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.

Application

Application Information

Dispensing

Sika® Plastiment®-190 is added to the gauging water or added with it into the concrete mixer.
To take advantage of the optimum water reduction, a wet mixing time, which is depending on the mixing conditions and mixer performance, of at least 60 seconds is recommended.
To avoid excess water in the concrete, the final dosage must begin only after 2/3 of the wet mixing time.

Compatibility

Sika® Plastiment®-190 may be combined with many other Sika products.
Important: Always conduct trials before combining products in specific mixes and contact our Technical Service Department for information and advice about any specific combinations.
Consumption

Recommended Dosage

Typically 0.3–0.8 % by weight of cement. Exact dose should be confirmed by trial and may fall outside this range.
