Description Uses Plastiment®-PR 200 M is ideal for producing high-quality concrete in various applications, including: Ready-mixed concrete that requires high workability Site-batched concrete Concrete exposed to high temperatures Concrete placed under difficult conditions Concrete with long transport distances Advantages Plastiment®-PR 200 M offers the following benefits: Maintains good workability at high concrete temperatures Reduces water content without compromising workability Increases concrete strength Minimizes shrinkage and creep Improves surface finish Tests and Approvals Plastiment®-PR 200 M meets the requirements of ASTM C 494 Type B & D, depending on the dosage used. Product Information Form: Liquid Appearance / Color: Brown Packaging: 1000-liter flow bins; bulk supply in tanker trucks available upon request Storage Storage conditions: Store in a dry area at temperatures between 5ºC and 35ºC. Protect from direct sunlight and freezing. Shelf Life: At least 12 months from the production date when stored in original, unopened packaging. Technical Data Chemical Base: Selected organic polymers Density: Approximately 1.18 kg/lt Chloride Content: None (EN 934-2) Application Details Dosage: 0.3% – 0.9% by weight of cement. It is recommended to conduct trial mixes to determine the exact dosage needed. Compatibility: Plastiment®-PR 200 M can be combined with other Plastiment and Sikament admixtures and is compatible with sulfate-resistant cement. For any special usage, consult Technical Services. Dispensing: Add Plastiment®-PR 200 M to the gauging water before mixing with the dry ingredients. Concrete Placing Follow standard concrete production and placing practices when using Plastiment®-PR 200 M. Refer to the relevant industry standards for guidance. Curing Proper curing of fresh concrete is essential, particularly in hot weather, to prevent plastic and drying shrinkage. Use Sika Antisol® products or wet hessian as curing agents. Cleaning Clean all equipment and tools with water immediately after use. Application Notes / Limitations When using Plastiment®-PR 200 M, ensure that an appropriate mix design is selected, and local materials are trialed. If overdosing occurs (within reasonable limits), the retarding effect will increase. During this period, keep the concrete moist to prevent premature drying, and expect an increase in air entrapment. Plastiment®-PR 200 M should not be added to dry cement. Perform suitability tests on fresh concrete before pouring.
