SikaPlast 600I/1

High Performance Superplastisizer cum Retarder

Description SikaPlast 600I/1 is a third generation superplasticizer for concrete and mortar. It meets the requirements for superplasticizers according to SIA 162 (1989), prEN 934-2, IS 9103 – 1999 and ASTM C 494.

Uses SikaPlast 600I/1 is suitable for the production of precast concrete. SikaPlast 600I/1 facilitates extreme water reduction, excellent flowability with the same time optimal cohesion and highest self compacting behaviour. SikaPlast 600I/1 is used for the following types of concrete � Precast concrete � Selfcompacting � Concrete wth highest water reduction (up tp 30%) � High strength concrete with prolonged slump retention High water reduction, excellent flowability, coupled with high earlystrengths, have a positive influence on the above mentioned applications.

Advantages SikaPlast 600I/1 acts by different mechanisms. Through surface adsorption and sterical seperation effect on the cement particles, in parallel to the hydration process, the following properties are obtained: Strong self compacting behaviour, therefore suitable for the production of self compacting concrete(S.C.C) Extremely high water reduction ( resulting in high density and strengths) Excelent flowability(resulting in highly reduced placing and compacting efforts) Improved shrinkage and creep behaviour Reduced rate of carbonation of the concrete SikaPlast 600I/1 does not contain chloride or other, steel corrosion promoting ingredients. It may therefore be used without any restrictions for reinforced- and prestressed – concrete construction.
