Abstract
Abstract A composition for producing air-entrained concrete which includes hydrolyzed casein, water, and a polyethenoxy type surface active agent. Polyvinyl alcohol also can be added to mixture. These compositions in foamed or unfoamed form are mixed with hydraulic cement and water to produce air-entrained concrete or concrete with normal amounts of air.
