Sikament® FF+P

High Range Water-Reducing Concrete Admixture

Sikament® FF+P is a highly effective water-reducing agent and superplasticizer based on melamine technology for promoting accelerated hardening and free flowing concrete.

Sikament® FF+P provides the following properties :

As a Superplasticizer
  • Substantial improvement in workability without increased water or the risk of segregation.
  • Normal set without retardation, even when over dosed.
  • Improved density and surface finish.

As a Water Reducer
  • Up to 35% water reduction.
  • 40% increase in 28 days strengths.
  • High strengths after 8 hours.
  • Increased frost-resistance.
  • Increased watertightness.

Application Information

Compatibility

Sikament® FF+P is compatible with all types of Portland Cement, including S.R.C. type and Hydraulic Cement.

Dispensing

Sikament® FF+P can be added separately to the freshly mixed concrete or directly to the mixing water prior to its addition to the aggregates. When added separately to the freshly mixed concrete, further mixing should take place for at least one minute per cubic meter.

Restrictions

Concrete shall be designed in accordance with ACI 211.1-89 standard recommended practice for selecting proportions for concrete and shall contain a super plasticizer which shall be Sikament® FF+P as manufactured by Sika. It shall be used in strict accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations.
Consumption

Recommended Dosage

600 - 3,000 cc. per 100 kg. of cement weight. Exact dosage rates are dependent on the type of effect sought, quality of cement and aggregates, water/cement ratio and ambient temperature. Therefore, in many cases it is advisable to carry out trial mixes.
