Sikament-HE 510
High range water reducing concrete admixtures

Construction

Product
Description

Sikament -HE 510 is high-range water reducing and set retarding concrete
admixture. It is a highly effective superplasticizer with controlled set retarding effect
to produce flowing concrete in hot climates. Also, a substantial water reduction can
be achieved to promote high ultimate strengths.
Complies with IS: 9103-1999, ASTM C 494-99/99a Type F & G

Uses

Sikament -HE 510 is used as a superplasticiser in the production of free flowing

concrete such as: Slabs and foundations. Walls, columns and piers. Slender
components with densely packed reinforcements. Textured surface finishes. It is
also used as a water-reducing agent leading to high early strength concrete such
as: Pre-cast concrete elements. Pre-stressed concrete. Bridges and cantilever
structures. Areas of concrete where form-work must be removed quickly or early
loading applied.

Characteristics /
Advantages

Sikament -HE 510 provides the following beneficial properties:

As a superplasticizer: Substantial improvement in workability increased water or
risk of segregation.

Long-lasting control over slump loss under adverse conditions

No adverse effect on ultimate strength

As a high range water reducer: Up to 25% water reduction is possible in ideal
cases

Significant increase in ultimate strength

Improved water tightness

Improved surface finish

No excessive air entrainment

No adverse shrinkage effect

Suitable specially for hot weather conditions

Application
Instructions

Dispensing

Sikament -HE 510 should be dispensed directly into the mixing water prior to its
addition to the concrete. When accidental overdosing occurs, it does not entrain
any excessive amount of air, but retards considerably though the ultimate strength
will not be affected, if adequate care is taken.

Cleaning of Tools

Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use.
Hardened / cured material can only be mechanically removed.
