SikaPlast®-102

MID RANGE WATER REDUCING CONCRETE ADMIXTURE

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

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

Application

Application Information

Dispensing

  • SikaPlast®-102 is generally added to the initial batching water, prior to the addition of aggregates
  • For best results delay the dosage into the water until the cement and air entraining admixtures have been added and initially mixed with water
  • SikaPlast®-102 may be added to the mixed concrete if required, however further mixing should take place for at least five minutes.
Consumption

Recommended Dosage

400 ‐ 800 ml.  Typical dosage: 600 ml / 100 kg.

Trial mixes are recommended to establish exact dosage rates required to suit individual requirements. If assistance is required please contact the Sika Technical Department.
