Foaming issues w/ Eclipse?

[BTBARBOBOT]

Anyone having trouble with Eclipse floor causing a foamy mix?

[Dana Andrews]

What are you using in your mix? Pigment? Super?

[BTBARBOBOT]

Portland. Silica#30. AR glass. Adva555. Eclipse floor

[BTBARBOBOT]

i’m not sure. Been using 555 longer than Eclipse and never had issues before.

[BTBARBOBOT]

Nope, been keeping it pretty simple with #30 silica and some 3/8 agg

Eclipse is an SRA. Or is it both?
I use it and have not had foaming issue's.
The only time I had foaming issues was due to too much supper and high pigment load's.
What loading do you use it at?

[BTBARBOBOT]

2% of h20

What make is Delta perforemance superplacticzer? I had terrible foaming when mixed with moxie 1800 superadmix.

Delta says used 1/2 lb water reducer with my 35 lb white portland, 75 lb sand and 40lb gravel 15 lb water and16 oz moxie /cu foot mix.

do I need to start adding a defoaming adjent?

How to I upload a photo, I have it selected, cropped and ready to go what next??

75 sand 25 gravel  not 40

looks as though most people are 50percent cement to sand agg. amy I too low at 30 percent??

[Noah Johnson]

No, you don't want 50% for a nice old school mix.   I don't know if the Moxie is playing into it too, but if it's Flowz by Delta that you're using you're likely over dosing at .5lb to 35lb cement.  My mix is different than yours but I'd be in the broad range of 1/8 to 1/4 lb to 35 portland, and about 10.5-11 lb water.  Moxie water based too?  You've got way too much water.  Must've been soup in addition to the foam?  Trying cutting both water and Flowz before looking into adding a defoamer.

I noticed a lot of foaming when I loaded Flowz and eclype at high levels. You really need to drop the flowz down and put the eclype in right at the end of your mixing. Do you get much bleed water when you cast?
