Description

Sika® Stabilizer-10 ME (formerly MCell 10ME) is a ready-to-use liquid foaming agent designed to produce lightweight foam concrete for various insulation and construction applications. Concrete made with Sika® Stabilizer-10 ME features a fine cellular structure, providing optimal workability with a given water-cement ratio. This results in a reduced material weight per unit volume, which lowers the dead load on the structure and improves heat conductivity. It is suitable for use in hot and tropical climates.

USES

• Thermal Insulation
  Plastic density ~1,000 kg/m³
  The lightweight foam concrete made with Sika® Stabilizer-10 ME (formerly MCell 10ME) is ideal for use as a light, insulating, and leveling layer on roofs and floors.
• Encasement Concrete
  Plastic density ~600 kg/m³
  Pipes can be encased and held in place using the lightweight foam concrete produced with Sika® Stabilizer-10 ME.
• Backfill Concrete
  Plastic density ~1,350 kg/m³
  Concrete made with Sika® Stabilizer-10 ME is easy to apply and does not require compaction.

FEATURES

• Safely introduces air pores up to 35%
• Dry density range of ~800–1,600 kg/m³ when combined with lightweight aggregates
• Stable air content before and after placing the concrete
• Can be pumped using a concrete pump
• Easy production in ready-mix plants using standard dosing equipment

PRODUCT INFORMATION

APPLICATION INFORMATION

• Recommended Dosage:
  Use a compact foam generator with a 2 bar water source to produce the required foam volume quickly. One liter of Sika® Stabilizer-10 ME produces foam at a rate of 660 liters per minute with 26 liters of water consumed each minute. For more details, consult the Sika Technical Department.
• Application Time:
  The foam dosage can be adjusted by controlling the foam produced by the foam gun to achieve a desired concrete density.

Foaming Time for 1m³ of Foam Concrete
