Usage

Sika® FerroGard®-901 S is designed for use in all types of conventional concrete that is exposed to chlorides from marine environments and deicing salts, as well as concrete that specifies the use of corrosion inhibiting admixtures.   Sika® FerroGard®-901 S can be used in the production of SCC (Self-Consolidating Concrete) and conventional slump concrete, and is effective in concrete containing Portland Limestone Cement (PLC/Type IL) and supplementary cementitious materials.

Advantages

Sika® FerroGard®-901 S is an active dual-purpose corrision inhibiting admixture that protects exposed steel by forming a continuous, protective barrier film. This barrier film provides corrosion protection from chlorides and other oxidative elements.     By effectively inhibiting corrosion Sika® FerroGard®-901 S will extend the service life of steel-reinforced concrete structures.   Sika® FerroGard®-901 S does not affect the rheological properties of plastic concrete or the properties of hardened concrete. Sika® FerroGard®-901 S does not contain intentionally added chlorides.

Technical Information

Concreting Guidance

The standard rules of good concreting practice, concerning production and placing, are to be followed.
Laboratory trials shall be carried out before concreting on site, especially when using a new mix design or producing new concrete components.
Fresh concrete must be cured properly and curing applied as early as possible.

Test Results

Frozen Sika® FerroGard®-901 S can be used after slow thawing at room temperature, followed by intense stirring.

Application

Application Information

Mixing

Measure the required quantity manually or by automated dispenser. Add Sika® FerroGard®-901 S directly into the freshly mixed concrete, or as an integral material in the batching cycle. Do NOT mix with dry cement. Sika® FerroGard®-901 S may be dispensed on-site directly prior to placement. Care must be taken to mix thoroughly. When used in combination with other admixtures dispense each admixture separately into the mix. The mix water should be reduced by an equivalent amount of Sika® FerroGard®-901 S used in the concrete.

 

Compatibility: Sika® FerroGard®-901 S can be used in combination with other Sika admixtures and can be successfully used in mix designs utilizing supplementary cementitious materials.
Consumption

Recommended Dosage

The typical dosage rate of Sika® FerroGard®-901 S is 2 gallons per cubic yard for non-severe environments and 3 gallons per cubic yard for severe chloride or marine exposure.

 

Trial mixes with the actual materials should be conducted to determine the required dosage for optimum performance.

 

To the extent specialized materials are used, extreme ambient temperatures are encountered, or for other unusual project conditions, dosage rates outside the typical range may be required. For dosage rates outside the typical range, please contact your local Sika representative or the Sika Technical Services Department at 1-800-933-7452.
