Sikament® ECO WR

Sikament® ECO WR

Mid-range Water Reducer

Sikament® ECO WR is a mid-range water reducer specifically formulated to produce concrete with improved water reduction . Sikament® ECO WR combines the benefits of normal water reducer and high range water reducer with controlled ease on achieving and maintaining 120-160 mm slumps.

Use of Sikament® ECO WR in concrete improves the following properties. 
  • Higher water reduction achieved, results in high density more impermeable concrete.
  • Normal setting at higher doses compared with other water reducers.
  • Improved shrinkage and creep behaviour.
  • Increased Ultimate Strength Performance.
  • Improved plastic concrete properties.
  • Increases service life of structures.

Usage

Sikament® ECO WR is suitable to produce high performance concrete. It helps in greater water reduction, flowability and less “sticky” concrete. The following types of concrete can use Sikament® ECO WR
  • Reinforced, precast, prestressed, lightweight, normal weight or pumped concrete.
  • Concrete, where higher reduced water contents with easy of placing and working with tools is needed.

Application

Application Information

Dispensing

Add Sikament® ECO WR to the batching water. For best result, we recommend thorough mixing of wet concrete at 60 seconds per cubic metre of concrete.

Add the remaining gauging water progressively after at least 2/3 wet mixing time to achieve the desired consistency.

Compatibility

Sikament® ECO WR can be used in conjuction with all Sika Concrete Admixtures, except Sikament® NN.
Consumption

Recommended dosage

Typical dosage for general concrete production is between 400-1000 ml per 100kg of total cementitious material. Optimum dosage depends on site condition, job conditions, mix ingredients and desired plastic and hardened properties. Laboratory and field trials are essential in determining the optimum dosage.
