Sika® Air
`Air Entraining Admixture
Description Sika Air admixture is an aqueous solution of organic materials.
Sika Air meets the requirements of ASTM C-260 for air entraining admixtures.
Applications Sika Air is recommended for use whenever air entrained concrete is desired.
Ready-mix, precast and block producers can achieve predictable and uniform
entrained air contents in concrete, even where harsh lean mixes are used or
fly-ash is added to the concrete.
Advantages Durability:
^ Air entrainment is recognized as the most effective prevention against con-
crete scaling in exposed environments. Air entrained concrete delivers par-
ticular benefits in the form of increased concrete durability. This is important
in colder climates where frost and freeze-thaw cycles can cause scaling and
damage to the concrete surface.
^ Air entraining agents help to prevent scaling by creating microscopic air
voids that water trapped in the concrete can expand into when the concrete
freezes, thus preventing cracks caused by the natural expansion. Entrained
air voids in the concrete will also increase durability in harsh environments
where concrete is exposed to deicing salts, marine salts and sulfates.
Workability and Placeability:
• Workability and placeability are also improved by the lubricating action of the
microscopic bubbles in the concrete. Concrete will flow better, and bleeding
and shrinkage will be reduced because less water is needed to obtain the
desired workability.
• Sika Air provides stable and predictable air contents in concrete, with uni-
form air void spacing throughout the concrete matrix.
How to Use
Dosage rates for Sika Air will typically fall between 0.5 and 3 fl. oz. per 100
lbs. (32 - 195 ml/100 kg) of cementitious to entrain between 4 and 6 percent
air. Higher air contents may be obtained by increasing the dosage rate.
Dosage rates will vary depending on the air content required for a particular
project. Typically air contents will be specified in the range of 4 to 8 percent by
volume.
Other factors that may affect the amount of air entrained into the concrete
including total cementitious content, type of pozzolanic materials, sand grada-
tion, salt/clay in aggregates, temperature and water content. The use of fly
ash, particularly high LOI fly ash, can result in a higher dosage of air entrain-
ment. Sika recommends that trial mixes be performed whenever material or
any other changes are made that may affect the amount of entrained air.
In mixes requiring a lower or higher amount dosage rate, please contact your
local regional Sika office or Sika technical service department at 1-800-933-
7452 for further information.

Measure the required quantity per batch manually or with automatic dispenser
equipment. Add Sika Air to mixing water or sand. Do not mix with dry cement.
When Sika Air is used in combination with other admixtures, care must be
taken to dispense each admixture separately into the mix.
Combination with Other Admixtures:
Combination with other admixtures, particularly water reducers and retarders, may
increase the amount of entrained air in the mix. Air contents should be checked with
an air-meter after hatching and dosage adjustments made at the concrete plant.
Packaging Sika Air is available in 55 gallon drum (208 liter), 275 gallon totes (1040 liters)
drums and bulk delivery.

Description Plastocrete 161 is a lignin polymer-type water-reducing admixture.
Plastocrete 161 meets the requirements of ASTM C-494 Types A, B and D.
Applications Plastocrete 161 is recommended for use in all applications where high quality
concrete with superior workability is required.
Advantages Plastocrete 161 water reducing admixture provides an economical and highly
effective means of reducing the amount of mixing water required to produce
concrete of a certain slump by acting as a dispersant for the cement particles
in the mix.
Through this dispersing action more of the surface area of the cement particles
is available for early hydration. The more cement particles hydrated by contact
with the mixing water, the greater the compressive strength of the concrete.
Plastocrete 161 is formulated as a Type A water reducer to allow up to 10%
water reduction and maximize the benefits of increased hydration in both the
hardened and plastic states.
^ Reduced water content required to achieve desired slump, increases
compressive and flexural strengths and allows the use of more economi-
cal mixes.
^ Improved paste quality makes concrete easier to pump and finish.
^ Consistent normal setting times throughout the recommended dosage.
^ Lower water cement ratios provide decreased permeability and increased
durability.
^ Plastocrete 161 does not contain intentionally added chlorides and will
not initiate nor promote the corrosion of steel in the concrete.
How to Use
Dosage Dosage rates will vary depending on the material used, ambient conditions
and the requirements of a specific project.
For general concreting applications, Sika recommends a dosage rate between
2-4 fl.oz./100 lbs. (130-260 ml/100 kg) of cementitious materials for normal
setting characteristics. Dosage rates of 4-6 fl.oz./100 lbs. (260-390 ml/100 kg)
of cementitious materials are recommended for applications where higher
water reduction is needed as well as extended workability and prolonged
setting times.
Dosage rates outside the recommended range may be used where
~z ~ specialized materials such as microsilica are specified, extreme ambient

' r, conditions are encountered or unusual project conditions require special con-
~~~~'~ sideration. In this case please contact your local regional Sika office or Sika
~~~
=_> technical service department at 1-800-933-7452 for further information.
Plastocrete 161 is added at the concrete plant. Measure required quantity
manually or by automated dispenser. Add into the water line at the batch plant
or to the mixer at the end of the batching cycle.
Combination with other Admixtures: Plastocrete 161 works effectively as a
single admixture or in combination with other admixtures in the Sika System.
When air entrained concrete is specified, Sika recommends the use of Sika air
entraining admixtures.
When used in combination with other admixtures, care must be taken to
dispense each admixture separately into the concrete. Do not mix with
dry cement.
' Packaging Plastocrete 161 is supplied in 55 gallon (208 liter) drums and bulk delivery.
Storage and Shelf-life Plastocrete 161 should be stored at above 40°F (5°C). If frozen, thaw and

Plastiment
Plastiment®
Water Reducing and Retarding Admixture
Description Plastiment is awater-reducing and retarding admixture.
Plastiment meets the requirements of ASTM C-494 Types B and D.
Applications Plastiment is recommended for use whenever high quality concrete with pre-
dictable and controlled set times is desired. Use in flatwork and horizontal or
vertical slipform placements where a superior surface finish is required.
Advantages
Plastiment is highly effective in hot weather concreting to offset the accelerat-
ing effects of high ambient temperatures by slowing the hydration reaction and
controlling the hydration heat. Concrete workability is enhanced and a supe-
riorsurface finish is obtained.
In mass concrete pours Plastiment controls temperature rise and reduces the
risk of thermal cracking.
^ Initial set times are delayed, allowing time for proper placement and fin-
ishing without cold joints in hot weather conditions.
^ Plastiment increases concrete density and delivers increased early and
ultimate, compressive and flexural strengths.
^ For flatwork applications Plastiment acts as a finishing aid, workability is
improved, bleeding is controlled and a superior surface finish is obtained.
^ Lower water cement ratios provide decreased permeability and increased
durability..
^ Plastiment can be used to retard concrete during the hot weather con-
creting. Refer to ACI 305R Hot Weather Concreting for more information.
Plastiment does not contain calcium chloride or any other intentionally added
chlorides.
Dosage rates will vary depending on the material used, ambient conditions
and the requirements of a specific project.
For general concreting applications, Sika recommends a dosage rate
between 2-4 fl. oz./100 lbs. (130-260 ml/100 kg) of cementitious materials.
Where extended retardation is required dosage may be increased. Dosage
rates outside the recommended range may be used where specialized materi-
als such as microsilica are specified, extreme ambient conditions are encoun-
tered or unusual project conditions require special consideration. In this case
please contact your local regional Sika office or Sika technical service
department at 1-800-933-7452 for further information.
