Description
Product Description :
A highly effective dual action liquid super-plasticizer for the production of free
flowing concrete or as a substantial water-reducing agent for promoting high early
and ultimate strengths.
It complies with ASTM C494 Type F and BS 5075 Part 3.
Uses Sikament®
-NN is used as a super plasticizer in the production of free flowing
concrete such as:
Slabs and foundations
Walls, columns and piers
Slender components with densely packed reinforcements
Textured surface finishes
It is also used as water-reducing agent leading to high early strength concrete such
as:
Pre-cast concrete elements
Pre-stressed concrete
Bridges and cantilever structures
Concrete where formwork must be removed quickly or early loading applied.
Advantages Sikament®
-NN provides the following properties:
As a super plasticizer:
Workability is greatly improved.
Increased place ability in slender components with dense reinforcement.
Easy placing, less vibrating.
Normal set without retardation.
Significantly reduces the risk of segregation
As a water Reducer:
Up to 20% water reduction.
16 hour compressive strengths increased by up to 100%.
28 day strengths improved by 40%
Increased water tightness.
Chlorides free.
Technical Data
Base Naphthalene Formaldehyde Sulphonate.
Appearance / Colour Brown liquid
Density (at 20°C) 1.200 (ASTM C494)
Packaging 5 and 20 kg pails
220 kg drums
Bulk Tanks packing available upon request
Storage conditions Store in dry conditions, protected from direct sunlight and frost.
Shelf life 12 months from date of production if stored properly in undamaged and unopened
original sealed packing.
Application
Dosage 0.6 – 3 % by weight of cement, depending on desired workability and strength.
Dispensing Sikament®
-NN can be added to the mixing water prior to its addition to the
aggregates or directly to the freshly mixed concrete, where the plasticizing effect is
more pronounced.
For Ready-mix concrete, Sikament®
-NN is added to the concrete immediately prior
to discharge and after further mixing has taken place for three minutes.
