SikaPlast® Eco-60

WRRe – Water Reducer Retarder

SikaPlast® Eco-60 is a water reducer retarder specifically formulated to produce concrete with improved workability and extended slump life.

Use of SikaPlast® Eco-60 in concrete improves the following properties. 
  • Good water reduction achieved, results in high density more impermeable concrete.
  • Facilitates an increase in manufactured sand percentage.
  • Increased Ultimate Strength Performance.
  • Improved plastic concrete properties.

Usage

SikaPlast® Eco-60 is suitable to produce high performance concrete. It provides good water reduction, flowability and less “sticky” concrete. The following types of concrete can use SikaPlast® Eco-60:
  • Mixes containing harsh aggregates and manufactured sand
  • Reinforced, precast, prestressed, lightweight, normal weight or pumped concrete.
  • Concrete, where good water reduction and ease of placing and working with tools is needed.
 

Advantages

Technical Information

Concrete mix design

Add SikaPlast® Eco-60 to the initial 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.

Application

Consumption

Recommended dosage

Typical dosage for general concrete production is between 400-1000ml 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.
