DESCRIPTION
Sika AEA-15 admixture is a liquid solu-
tion of concentrated organic materials. It
has been formulated and manufactured
specifically to provide stable and pre-
dictable air contents in concrete, with
uniform air bubble spacing throughout
the concrete matrix.
Sika AEA-15 meets the requirements of
ASTM C-260 for air entraining admixtures
and AASHTO M-154
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
Air entrainment is recognized as the
most effective prevention against con-
crete scaling in exposed environments.
Air entrained concrete delivers particu-
lar benefits in the form of increased
concrete durability. This is important in
colder climates where frost and freeze-
thaw cycles can cause scaling and dam-
age to the concrete surface.
Air entraining agents help to prevent
scaling by creating millions of micro-
scopic airvoids, allowing watertrapped 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 are also im-
proved 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.

Air Entraining Admixture
DOSAGE
Addition rates will vary depending on the air
content required for a particular project.
Typically aircontentswill bespecified inthe
range of 4 to 8 percent by volume. Other
factors that may affect the amount of air
entrained intothe concrete include, butare
not limited to, cement contentand type, sand
gradation, temperature and watercontent.
Sika recommends thattrial mixes betested
whenever material or any other changes
are made that may affect the amount of
entrained air.
Dosage rates for Sika AEA-15 will typi-
cally fall between 1!4 and 1 fl. oz. /1001bs.
(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.
Combination with other admixtures, par-
ticularlywaterreducersand retarders, will
tend to increasetheamountofentrained air
in the mix. Air contents shouldbechecked
with anair-meterafterbatching and dosage
adjustments made at the concrete plant.
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 ce-
ment.When used in combination with other
11/99
admixtures, care must be taken to dis-
pense each admixture separately into the
mix.
PACKAGING
Sika AEA-15 is supplied in 55 gallon (208
liter) drums and bulk delivery.
STORAGE AND SHELF LIFE
Sika AEA-15 should be stored at above
35°F (2°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 1 year minimum.
Skin and eyeirritant; avoid contact. The use
of NIOSHIMSHA approved respirator,
safety goggles and rubber gloves is rec-
ommended.Avoid breathing product. Use
with adequate ventilation. Remove con-
taminated clothing.
FIRST A/D
Wash skin with soap and water. In case
of eye contact, flush with water for 15
minutes; contact a physician. Wash cloth-
ing before re-use.
CLEAN UP
Contain and collect with absorbent ma-
terial. Dispose of in accordance with
local, state and federal regulations.

DESCRIPTION
Plastocrete 161 is a polymer-type water-
reducing admixture. Plastocrete 161
contains no chlorides.
Plastocrete 161 meets the requirements
of ASTM C-494 Type A and AASHTO M194
Type A.
APPLICATIONS
Plastocrete 161 is recommended for use
in all applications where high quality
concrete with superior workability and
normal setting times is required.
HOW I7 WORKS
Plastocrete 161 water reducing admix-
ture provides an economical and highly
effective means of reducing the amount
of mixing water required to produce con-
crete 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.
ADVANTAGES
Plastocrete 161 is formulated as a Type
A water reducer to allow 7 - 10% water
reduction and maximize the benefits of
increased hydration in both the hard-
ened and plastic states.
BENEFITS
• 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 con-
crete easier to pump and finish.

Water Reducing Admixture (Type A)
• Consistent normalsettingtimesthrough-
outthe recommended dosage.
~ Lower water cement ratios provide
decreased permeability and increased
durability.
Combination with other Admixtures:
Plastocrete 161 works effectively as a
single admixture or in combination with
otheradmixtures intheSika System. When
air entrained concrete is specified, Sika
recommends the use of Sika air entraining
agents.
PACKAGING
Plastocrete 161 is supplied in 55 gallon
(208 liter) drums and bulk delivery.
STORAGE AND SHELF-L1FE
Plastocrete 161 should be stored at above
35°F (2°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 minimum.
DOSAGE
Addition rates of 3 - 6 fl. oz.l100 lbs. (195
- 390 m11100 kg) of cement are recom-
mendedfor general concrete applications
where normal setting characteristics are

MIXING
Plastocrete 161 is added at the concrete
plant. Measure required quantity manually
or by automated dispenser. Add into the

DESCRIPTION
Plastiment is awater-reducing and re-
tarding admixture. Plastiment contains
no calcium chloride or any other inten-
tionally added chlorides.
Plastiment meets [he requirements of
ASTM C-494 Types B and D and AASHTO
M194 Types B and D.
APPt/CATIONS
Plastiment is recommended for use when-
ever high quaility concrete with predict-
able 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 accel-
erating effects of high ambient tempera-
tures by controlling the heat of hydra-
tion. Concrete workability is enhanced
and a superior surface finish is obtained.
BENEFITS
• 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 finish-
ing without cold joints in hot weather
conditions.
• Plastiment increases concrete density
and delivers increased early and ulti-
mate, compressive and flexural
strengths.
Plastiment
Water Reducing and Retarding Admixture (Types B & D)
• 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.
Combination with other Admixtures:
Plastiment works effectively as a single
admixture or in combination with other
admixtures in the Sika System.
DOSAGE
Addition rates of 2 - 4 fl. oz.l100 lbs.
(130-260 m1/100 kg) cement are rec-
ommended for general concrete applica-
tions. Where extended retardation is
required dosage may be increased. Please
