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 superi or 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 mi)ang 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 m1 /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 specialized materials such as microsilica are specified, extreme ambient conditions are encountered or unusual project conditions require special con- sideration.

Product Data Sheet Edition 10.2005 Identification no. 100 -54 Plastiment Plastiment® Water Reducing and Retarding Admixture Description Plastiment is a water- 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 slipforrn 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- rior surface 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. IN 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 AC1305 R Hot Weather Concreting for more information. Plastiment does not contain calcium chloride or any other intentionally added chlorides. 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 ml1100 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. Mixing Add Plastiment at the concrete plant. Measure required quantity manually or by automated dispenser. Add into the water line at the batch plant or directly into the concrete at the end of the mixing cycle. Combination with other Admixtures: Plastiment works effectively as a single admixture or in combination with other admixtures in the Sika System. When used in combination with other admixtures, care must be taken to dis- pense each admixture separately into the mix. Do not mix with dry cement. Packaging Plastiment is supplied in 55 gallon (208 liter) drums and bulk delivery. Storage and Shelf -life Plastiment should be stored at above 40 °F (5 °C).

Product Data Sheet Edition 10.2005 Identification no. 104 Sika AER Sika® AER Air Entraining Admixture Description Sika AER admixture is a concentrated liquid solution of neutralized vinsol resin. Sika AER meets the requirements of ASTM C -260 for Air Entraining Admixtures. Applications Sika AER can be used whenever air entrained concrete is desired. Ready - mix, precast and block producers can achieve optimum entrained air contents, even where harsh mixes are used or fly -ash is added to the mix. Sika AER is an effective and economical means to improve the paste quality of lean concrete mixes. Advantages Durability: Air entrainment is recognized as the most effective prevention against concrete scaling in exposed environments. Air entrained concrete delivers particular 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 millions of 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. The concrete flows better, bleeding and shrinkage is reduced because lower water content is needed for desired workability. It has been formulated and manufactured specifically to provide stable and predictable air contents in concrete, with uniform air bubble spacing through- out the concrete matrix. How to Use Dosage Dosage rates for Sika AER will typically fall between 0.5 and 1.5 fl. oz.1100 lbs. (32 - 97 m11100 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 include, but are not limited to total cementitious content, type of pouolanic materials, sand gradation, temperature and water content. Sika recommends that trial mixes be tested whenever material or any other changes are made that may affect the amount of entrained air. Mixing Measure the required quantity per batch manually or with automatic dispenser equipment. Add Sika AER to mixing water or sand. Do not mix with dry ce- ment. When 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, will tend to 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 AER is supplied in 55 gallon (208 liter) drums and bulk delivery. Storage and Shelf Life Sika AER should be stored at above 40 °F (5 °C). If frozen, thaw and agitate thoroughly to return to its normal state before use. Shelf life when stored in dry warehouse conditions between 50 °F and 80OF (10 °C - 27 °C) is one year. Typical Data Appearance Dario Brown Yellow liquid.

Exposure of sufficient duration to vret concrete can cause serious, potentially irreversible tissue (skin or eye) destruction in the form of chemical (caustic) burns, including third degree bums. If footwear or clothing becomes saturated with vret concrete, remove immediately and wash area with vrater and mild soap Do not allow prolonged contact. Potential Health Effects: • Relevant routes of exposure are: • EYE CONTACT and SKIN CONTACT Effects Resulting From EYE CONTACT: Exposure to wet concrete may cause immediate or delayed irritation or inflammation. Eye contact by splashes of wet concrete may cause effects ranging from moderate eye irritation to chemical burns and blindness. Such exposures require immediate first aid and medical attention to prevent significant damage to the eye Effects Resulting From SKIN CONTACT: Discomfor,, or pair cannot be relied upon to alert a person to a hazardous skin exposure. Consequently, the only effective means of avoiding skin injury or illness involves minimizing skin contact, particularly contact vdth wet concrete. Exposed persons may not feel discomfort until hours after the exposure has ended and significant injury has occurred. Exposure to moist or wet concrete may cause more severe skin effects including thickening, cracking, fissuring of the skin. Prolonged exposure can cause severe skin damage in the form of (caustic) chemical burns. Effects Resulting From INHALATION: Concrete may contain amounts of crystalline silica. Prolonged exposure to respirable free crystalline silica may aggravate other lung conditions It may also cause delayed lung injury including silicosis, a disabling and potentially fatal lung disease, and/or other diseases. (Also see "Carcinogenic Potential below.I Respirable exposure to silica in concrete may occur only if concrete is drilled. cut, ground or polished. Exposure to concrete dust may cause irritation to the moist mucous membranes of the nose, throat. and upper respiratory system The dust may also leave unpleasant deposits in the nose Effects Resulting From INGESTION: Not Applicable Chronic Effects Some individuals may exhibit an allergic response upon exposure to ready -mix concrete. The response may appear in a variety of forms ranging from a mild rash to severe skin ulcers. Persons already sensitized may react to their first contact vrith the product. Others may first experience this effect after years of contact with ready -ma concrete. Minimizing contact with skin is the basic protection to reduce this exposure October 2004 Ready Mix Concrete Page 2 of 2 MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET Carcinogenic Potential Ready Mix Concrete is not listed as a carcinagen by NTP, OSHA, or IARC.
