Concrete Placing

Follow standard concrete production and placing practices when using Plastiment®-PR 200 M. Refer to the relevant industry standards for guidance.

Curing

Proper curing of fresh concrete is essential, particularly in hot weather, to prevent plastic and drying shrinkage. Use Sika Antisol® products or wet hessian as curing agents.

Cleaning

Clean all equipment and tools with water immediately after use.

Application Notes / Limitations

• When using Plastiment®-PR 200 M, ensure that an appropriate mix design is selected, and local materials are trialed.
• If overdosing occurs (within reasonable limits), the retarding effect will increase. During this period, keep the concrete moist to prevent premature drying, and expect an increase in air entrapment.
• Plastiment®-PR 200 M should not be added to dry cement.
• Perform suitability tests on fresh concrete before pouring.
