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. /100
lbs. (32 - 97 m1/100 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
include, but are not limited to total cementitious content, type of pozzolanic
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 batching 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 80 °F
(10 °C - 27 °C) is one year.

Plastocrete 161
Plastocrete® 161
Water Reducing Admixture
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 mi /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. In this case please contact your local regional Sika office or Sika
technical service department at 1- 800 - 933 -7452 for further information.
Mixing 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
agitate thoroughly to return to normal state before use.
Shelf life when stored in dry warehouse conditions between 50 ° F and 80 °F
(10 °C - 27 ° C) is one year.

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-
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.
• 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.
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.
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). If frozen, thaw and agitate
thoroughly to return to normal state before use.
Shelf life when stored in dry warehouse conditions between 50 ° F and 80 ° F
(10 ° C- 27 ° C) is one year.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
SECTION 3 — HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emereencv Overview:
Concrete is a light gray fluid mixture that poses an immediate hazard to eye tissue. Exposure of sufficient duration
to wet concrete can cause serious, potentially irreversible tissue (skin or eye) destruction in the form of chemical
(caustic) burns, including third degree burns.
If footwear or clothing becomes saturated with wet concrete, remove immediately and wash area with water 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 or 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:
Discomfort or pain 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 with 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 or (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.)
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

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
• 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 with the product. Others may first experience this effect after years of
contact with ready -mix concrete. Minimizing contact with skin is the basic protection to reduce this
exposure.
• Carcinogenic Potential
Ready Mix Concrete is not listed as a carcinogen by NTP, OSHA, or IARC. It may, however, contain trace
amounts of substances listed as carcinogens by those organizations.
Crystalline silica, a potential trace level contaminant in Portland cement, is found in the aggregate
components in varying percentages and is classified by IRAC as a known human carcinogen (Group 1).
NTP has characterized Respirable silica as "reasonably anticipated to be [a] carcinogen ".
• Medical Conditions That May Be Aggravated By Inhalation or Dermal Exposure:
— Pre - existing upper respiratory and lung diseases.
— Previous exposure to dust from hardened product.
— Unusual or (hyper) sensitivity to hexavalent chromium (chromium ( +6)) salts.
I SETION 4 — FIRST AID MEASURES
• Eyes
Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with water. Continue flushing for 15 minutes, including under the lids,
for at least 15 minutes. Seek medical attention immediately.
• Skin
Wash skin with water and pH neutral soap or mild detergent intended for use on skin.
If clothing or footwear is saturated remove immediately and wash area with water and mild soap. If
contact has been severe enough to cause reddening or actual burns to skin, place sterile bandage on area
and seek medical attention.
• Inhalation
In wet form, concrete cannot be inhaled.
• Ingestion
In wet form, concrete is unlikely to be ingested. If concrete enters mouth, wash out with water
immediately. Seek medical attention if any burning sensation or actual burns occur.

SECTION 6 — STABILITY AND REACTIVITY
Stability: Stable
Incompatibility: Portland cement reacts with water to produce a caustic solution, pH 12 to pH
13. Wet concrete is alkaline. As such it is incompatible with acids, ammonium
salts, and aluminum metal. Aluminum powder and other alkali and alkaline
earth elements will react in wet mortar or concrete, liberating hydrogen gas.
Concrete dissolves in hydrofluoric acid producing corrosive silicon tetrafluoride
gas. Silicates react with powerful oxidizers such as fluorine, chlorine and
trifluorides, and oxygen difluoride.
Hazardous Decomposition: Will not occur.
Hazardous Polymerization: Will not occur.
SECTION 7 — HANDLING AND STORAGE
Normal temperatures and pressures do not affect the material.
Promptly remove dusty clothing or clothing which is wet with concrete fluids and launder before reuse. Wash
thoroughly after exposure to dust or wet cement mixtures or fluids.
Ready Mix Concrete is premixed at a plant or in a truck mixer drum and delivered to the end user in semi -fluid
state ready to be placed to set in final form.
SECTION 8 — EXPOSURE CONTROLS / PERSONAL PROTECTION
Eve Protection:
Safety glasses with side shields, or goggles, should be worn when engaged in activities where cement
dust, wet cement, or concrete could contact the eye. In extremely dusty environments and unpredictable
environments, wear unvented or indirectly vented goggles to avoid eye irritation or injury. Contact lenses
should not be worn when working with ready mix concrete or fresh concrete products.
Skin Protection:
Prevention is essential to avoid potentially sever skin injury. Avoid contact with unhardened (wet)
concrete products. If contact occurs, promptly wash affected area with soap and water. Wear impervious
clothing and gloves to eliminate skin contact where prolonged exposure to unhardened ready mix
concrete products might occur. Wear boots that are impervious to water to eliminate foot and ankle
exposure. If standing in wet concrete rubber boots must be worn to prevent injury.
April 2011 Ready Mix Concrete Page 4 of 7
MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
Wet concrete may splash into open boot tops and saturate socks and remain in contact for a lengthy
period of time. Prevention is to ensure that boots are fully laced up.
Do not rely on barrier creams; barrier creams should not be used in place of gloves.
Periodically wash areas in contact with dry portland cement, wet cement, or concrete fluids with a pH-
neutral soap. Wash again at the end of workday. If irritation occurs, immediately wash the affected area
and seek treatment. Clothing saturated with wet concrete should be removed immediately and replaced
with clean, dry clothing. Do not allow clothing saturated with wet concrete to remain in contact with skin
for any period of time.
Respiratory Protection:
Avoid actions that cause dust to become airborne. Use local or general ventilation to control exposures to
below applicable exposure limits.
Use NIOSH /MSHA- approved (under30 CFR 11) or NIOSH - approved (under 42 CFR 84 after July 10, 1998)
respirators in poorly ventilated areas, if an applicable exposure limit is exceeded, or when dust causes
discomfort or irritation.
Ventilation:
Use local exhaust or general dilution ventilation to control exposure within applicable limits.
