Sikament® ECO-3 W

Sikament® ECO-3 W

WRAc - Water Reducing and Set-Accelerator

Sikament® ECO-3 W is a water reducer and non-chloride accelerator admixture based on modified copolymer technology, which provides a cost effective solution in accelerated soft concrete.

  • Improved workability and finishability.
  • Higher slump can be achieved without further addition of water.
  • Improved setting times of concrete in winter conditions.
  • Improved plastic concrete properties
  • Enables concrete to achieve internal cohesiveness with improved placement properties.
  • Lower bleed rates.

Usage

Sikament® ECO-3 W is used to accelerate the finishing and setting time of concrete when ambient temperatures are low. (Set times are better than the times associated with the action of normal water reducing admixtures). Early age development of concrete and mortar mixes is improved.  

Advantages

  • Improved workability and finishability.
  • Higher slump can be achieved without further addition of water.
  • Improved setting times of concrete in winter conditions.
  • Improved plastic concrete properties
  • Enables concrete to achieve internal cohesiveness with improved placement properties.
  • Lower bleed rates.

Application

Application Information

Dispensing

Sikament® ECO-3 W should be added to the gauging water or poured simultaneously into the concrete mixer. For optimum utilisation of the high water reduction, we recommend thorough mixing at a minimal wet mixing time of 1 minute/cubic metre.

The addition of the remaining gauging water to fine tune concrete consistency may be started after 2/3 of the wet mixing time, to avoid surplus water in concrete.

Compatibility

Sikament® ECO-3 W can be used in conjunction with many Sika Concrete admixtures, except Sikament NN.

When using Sikament® ECO-3 W, site trials are always recommended to achieve the best results.
Consumption

Recommended dosage

Typical dosage is 600ml per 100kg of total cementitious material. Sikament® ECO-3 W can be dosed between 350 ml to 1200 ml per 100 kg of total cementitious material to improve water reduction and setting time. Optimum dosage should be determined by site trials with the particular concrete mix design.
