Products for Plasticizers
SikaMix® PL-90
A blend of surfactants in an aqueous solution used in the manufacturing of dry-cast concrete products.
Use
Recommended for use in all production sizes of concrete block and pipe manufactured by dry-cast or packer-head methods.
Characteristics and Advantages
- Machine productivity will be increased by more rapid filling of form and mold boxes.
- The internal lubricating properties of Sikamix PL-90 reduce the wear on machinery and extend machine life.
- Moisture absorption rates will be reduced.
- Lighter colors will maintain a more uniform, consistent shade and general product appearance will be improved.
- Edges on pipe and block will be sharper, more defined and less likely to chip.
- Speeds production and enhances product appearance.
Color
Clear liquid.
Packaging
55 gallon (208 liter) drums, 275 gallon (1041 liter) totes and bulk.
SikaMix® PL-100
A blend of surfactants and water reducing polymers in an aqueous solution used in the manufacture of dry-cast concrete products. When added into the concrete mix it acts as a manufacturing aid to speed production and enhance product appearance and strength. Sikamix PL-100 contains no calcium chloride or any other intentionally added chloride containing ingredients. It will not initiate or promote the corrosion of steel in contact with the concrete.
Use
Recommended for use in all production sizes of concrete block and pipe manufactured by dry-cast or packer-head methods.
Characteristics and Advantages
- Machine productivity will be increased by more rapid filling of form and mold boxes.
- The internal lubricating properties of Sikamix PL-100 reduce the wear on machinery and extend machine life.
- Provides a better form swipe on drycast products.
- Lighter colors will maintain a more uniform, consistent shade and general product appearance will be improved.
- Edges on pipe and block will be sharper, more defined and less likely to chip.
- Improves early and final strength of concrete.
- Improves compactability.
- Reduces breakage and culls.
- Extends life of molds and machine parts.
- Enables the use of pozzolans as a cement replacement while providing similar strengths and workability
- Reduces the need for higher curing temperatures while maintaining early strengths.
Packaging
55 gallon (208 liter) drums and bulk.
