Sika® Plastocrete®-160 A

Sika® Plastocrete®-160 A is a hardening accelerator with a plasticizing, water-reducing effect, for ready-mixed concrete. By deflocculating the cement grains it gives a more complete cement hydration: the concrete stays workable with less mixing water, hardens faster and reaches the strength needed for removing formwork sooner. Advantages on fresh concrete Deflocculates the cement grains, whatever the type of cement Better workability with less mixing water Advantages on hardened concrete Higher early strength: faster formwork removal (the day after pouring, even in cool weather, following good concreting practice) Higher mechanical strength through its water-reducing effect Reduced capillary absorption Areas of application Ready-mixed concrete (added to the mixing water or into the mixer) Building sites and light precast: shorter handling times Buried mass concrete Optimizing the cement content Main features Hardening accelerator with a water-reducing effect Dosage: 0.2 to 0.35% of the weight of cement or binder (about 0.20 to 0.34 litre per 100 kg of cement) Concreting in cold weather possible, following good concreting practice Packaging: 5 kg and 10 kg cans, 220 kg drum, 1000 kg IBC Shelf life: 2 years in the unopened original packaging
