Sika® Plastomix®-705

Mid-range Water Reducing Concrete Admixture

Sika® Plastomix®-705 is a newly developed admixture for concrete with midrange reducing effect. It is concentrated solution based on Synthetic Polymer and additives.

  • Water reduction up to 15% against control mix
  • Improved utilization of cement
  • Equal strengths to control mix with less cement
  • Better improvement for final strength
  • Compensates for slow early strength gain achieved by cement replacements (PFA,GGBFS)
  • Increased workability and placeability
  • Longer slump retention
