SikaPlast®-9 VN

PCE BASED SUPERPLASTICIZING AND SET RETARDING CONCRETE ADMIXTURE

SikaPlast®-9 VN is a 3rd generation polymer based high performance superplasticizer for producing soft consistency concrete.
SikaPlast®-9 VN meets the requirements of ASTM C494 Type D & G.
SikaPlast®-9 VN conforms to type G when used at 0.8 - 1.0% dosage, depending on cement type used.

SikaPlast®-9 VN combines different modes of actions. By adsorption on the surface of the fines and keeping them apart while the hydration is in progress, SikaPlast®-9 VN effects the following concrete properties:
  • Long slump keeping and high water reduction
  • High flowability (considerably reduced placing and compacting work)
  • Faster evolution of early strength development
  • Workability can be maintained up to 3-6 hours (still depends on admixture dosage, cement type, temperature)
  • Improved creep and shrinkage resistance characteristics
  • When used at higher dosages, SikaPlast®-9 VN can give extended working time
