Sikament®-1 R4

HIGH RANGE WATER-REDUCING AND SET RETARDING CONCRETE ADMIXTURE

Sikament®-1 R4 is a highly effective superplasticizer with a set retarding effect for producing concrete in hot climate and also a substantial water reducing agent for promoting ultimate strength.
Sikament®-1 R4 complies with ASTM C494 type D & G.

Sikament®-1 R4 provides the concrete properties:
As a superplasticizer with set retarding effect:
  • Highly effective without increased w/c ratio
  • Lasting control of slump loss
  • Controlled setting time
  • Avoidance of cold joints
  • No adverse effect on ultimate strength
As a water reducer:
  • Strength significantly increased
  • Allow substantial cement reduction compared to plain concrete
  • Especially suitable for hot climate
  • No excessive air entrainment
  • No adverse shrinkage effect
  • Improved surface finish
