SikaPlast® R 8189
(former MasterPolyheed® R 8189)
High Performance Mid-Range Concrete Water Reducer
SikaPlast R 8189 is a formulated liquid admixture tailored for making superior and durable concrete, with special additives incorporated in the formulation to facilitate placing and finishing. SikaPlast R 8189 is a powerful plasticizer which disperses and deflocculates cement particles while delaying the hydration process, thereby retarding the initial and final set. It can be used to improve workability without the addition of extra water, or to allow reductions in the free water content. Due to improved dispersion of the cement particles the process of hydration proceeds under the optimum conditions, leading to improved strength characteristics with or without reduction in free water. SikaPlast R 8189 is compatible with all type of Portland cements meeting recognized international standards. For use with other special cements, please contact Sika Representative.
