Surfactants are chemical agents that modify the surface properties of liquids and solids in cement concrete. Their addition improves the workability of fresh concrete by reducing surface tension and enhancing dispersion of cement particles. Air-entraining surfactants introduce fine air bubbles, increasing freeze-thaw resistance and durability. At appropriate dosages, surfactants can improve strength and reduce water demand. However, excessive use may lead to reduced strength due to excess air content. The effectiveness of surfactants depends on their type, dosage, and compatibility with other concrete components.
