Description

DESCRIPTION of SikaPlast 400
SikaPlast 400 is a polycarboxylate based superplasticizer developed particularly for use in ready mixed
concrete to give extended slump retention and high strength development of normal grade concrete mixes. SikaPlast 400 is suitable for use in concrete mixes incorporating pozzolanic materials such as GGBS, PFA and microsilica. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.
USES
▪ Ready mixed concrete
▪ High flow concret
▪ High strength concrete
▪ Slabs
▪ Foundations
▪ Walls
▪ Columns and piers
▪ Piles
▪ Pre-stressed concrete
▪ Bridges and cantilever structures
CHARACTERISTICS / ADVANTAGES
SikaPlast 400 acts by surface absorption on the cement particles producing steric hindrance as well as
electrostatic repulsion between the binder particles which results in higher dispersion, flow and retention.
SikaPlast 400 provides the following beneficial properties: Substantial improvement in workability without increased water ▪
▪ Low risk of segregation
Normal set without retardation (within the dosage
limit)
▪
▪ Improved density and surface finish
▪ Improved water tightness
Excellent solution for continuous concrete casting of
deep elements
▪
Does not contain chlorides or other steel corrosion
promoting ingredients
▪
APPROVALS / CERTIFICATES
SikaPlast 400 follows the requirements of ASTM
C494; Types D and G and EN 934-2
