Sika AEA -15
Sika° AEA -15
Air Entraining Admixture
Description Sika AEA -15 admixture is a liquid solution of concentrated organic materials.
Sika AEA -15 meets the requirements of ASTM C-260 for air entraining admix-
tures.
Applications Sika AEA -15 can be used whenever air entrained concrete is desired. Ready -
mix, precast and block producers can all achieve optimum entrained air con-
tents, even where harsh mixes are used or fly -ash is added to the mix.
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.
se
■ Air entraining agents help to prevent scaling by creating microscopic air
voids, allowing water trapped in the concrete to expand when the concrete
freezes, thus preventing cracks caused by 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 flows better, and bleed-
ing and shrinkage is reduced because less water is needed to obtain the
desired workability.
Dosage rates for Sika AEA -15 will typically fall between 0.25 and 1 fl. oz. /100
lbs. (16 - 65 ml/100 kg) of cement 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. Dosage rates outside the recommended range may be used where
specialized materials such as microsilica are specified, extreme ambient con-
ditions 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. 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 performed 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 AEA -15 to mixing water or sand. Do not mix with dry
cement. 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,
may 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 AEA -15 is available in 55 gallon drum (208 liter), 275 gallon totes
(1040 liters) drums and bulk delivery.
Storage and Shelf life Sika AEA -15 should be stored at above 40°F (5°C). If frozen, thaw and agitate
thoroughly to return to normal state.
Shelf life when stored in dry warehouse conditions between 50oF and 80°F
(10°C - 27°C) is one year minimum.

Plastocrete 161
Plastocrete° 161
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.
How to Use
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.
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
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.

686
High Range and
Mid Range Water Reducing Admixture
Description
Sikament 686 is a high range water reducing admixture utilizing Sika's Visco-
Crete Technology. It's unique formulation is based on polycarboxylate
technology.
Sikament 686 meets the requirements forASTM C-494 Types and F.
Applications
Sikament 686 is recommended for use in the production of all high strength
concrete products, whenever high plasticity and increased early and ultimate
strengths are desired.
The superplasticizing action of Sikament 686 provides excellent workability at
low water cement ratios.
Advantages
High Range Water Reducing Applications: When used as a high range wa-
ter reducing admixture, water reduction up to 30% can be obtained. The su-
perplasticizing action allows for the production of high slump flowing concrete
with excellent workability that can be placed with minimum vibration even at
a low water/cement ratio. The dispersing action of Sikament 686 maximizes
cement hydration efficiency and improves concrete's early and long term com-
pressive strengths.
Mid Range Water Reducing Applications: At a lower dosage, Sikament 686
can be used as a cost effective mid range water reducing admixture or simply
as a water reducing admixture for production of conventional slump concrete.
When used as a mid range water reducing admixture, water reduction up to
15% can be obtained. This application is ideal for use with lean, harsh con-
crete mixes or concrete containing flyash. Sikament 686 will improve
workability and finishability.
The combined water reducing and superplasticizing action provide the follow-
ing benefits:
■ Higher early and ultimate strengths for cost effective high strength con-
crete and earlier structural use of concrete.
■ Higher early strengths allow faster demolding and more efficient use of
forms to precast producers.
■ Increased slump improves workability and reduces labor costs.
■ Full flow action aids in pumping and reduces need for vibration.
■ Greater concrete density reduces permeability and increases durability.
Sikament 686 does not contain calcium chloride or any other intentionally
added chlorides and will not initiate or contribute to corrosion on steel rein-
forcement present in the concrete.
Ise
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
3-12 fl. oz. /100 lbs. (195-780 ml/100 kg) cementitious materials. If maximum
water reduction is required, dosage up to 18 fl.oz./100 lbs. (1170 ml/100 kg) of
cementitious materials may be used. In this case, delayed setting times may
occur. 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 For best plasticizing results, Sikament 686 should be added directly
to freshly mixed concrete in the concrete mixer at the end of the batching
cycle.

Plastiment ES
Plastiment' ES
Water -reducing and Retarding Admixture
Description Plastiment ES is a water -reducing and retarding admixture. Plastiment ES meets
the requirements of ASTM C-494 as Types B and D and AASHTO M194 Types B
and D admixture.
Applications Plastiment ES should be used when a controlled delay in set time or increase in
slump life of concrete is desired. Plastiment ES can be utilized in concrete used
for flatwork and horizontal or vertical slipform placements. Use of Plastiment ES
provides a superior surface finish.
Benefits • Improves slump life and delays set time of concrete
• Slows down the rate of cement hydration reaction and controls concrete
temperature
• Provides sufficient time for proper placement and finishing of concrete without
cold joints in hot weather conditions
• In flatwork applications, Plastiment ES acts as a finishing aid, improves work-
ability, controls bleeding and provides a superior surface finish
• In mass concrete pours, Plastiment ES controls temperature rise and reduces
the risk of thermal cracking
• Reduces permeability and enhances durability by allowing to reduce the water
cement ratio
• Improves early and later age compressive and flexural strength
• Improves homogeneity in the mix and reduces chances of segregation.
Refer to ACI 305R Hot Weather Concreting for more information. Plastiment ES
does not contain calcium chloride or any other intentionally added chlorides.
How to Use
Dosage Dosage rates will vary depending on factors such as materials used, concrete
temperature, ambient temperature and specific requirements of the project.
Mixing
For general concrete applications, Sika recommends a dosage rate of 2 - 4 fl.
oz./100 lbs. (130-260 ml/100 kg) of cementitious materials. Exact dosages for a
particular application should be determined by conducting trial mixes. Dosages
outside the recommended range can be used to meet specific project require-
ments after conducting trial mixes.
For more information please contact your local regional office or technical service
department at 1-800-933-7452.
Add Plastiment ES 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. Do not mix with dry cement.
Combination with other admixtures: Plastiment ES is compatible with other
Sika admixtures. When used in combination with other admixtures, each
admixture should be added to the concrete separately.

Sika Air
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.
How to Use
■ 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.
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.
Mivinn
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 batching and dosage adjustments made at the concrete plant.
Sika Air is available in 55 gallon drum (208 liter), 275 gallon totes (1040 liters)
drums and bulk delivery.
J Shelf life Sika Air should be stored at above 40°F (50C). If frozen, thaw and agitate
thoroughly to return to normal state.
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.
How to Use
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.
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 mill 00 kg) of cementitious materials for normal
setting characteristics. Dosage rates of 4-6 fl.oz./100 lbs. (260-390 mill 00 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 ce-
ment.
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.

MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET
SECTION 3 — HAZARD IDENTIFICATION
Emergency Overview:
Concrete is alight 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.
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
Eye 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.
