APPLICATION INFORMATION
Recommended dosage For concrete: 0.3% to 0.7% of the weight of the
cement. For mortar: 1% of the weight of the cement.
BASE VALUE
All technical data referred to in this Product Sheet
are based on laboratory tests. Results obtained
under other conditions may differ from those
presented, due to circumstances that we cannot
control.
COMMENTS
Obtaining watertight concrete requires:
▪ A cohesive concrete composition without holes or
empty
▪ Adequate compaction and vibration
▪ Careful healing
▪ An essential precaution: it is recommended to add
only 75%-80% of the theoretical kneading water
foreseen mind
It is recommended that preliminary tests be carried out to ensure
find the optimal dosage of the adjuvant and
whenever the components of the concrete or the
composition itself are changed. In intense frost, the
adjuvant may freeze, however, once it is slowly
thawed, carefully shaken and homogeneity
checked, it can be used again. For any clarification,
consult the Sika Technical Department.
ECOLOGY, HEALTH AND SAFETY
Users should read the most up-to-date version of
the corresponding Safety Data Sheets (SDS)
before using any product. Safety Data Sheets
provide information and recommendations on the
safe handling, storage and disposal of chemicals

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
DISPENSER
Prepare the concrete with approx.two/3of the expected
water and add the adjuvant, mixing approx. 1 minute/
m3; add water until the desired consistency – maximum
use of the adjuvant and control of the water/binder
ratio. If the process is not viable, add the product to the
determined mixing water and mix the concrete until a
homogeneous mixture is obtained. Do not add the
adjuvant to the dry components (reduced
effectiveness).
In the case of redosing on site: slight dilution of the
adjuvant to reduce its viscosity and facilitate
incorporation. “Pull” the concrete above and slowly
add the admixture, with the drum rotating quickly; If
necessary, reverse the direction of rotation to help
homogenize. Minimum mixing time: 3 minutes.
