Sika® Plastiment® BV-35

WR-Water reducer admixture

Sika® Plastiment® BV-35 is a special formulated water reducer admixture based on selected lignosulfonates, which provides a cost effective solution in enhancing the water reduction without retardation.

  • Improve workability and finishability
Higher slump can be achieved without further addition of water.
  • Easier and quicker placing and compaction.
  • Excellent Strength Performance
The water reduction properties as well as the dispersion characteristic enhance the strength gained at all ages.
  • Homogeneous concrete with less shrinkage requiring lower pumping pressure
  • Improve plastic concrete properties
Sika® Plastiment® BV-35 enables concrete to achieve internal cohesiveness with improved placement properties. By having better cohesion, segregation and bleeding can be minimised.
  • Retardation without loss in strength (dependant on dosage rate)

Usage

Sika® Plastiment® BV-35 is used to improve the efficiency of the water content in concrete mixes, to achieve increased workability without loss of strength or to increase strength without loss of workability. It can be used for pumped and structural concrete. The period during which the concrete can be placed is also extended.

Consumption

Recommended dosage

Recommended dosage is 350 ml ± 100 ml per 100 kg of total cementitious material. This dosage can be increased to 600 ml ± 100 ml per 100 kg of total cementitious material to improve water reduction and increase setting time. Optimum dosage should be determined by site trials with the particular concrete mix design.
