Sika® Plastocrete®

• Sika® Plastocrete® is suitable for concrete structures exposed to direct contact with water, such as bathrooms, water storage tanks, and swimming pools

• Improves the waterproofing properties of concrete and plastering mortars

• Improves concrete workability and ease of placement

• Reduces the amount of water required in concrete mixes, resulting in higher compressive strength

• Helps prevent concrete shrinkage during drying and hardening

Product Description

Sika® Plastocrete® is a liquid water-reducing admixture for concrete and mortar, designed to effectively reduce water demand and improve waterproofing performance.

Features / Benefits

Sika® Plastocrete® offers the following properties:

• Improves concrete workability without increasing water content

• Facilitates concrete vibration and compaction, resulting in denser concrete

• Increases compressive strength and durability

• Helps reduce concrete shrinkage

• Helps reduce water permeability

• Improves bonding between fine cement particles

• Contains no chloride admixtures and therefore does not contribute to reinforcing steel corrosion

Applications

Sika® Plastocrete® is suitable for use as a waterproofing admixture in masonry and concrete structures, such as:

• Dams and water reservoirs

• Drainage systems

• Water canals
