WATER REDUCING ADMIXTURE

Sika® Plastocrete®-10 N is a carbohydrate-based, normal range water reducing admixture. Sika® Plastocrete®-10 N meets the requirements of ASTM C494/AASHTO M 194, Type A, B, & D.

Sika® Plastocrete®-10 N provides the greatest level of retardation within the Sika Plastocrete product line. Various levels of water reduction can be achieved by adjusting the dosage rate of Sika® Plastocrete®-10 N.    At lower dosage rates Sika® Plastocrete®-10 N provides mild water reduction and workability. At higher dosage rates Sika® Plastocrete®-10 N provides moderate water reduction up to 10% and workability retention with extended set times.   Sika® Plastocrete®-10 N allows for the production of concrete that can typically be placed with reduced vibration. Sika® Plastocrete®-10 N is effective for use with lean, harsh concrete mixes or concrete containing supplementary cementitious materials.   Sika® Plastocrete®-10 N provides the following benefits:    ▪ Reduced water cement ratios produce more durable, dense concrete, ▪ Increased slump and workability improves efficiency of labor and reduces labor costs,
▪ Improved finishing characteristics, ▪ Increased strengths allow faster structural use of concrete.
