It’s unique formulation is based on polycarboxylate technology. Sikament 686 meets the requirements for ASTM C-494 Types A 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: n Higher early and ultimate strengths for cost effective high strength con- crete and earlier structural use of concrete. n Higher early strengths allow faster demolding and more efficient use of forms to precast producers. n Increased slump improves workability and reduces labor costs. n Full flow action aids in pumping and reduces need for vibration. n 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. 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 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.

Co n s t r u c t i o n 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. How to Use Dosage 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.

Super Air Plus has twice the concentration of the active ingredient of Air Plus. Q. Which product should I use, Air Plus or Super Air Plus? A. Air Plus should be used by concrete producers who have very consistent quality in their supply of raw materials, thus only needing small corrections of air. Concrete producers that have variation in their quality of raw materials normally experience wider ﬂ uctuations in air content and should consider using Super Air Plus. Q. What is the raw material used in the production of Super Air Plus? A. Vinsol Resin, a natural air entrainer. Q. Are these products compatible with synthetic air entrainers? A. Yes. Additionally the spacing and size of air bubbles is improved when natural air entrainers are used to correct synthetic air entrainers. Q. Can they be used in dry-blended materials like mortars and stuccos? A. Yes. See the recommended dosage rate chart. Q. Are Super Air Plus and Air Plus effective in concrete with ﬂ y ash containing high levels of organic compounds (i.e. high LOI)? A. Yes. Natural air entrainers are more effective than synthetic air entrainers. Q. Can I add Super Air Plus or Air Plus to water to make a liquid admixture? A. No. Some of the components will only dissolve under special conditions of temperature and pH. Q. How long have the products been in the market? A. Since 1992.
