SikaPlast 600I/1
High Performance Superplastisizer cum Retarder
Description
SikaPlast 600I/1 is a third generation superplasticizer for concrete and
mortar. It meets the requirements for superplasticizers according to SIA
162 (1989), prEN 934-2, IS 9103 1999 and ASTM C 494.

Uses SikaPlast 600I/1 is suitable for the production of precast concrete.
SikaPlast 600I/1 facilitates extreme water reduction, excellent flowability
with the
same time optimal cohesion and highest self compacting behaviour.
SikaPlast 600I/1 is used for the following types of concrete
Precast concrete
Selfcompacting
Concrete wth highest water reduction (up tp 30%)
High strength concrete with prolonged slump retention
High water reduction, excellent flowability, coupled with high
earlystrengths, have a positive influence on the above mentioned
applications.
Advantages SikaPlast 600I/1 acts by different mechanisms. Through surface
adsorption and sterical seperation effect on the cement particles, in
parallel to the hydration process, the following properties are obtained:
Strong self compacting behaviour, therefore suitable for the production of
self compacting concrete(S.C.C)
Extremely high water reduction ( resulting in high density and strengths)
Excelent flowability(resulting in highly reduced placing and compacting
efforts)
Improved shrinkage and creep behaviour
Reduced rate of carbonation of the concrete
SikaPlast 600I/1 does not contain chloride or other, steel corrosion
promoting ingredients. It may therefore be used without any restrictions for
reinforced- and prestressed concrete construction.
