarbons, and acetylenic compounds.
Suitable examples of the water insoluble defoamers useful to control the air content in cementitious compositions include DYNOLTT' 604, SURFYNOL 440, SURFYNOL 104, SURFYNOL 2502, SURFYNOL 420, SURFYNOL DF-75, nonyl phenol, ethoxylated nonyl phenol, tributyl phosphate, triisobutyl phosphate, and polypropylene oxide.

To the extent that the defoamers in the preceding list contain alkylene oxides, reference is made to those (longer chain polyalkylene oxides) that are water insoluble.
Elevated temperature stability for any combination of insoluble defoamer and dispersant for cementitious compositions can be obtained by increasing the level of the amine solubilizing agent or reducing the amount of insoluble defoamer. For example, depending upon the insoluble defoamer level and the effectiveness of the amine solubilizing agent, a temperature increase from 25 C to 45 C may possibly need a 10-20% increase in the amount of amine solubilizing agent to maintain a stable solution.
The admixture of the present invention can be used in combination with any other admixture or additive for cement. Other cement admixtures and additives include, but are not limited to, set retarders, set accelerators, air-entraining or air detraining agents, corrosion inhibitors, any other dispersants for cement, pigments, wetting agents, water soluble polymers, strength enhancing agents, rheology modifying agents, water repellents, and any other admixture or additive that does not adversely affect the properties of the admixture of the present invention.
Other dispersants for cement include, but are not limited to, calcium lignosulfonates, beta naphthalene sulfonates, sulfonated melamine formaldehyde condensates, any other chemical that functions as a dispersant or water reducer or superplasticizer for cement, and mixtures thereof.
Listed below are several examples of admixtures and additives that can be used with the present invention. U.S. Patent No. 5,728,209 to Bury et al.
contains a detailed description of different types of admixtures.
The term air entrainer includes any chemical that will entrain air in cementitious compositions. Air entrainers can also reduce the surface tension of a composition at low concentration. Air-entraining admixtures are used to purposely entrain microscopic air bubbles into concrete. Air-entrainment dramatically improves the durability of concrete exposed to moisture during cycles of freezing and thawing. In addition, entrained air greatly improves a concrete's resistance to surface scaling caused by chemical deicers. Air entrainment also increases the workability of fresh concrete while eliminating or reducing segregation and bleeding. Materials used to achieve these desired effects can be selected from salts of wood resin; (Vinsol resin); some synthetic detergents; salts of sulfonated lignin;
salts of petroleum acids; salts of proteinaceous material; fatty and resinous acids and their salts; alkylbenzene sulfonates; and salts of sulfonated hydrocarbons.
Air entrainers are added in an amount to yield a desired level of air in a cementitious composition. Generally, the amount of air entrainers in a cementitious composition ranges from about 0.2 to about 5.0 fluid ounces per hundred pounds of cementitious material. But this can vary widely due to variations in materials, mix proportion, temperature, and mixing action.
Retarding, or delayed-setting, admixtures are used to retard, delay, or slow the rate of setting of concrete. They can be added to the concrete mix upon initial hatching or sometime after the hydration process has begun. Retarders are used to offset the accelerating effect of hot weather on the setting of concrete, or delay the initial set of concrete or grout when difficult conditions of placement occur, or problems of delivery to the job site, or to allow time for special finishing processes or to aid in the reclamation of concrete left over at the end of the work day.
Most retarders also act as water reducers and can also be used to entrain some air into concrete. The retarder used in the admixture of the present invention can include, but is not limited to an oxy-boron compound, lignin, a polyphosphonic acid, a carboxylic acid, a hydroxycarboxylic acid, polycarboxylic acid, hydroxylated carboxylic acid, fumaric, itaconic, malonic, borax, gluconic, and tartaric acid, lignosulfonates, ascorbic acid, isoascorbic acid, sulphonic acid-acrylic acid copolymer, and their corresponding salts, polyhydroxysilane, polyacrylamide, carbohydrates and mixtures thereof. Illustrative examples of retarders are set forth in U.S. Patent Nos. 5,427,617 and 5,203,919. A
further example of a retarder particularly suited for use in the present invention is a hydration control admixture sold under the trademark DELVO by Master Builders Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio.
Air detrainers are used to decrease the air content in the mixture of concrete.
Dibutyl phthalate, octyl alcohol, water-insoluble esters of carbonic and boric acid, and silicones are some of the common materials that can be used to achieve this effect.
Alkali-reactivity reducers can reduce the alkali-aggregate reaction and limit the disruptive expansion forces in hardened concrete. Pozzolans (fly ash, silica fume), blast-furnace slag, salts of lithium and barium are especially effective.
Bonding admixtures are usually added to portland cement mixtures to increase the bond strength between old and new concrete and include organic materials such as rubber, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinyl acetate, acrylics, styrene butadiene copolymers, and other powdered polymers.
Water-reducing admixtures are used to reduce the amount of mixing water required to produce concrete of a certain slump, to reduce the ratio of water and cementitious material, or to increase slump. Typically, water reducers will reduce the water content of the concrete mixture by approximately up to 15 % .
Superplasticizers are high-range water reducers, or water-reducing admixtures. They are added to concrete to make high-slump, flowing concrete, and thus reduce the water-cementitious material ratio. These admixtures produce large water reduction or great flowability without causing undue set retardation or entrainment of air in mortar or concrete. Among the materials that can be used as superplasticizers are sulfonated melamine formaldehyde condensates, sulfonated naphthalene formaldehyde condensates, certain organic acids, lignosulfonates, and/or blends thereof.
Natural and synthetic admixtures are used to color concrete for aesthetic and safety reasons. These coloring admixtures are usually composed of pigments and include carbon black, iron oxide, phthalocyanine, umber, chromium oxide, titanium oxide and cobalt blue.
Corrosion inhibitors in concrete serve to protect embedded reinforcing steel from corrosion due to its highly alkaline nature. The high alkaline nature of the concrete causes a passive and noncorroding protective oxide film to form on the steel. However, carbonation or the presence of chloride ions from deicers or seawater can destroy or penetrate the film and result in corrosion. Corrosion-inhibiting admixtures chemically arrest this corrosion reaction. The materials most commonly used to inhibit corrosion are calcium nitrite, sodium nitrite, sodium benzoate, certain phosphates or fluorosilicates, fluoroaluminates, amines, organic based water repelling agents, and related chemicals.
Dampproofing admixtures reduce the permeability of concrete that have low cement contents, high water-cementitious material ratios, or a deficiency of fines in the aggregate. These admixtures retard moisture penetration into dry concrete and include certain soaps, stearates, and petroleum products.
Grouting agents, such as air-entraining admixtures, accelerators, retarders, and non-shrink and workability agents, adjust grout properties to achieve a desired result for specific applications. For example, portland cement grouts are used for a variety of different purposes, each of which may require a different agent to stabilize foundations, set machine bases, fill cracks and joints in concrete work, cement oil wells, fill cores of masonry walls, grout pre-stressing tendons and anchor bolts, or fill the voids in pre-placed aggregate concrete.
Gas formers, or gas-forming agents, are sometimes added to concrete and grout in very small quantities to cause a slight expansion prior to hardening.
The amount of expansion is dependent upon the amount of gas-forming material used and the temperature of the fresh mixture. Aluminum powder, resin soap and vegetable or animal glue, saponin or hydrolyzed protein can be used as gas formers.
Permeability reducers are used to reduce the rate at which water under pressure is transmitted through concrete. Silica fume, fly ash, ground slag, natural pozzolans, water reducers, and latex can be employed to decrease the permeability of the concrete. Pozzolan is a siliceous or siliceous and aluminous material, which in itself possesses little or no cementitious value. However, in finely divided form and in the presence of moisture, pozzolan will chemically react with calcium hydroxide at ordinary temperatures to form compounds possessing cementitious properties.
Pumping aids are added to concrete mixes to improve pumpability. These admixtures thicken the fluid concrete, i.e., increase its viscosity, to reduce de-watering of the paste while it is under pressure from the pump. Among the materials used as pumping aids in concrete are organic and synthetic polymers, hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) or HEC blended with dispersants, organic flocculents, organic emulsions of paraffin, coal tar, asphalt, acrylics, bentonite and pyrogenic silicas, natural pozzolans, fly ash and hydrated lime.
Bacteria and fungal growth on or in hardened concrete may be partially controlled through the use of fungicidal, germicidal, and insecticidal admixtures.
The most effective materials for these purposes are polyhalogenated phenols, dialdrin emulsions, and copper compounds.
Fresh concrete can sometimes be harsh because of faulty mixture proportions or certain aggregate characteristics such as particle shape and improper grading.
Under these conditions, entrained air which acts like a lubricant, can be used as a workability improving agent. Other workability agents are water reducers and certain finely divided admixtures.
Finely divided mineral admixtures are materials in powder or pulverized form added to concrete before or during the mixing process to improve or change some of the plastic or hardened properties of portland cement concrete.
Portland cement, as used in the trade, means a hydraulic cement produced by pulverizing clinker, consisting essentially of hydraulic calcium silicates, all usually containing one or more of the forms of calcium sulfate as an interground addition with ASTM
types, I, II, III, IV, or V. The finely divided mineral admixtures can be classified according to their chemical or physical properties as: cementitious materials;
such as pozzolans; pozzolanic and cementitious materials; and nominally inert materials.
Cementitious materials are materials that alone have hydraulic cementing properties, and set and harden in the presence of water. Included in cementitious materials are ground granulated blast-furnace slag, natural cement, hydraulic hydrated lime, and combinations of these and other materials. As discussed above, pozzolan is a siliceous or aluminosiliceous material that possesses little or no cementitious value but will, in the presence of water and in finely divided form, chemically react with the calcium hydroxide released by the hydration of portland cement to form materials with cementitious properties. Diatomaceous earth, opaline cherts, clays, shales, fly ash, silica fume, volcanic tuffs and pumicites are some of the known pozzolans. Certain ground granulated blast-furnace slags and high calcium fly ashes possess both pozzolanic and cementitious properties. Natural pozzolan is a term of art used to define the pozzolans that occur in nature, such as volcanic tuffs, pumices, trasses, diatomaceous earths, opaline, cherts, and some shales.
Nominally inert materials can also include finely divided raw quartz, dolomites, limestones, marble, granite, and others. Fly ash is defined in ASTM C-618.
In the construction field, many methods of strengthening concrete have been developed through the years. One modern method involves distributing fibers throughout a fresh concrete mixture. Upon hardening, this concrete is referred to as fiber-reinforced concrete. Fibers can be made of zirconium materials, steel, fiberglass, or synthetic materials, e.g., polypropylene, nylon, polyethylene, polyester, rayon, high-strength aramid, (i.e. KEVLAR ), or mixtures thereof.
A cementitious composition having controlled air content can be formed which comprises cementitious material, water, a water insoluble defoamer, a dispersant for cementitious compositions, and an amine solubilizing agent that solubilizes the water insoluble defoamer. The cementitious material can include fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, pozzolans, air (either entrapped or purposefully entrained), calcined clay, and pigments.
The fine aggregates are materials that pass through a Number 4 sieve (ASTM C125 and ASTM C33), such as natural or manufactured sand. The coarse aggregates are materials that are retained on a Number 4 sieve (ASTM C125 and ASTM C33), such as silica, quartz, crushed round marble, glass spheres, granite, limestone, calcite, feldspar, alluvial sands, or any other durable aggregate, and mixtures thereof.
A method of controlling air in a cementitious composition is also provided according to the present invention which comprises mixing cementitious material, water, a water insoluble defoamer, an amine solubilizing agent that solubilizes the water insoluble defoamer, and optionally a dispersant for cementitious compositions.
Other admixtures and additives are added to the cementitious composition at appropriate times prior or subsequent to the addition of the inventive admixture.
The amount of water added to the cementitious composition is calculated based on the desired water to cementitious material (W/C) ratio. The water to cementitious material ratio typically ranges from about 0.2 to about 0.7 with the water and cementitious material being measured by weight.
SPECIFIC EMBODIMENTS OF THE INVENTION
Samples of micellar solutions and cementitious compositions were prepared using different insoluble defoamers, solubilizing agents, acids and dispersants for cementitious compositions. The cementitious compositions additionally contained cement and aggregate. The dispersant for cementitious compositions used in the following examples was a polycarboxylate dispersant, which was a polymer with polymeric carboxylate backbone with polyether side chains.
The following tests were used: Slump (ASTM C143) and Air content-volumetric (ASTM C231). Aggregates met the specifications of ASTM C33. The term W/C refers to the water to cementitious material ratio in a cementitious mixture. The term S/A refers to the sand to aggregate ratio by volume.
SOLUTION SAMPLES
To determine which amines would function as solubilizing agents, solutions were prepared that comprised water, an insoluble defoamer, amine solubilizing agent, acid, and optionally polycarboxylate dispersant, shown below in Tables 1 and 2. The amounts of the materials are shown as percent by weight of the solution.
The solutions were prepared initially by combining water, acid, amine solubilizing agent, insoluble defoamer, and optionally polycarboxylate dispersant (Table 2), with continuous stirring with a magnetic stir bar in a glass beaker. Another method of preparation involved adding all of the components to the beaker at the same time and stirring until a clear solution was obtained.
Samples S1 - S51 were prepared as described above with all samples comprising from 3 to 8 % insoluble defoamer, an amine solubilizing agent, sufficient acid to render the amine solubilizing agent active, and no polycarboxylate, dispersant.

The cloudy solution of the control (S37) which did not have an amine solubilizing agent demonstrates that the insoluble defoamer was not stabilized and separation was immediate. Comparison of samples S31 and S33 versus S32 and S34 shows that the ratio of amine solubilizing agent to insoluble defoamer can be optimized in order to obtain a stable solution.
Samples S52 - S73 were prepared as described above with all samples comprising one of four different polycarboxylate dispersants (PC-1,2 & 3 are polymers having shorter (lower molecular weight) PEG side chains and different charge densities and PC-4 has longer PEG side chains), 0.1 to 1.6% insoluble defoamer by weight of solution, amine solubilizing agent, and sufficient acid to render the amine solubilizing agent active.

However, cloudy solutions with adequate stability can also be obtained using the amine solubilizing agents as demonstrated by Samples S72 and S73.
Samples in Table 3 were prepared as described above with all samples comprising 20% polycarboxylate dispersant. The insoluble defoamer used was the SUBSTITUTE SHEET (RULE 26) commercially available product S-440 (SURFYNOL 440) from Air Products and Chemicals, Allentown, PA which is a 40% ethylene oxide adduct to 2,4,7,9-tetramethyl-5-decyne-4, 7-diol.

The results show that by increasing the amount of acid in solution, a typical stable transparent mixture is obtained without further increases in amine solubilizing agent.
This is demonstrated by samples S60-S64 which solubilized the insoluble defoamer and had the same amounts of surfactant and defoamer as samples S75-S79, but had a greater amount of acid (5 % compared to 1 % by weight).
CONCRETE PERFORMANCE EXAMPLES
The concrete mixture proportions for the examples shown in Tables 4-8 were based on a 600 lb/yd3 cement factor mixture using Type I portland cement, a sand to aggregate (S/A) ratio of 0.42 to 0.45 using limestone coarse aggregate and natural sand, and a water to cement (W/C) ratio of 0.4 to 0.5. All of the values shown are expressed as percent active material by cement weight in the concrete mixture.
Tables 4 and 5 show the performance of various amine solubilizing agents over a concrete temperature range of 50-70 F, with and without additional defoamer, in cementitious mixtures containing a polycarboxylate dispersant. The mixtures in Table 4 do not contain an air-entraining agent, the mixtures in Table 5 were air-entrained using a commercially available, proprietary product, Micro-Air admixture, manufactured by Master Builders, Inc. Cleveland, Ohio. The amine solubilizing agent dosage was fixed at 0.0091 % by cement weight and the defoamer dosage, when used, was 0.0061 %
by cement weight resulting in an amine solubilizing agent (ASA) to defoamer ratio of 1.5:1. In these examples, each component was added separately to the cementitious mixture at the beginning of the mix sequence.
Table 6 shows air-entrained mixtures using Micro-Air admixture and a low dose of polycarboxylate dispersant comparing the addition of only defoamer, at 0.0032% by weight based on the weight of cement, to that of a combination of amine solubilizing agent and defoamer at a 1:1 ratio. In these examples, each component was added separately to the cementitious mixture at the beginning of the mix sequence.

As shown in Table 4 the air content of non-air-entrained concrete is reduced to a desirable level of less than 2.5 %. In addition, the combination of amine solubilizing agent and defoamer lowered concrete air contents in the presence of an air-entraining agent at multiple levels of polycarboxylate dispersant as shown in Tables 5 and 6.
In Table 4 all the samples containing amine solubilizing agents (Oleyl Amine 2EO, Decyl Amine 2EO, Tallow Amine 2EO) and insoluble defoamer had lower air contents than the samples with amine solubilizing agent alone.
There was little or no difference between the air content of the control (no amine solubilizing agent or insoluble defoamer) and the samples without the insoluble defoamer. This demonstrates that the defoaming potential is governed primarily by the interaction of the insoluble defoamer and the amine solubilizing agent, rather than by the amine solubilizing agent alone.
Table 5 demonstrates that with constant levels of air entrainer and polycarboxylate dispersant the samples with the amine solubilizing agent and insoluble defoamer reduced the air content of the concrete mixture by about one-half as compared to the control (no amine solubilizing agent or insoluble defoamer) and the samples without insoluble defoamer.
Table 6 shows that the greater defoaming performance from the amine solubilizing agent and defoamer combination becomes even more advantageous at low dispersant dosages where air-entraining agent dosages can become so small that they are difficult to deliver reliably under field conditions.
Test solutions that were used to generate the data in Tables 7 and 8 comprised water, an insoluble defoamer, amine solubilizing agent, and acetic acid.
The amounts of the material shown are based on percent by weight of cement.
The solutions were prepared by combining water, acid, amine solubilizing agent, and insoluble defoamer, then stirring with a magnetic stir bar in a glass beaker.
The polycarboxylate dispersant was added as a separate solution to the cementitious mixture.
Table 7 summarizes performance data for an amine solubilizing agent, insoluble defoamer, and polycarboxylate dispersant in non-air-entrained concrete. All but one sample delivered 0.0032% TBP (tributylphosphate) and 0.0048% amine solubilizing agent by weight of cement for an amine solubilizing agent to insoluble defoamer ratio of 1.5:1 unless otherwise stated.
Slump and air content determinations were made after 5 minutes of mixing.
