SikaPaver®-764

(former MCast 764)

New generation plasticizer for Manufactured Concrete Products

SikaPaver®-764 is an innovative multipurpose plasticizer specially developed for manufactured concrete products. The product is suitable for the production of blocks and pavers. At the same time, SikaPaver®-764 accelerates the strength development and reduces the cycle time whilst the appearance is maintained or even improved.
Due to its unique principle of action on the cement grain, SikaPaver®-764 fully exploits the hydration potential of cement resulting in higher early strengths and shorter curing times.
Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.

SikaPaver®-764 offers the following benefits for the manufactured concrete product industry to:
  • Enhanced productivity due to shorter cycle time.
  • Higher early strength.
  • Enhanced curing cycles due to shorter curing times.

Technical Information

Concreting guidance

The standard rules of good concreting practice for production and placing must be observed when using SikaPaver®-764 in concrete. Refer to relevant standards.
Fresh concrete must be cured properly especially at high temperatures in order to prevent plastic and drying shrinkage. Use Sika® Antisol® products as a curing agent or apply wet hessian.

 

Application

Application Information

Dispensing

SikaPaver®-764 is a liquid ready-to-use admixture to be added to the concrete during the mixing process. The best results are obtained when the
admixture is added after all the other components are already in the mixer and after the addition of at least 80% of the total water.

The water content is adjusted to obtain the desired consistency or workability.

Compatibility

SikaPaver®-764 is suitable for mixes containing all types of cement and supplementary cementitious materials such as: Microsilica (Silica Fume), Fly Ash (PFA), GGBS (ground granulated blast furnace slag) and the following Sika products:
Sika®FerroGard®, SikaFume®, SikaFiber®, Sika® Aer, Sika® Stabilizer, SikaControl®
We recommend to perform trial mixes to establish the required performance when combining SikaPaver®-764 with the above products or other admixtures. Please consult our Sika Technical Department.
Consumption

Recommended dosage

0.4 - 1.2 % by weight of binder
Other dosages by weight of binder can be used depending on the mix design, raw materials, climatic conditions and concrete requirements.
Trial mixes must be performed to establish the exact dosage rate required.
