SikaPlast®-102 Plus

MID RANGE WATER REDUCING CONCRETE ADMIXTURE

SikaPlast®-102 Plus is a mid-range water reducer specifically formulated to produce concrete with extended slump life.

Mix designs incorporating SikaPlast®-102 Plus can show economies through cement reduction, whilst still improving the plastic and hardened properties of the concrete. Batching water is reduced without loss of workability.
Typical performance advantages are:
  • Extended slump retention without excessive ratardation
  • Reduced or eliminated need for concrete re-tempering
  • Increased strength and long term durability properties
  • Reduced dimensions of long term shrinkage and creep
  • Improved surface finish
  • Placing in difficult situations is made easier Improved characteristics of concrete with difficult and harsh aggregate or sands

Usage

  • SikaPlast®-102 Plus is used to produce workable concrete with a lower total water content and should be considered wherever high quality concrete is required
  • SikaPlast®-102 Plus is ideal whenever the various handling properties of concrete must be improved and where placing conditions are difficult
  • SikaPlast®-102 Plus is used with all grades of concrete

Application Information

Compatibility

Compatible with other Sika admixtures, but add separately - do not premix. Trials recommended first.

Dispensing

  • SikaPlast®-102 Plus is added to the initial batching water or added with it into the concrete or truck mixer.

When added on site the truck mixer shall rotate its drum at maximum revolutions for at least 1 minute per m3 of concrete and a mimimum of 5 minutes to achieve a uniform mix. The concrete needs to be visually checked for uniform consistence before discharging.

Restrictions

SikaPlast®-102 Plus shall not be added to dry cement.
