Advantages

  • Air-entrainment provides superior resistance to freeze-thaw cycling and salt-scaling resistance
  • Improved pumpability and shootability
  • Improved adhesive and cohesive plastic properties
  • Significantly reduced rebound and low dust levels, resulting in lower material usage
  • Improved ability to build greater thicknesses in a single pass in both vertical and overhead orientations
  • Improved resistance to water wash-out and to sulphate attack
  • Very low permeability and low shrinkage
  • Compatible with integral, pre-applied and/or post-applied corrosion inhibitors
  • Designed with natural normal-density non-reactive aggregates to eliminate potential alkali-aggregate reactivity (AAR)
   OPTIONAL FEATURES & BENEFITS    Set-time / Strength Gain
Liquid accelerator can be added at the nozzle to reduce set time and increase early age strength gain.    Contact your Sika STM Technical Representative for more information.   
Micro-Synthetic Fiber (SY)
  • Micro-Synthetic fibers reduce cracking caused by intrinsic stresses
  • Type III synthetic fiber in accordance with ASTM C1116
  • Grade FR Class I shotcrete in accordance with ASTM C1480
   Corrosion Inhibitor (CI)
  • Corrosion inhibitor protects steel reinforcing and other metals embedded in concrete from corrosion induced by carbonation or chlorides
  • Pre-blended corrosion inhibitor provides the correct dosage to enhance corrosion protection
      Gradation (G2)
  • By default King® MS-W1 is blended to meet ACI 506 “Guide to Shotcrete”, Table 1.1, Gradation No. 1 (No Added Abbreviation)
  • King® MS-W1 G2 is blended to meet ACI 506 “Guide to Shotcrete”, Table 1.1, Gradation No. 2. (G2)

EXAMPLE:
For King® MS-W1 with micro-synthetic fibers and gradation No. 2, the name of this product would be:
King® MS-W1 SY G2.

Application steps

SURFACE PREPARATION

  • Rock Surfaces: All surfaces to be in contact with King® MS-W1 must be free from dust, oil, grease or any other foreign substances that may interfere with the bond of the material. Remove all loose or delaminated rock. Clean the area with potable water, leaving the substrate saturated but free of standing water (SSD).

  • Repair or Rehabilitation: All surfaces to be in contact with King® MS-W1 must be free from dust, oil, grease or any other foreign substances that may interfere with the bond of the material. Remove all loose or delaminated concrete providing a roughened surface and a minimum of ¾ inch (20 mm) clearance behind any corroded reinforcing steel. The perimeter of the repair area should be saw-cut a minimum of ¾ inch (20 mm). Clean the area to be repaired with potable water, leaving the concrete saturated but free of standing water (SSD).

MIXING

Place 75% of required water into mixer and slowly introduce entire bag of King® MS-W1 while the mixer is running. Allow King® MS-W1 to mix for a minimum of five minutes. Slowly add balance of required water until desired slump has been obtained, not exceeding maximum recommended volume of water.

Maximum recommended volume of water is 0.9 US gallon per 66 lb bag (3.4 L per 30 kg bag). Continue mixing and stop only after material has reached a consistent, homogeneous mix.

 

APPLICATION

Apply King® MS-W1 in accordance with the ACI 506 “Guide to Shotcrete” publication.

  

Performance of in-place shotcrete relies heavily upon application techniques. The shotcrete material, equipment and key personnel should be pre-qualified prior to project start-up to ensure optimum quality of in-place shotcrete.

  

OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE

  

  • King® MS-W1 should not be applied when ambient, substrate and material temperatures are below 40 °F (5 °C) or above 95 °F (35 °C).
  • For adverse temperatures, follow ACI recommendations for Cold / Hot Weather Concreting.

  

Contact your Sika STM Technical Representative for more information.

CURING TREATMENT

Curing is essential to optimize physical properties of the shotcrete and minimize plastic shrinkage. King® MS-W1 should be cured immediately after material has reached initial set in accordance with ACI 308 “Guide to Curing Concrete”. Continuously moist cure for a minimum period of 7 days. Alternatively, moist cure for a minimum period of 24 hours and apply a curing compound that complies with ASTM C309. Curing is particularly critical in rapid moisture loss conditions such as high temperatures, high winds and low humidity.

CLEANING OF TOOLS

Clean all tools and equipment after use with water. Once hardened, the product can only be removed mechanically.
