SikaPlast®-300 E

Mid-range water reducing admixture with superior slump retention

SikaPlast®-300 E has been designed to provide both water reduction and excellent slump-keeping
properties. SikaPlast®-300 E improves the rheology and pumpability of concrete produced using manufactured sand.

  • Water reduction, leading to improved strength and durability of the hardened concrete.
  • Significant improvement in the slump-keeping ability of fresh concrete. This reduces the risk of rejected loads due to premature slump loss and maintains concrete workability for extended pumping or placing requirements.
  • Improvement in pumpability of concrete made using manufactured sand.
  • Facilitates an increase in the percentage of manufactured or poor-quality natural sand in the concrete.
  • Delivers softer concrete.

Application

Application Information

Dispensing

SikaPlast®-300 E should be added with the initial batch water. Never add to dry mix. For best results we recommend thorough mixing of the wet concrete for at least 60 seconds per cubic metre.

Compatibility

SikaPlast®-300 E is compatible with all Sika concrete admixtures, except for Sikament® NN.
Consumption

Recommended dosage

Typical dosage for general concrete production is between 300 to 800 ml/100 kg of total binder content. Optimum dosage depends on site conditions,mix ingredients, and desired plastic and hardened concrete properties. Laboratory and field trials shall be conducted to determine the required dosage of SikaPlast®-300 E.
