Usage

Sika® Block is utilised where an improvement in appearance of the masonry unit is required. This is achieved by creating better slick, improving moldability, enhancing cohesion and increasing early age strength. Sika® Block performs best when added to low slump masonry block mixes. It provides a more efficient utilisation of mixing water by aiding the dispersion of cement particles. Sika® Block will also improve the appearance and density of masonry units.
