  SikaPlast®-300 GP does not contain intentionally added chlorides.

Low Range Water Reducing Applications: SikaPlast®-500 can be used as an economical low dosage admixture for conventional slump concrete, where water reduction up to 5% is required. SikaPlast®-500 shows similar setting properties as a reference concrete. By reducing water SikaPlast®-500 improves durability and increases compressive strength.   Mid Range Water Reducing Applications: Mid range application will be beneficial especially in ready mix applications. At a medium dosage, SikaPlast®-500 can be used as a cost effective mid range water reducing admixture or simply as a water reducing admixture for production of conventional slump concrete. When used as a mid range water reducing admixture, water reduction up to 12 % can be obtained. This application is ideal for use with lean, harsh ready mix concrete mixes or concrete containing fly ash. SikaPlast®-500 will improve workability and finishability.    High Range Water Reducing Applications: When used as a high range water reducing admixture, water reduction up to 20 % can be obtained. The superplasticizing action allows for the production of high slump flowing concrete with excellent workability that can be placed with minimum vibration even at a low water/cement ratio. The dispersing action of SikaPlast®-500 maximizes cement hydration efficiency and improves concrete’s early and long term compressive strengths. The combined water reducing and superplasticizing action in all three cases provide the
following benefits:

• Higher early and ultimate strengths.
• Increased slump improves ease of placement and reduces labor costs.
• Reduced water/cementitious ratio reduces permeability and increases durability.

   SikaPlast®-500 does not contain calcium chloride or any other intentionally added chlorides and will not contribute to corrosion on steel reinforcement present in the concrete.

Mid Range Water Reducing Applications: Mid range application will be beneficial especially in ready mix applications. At a lower dosage, Sikament® AFM can be used as a cost effective mid range water reducing admixture or simply as a water reducing admixture for production of conventional slump concrete. When used as a mid range water reducing admixture, water reduction up to 15 % can be obtained. This application is ideal for use with lean, harsh ready mix concrete mixes or concrete containing flyash. Sikament® AFM will improve workability and finishability.    High Range Water Reducing Applications: When used as a high range water reducing admixture, water reduction up to 25 % can be obtained. The superplasticizing action allows for the production of high slump flowing concrete with excellent workability that can be placed with minimum vibration even at a low water/cement ratio. The dispersing action of Sikament® AFM maximizes cement hydration efficiency and improves concrete’s early and long term compressive strengths.    The combined water reducing and superplasticizing action provide the following benefits:

• Higher early and ultimate strengths for cost effective high strength concrete and earlier structural use of concrete.
• Increased slump improves workability and reduces labor costs.
• Full flow action aids in pumping and reduces need for vibration.
• Greater concrete density reduces permeability and increases durability.

    Sikament® AFM does not contain calcium chloride or any other intentionally added chlorides and will not contribute to corrosion on steel reinforcement present in the concrete.

• Enables water reduction.
• Improves workability retention without significantly delaying the set time of concrete.
• Improves early and later age strength and durability of concrete.
• Minimizes potential for bleeding and segregation in concrete.
• Improves pumpability and reduces stickiness in concrete.
• Improves finishability and surface appearance of concrete.

   Sikament®-475 does not contain calcium chloride or any other intentionally added chlorides and will not contribute to corrosion on steel reinforcement present in the concrete.
