Sika® Plastiment®-1000 MC

(former MCrete 1000)

Superplasticizer for the production of geopolymer concrete

Sika® Plastiment®-1000 MC is an innovative superplasticizer and is specially engineered for geopolymer concrete. Sika® Plastiment®-1000 MC is formulated from unique polymers. Sika® Plastiment®-1000 MC allows the production of mass geopolymer concrete with reduced heat of hydration as well as curing requirements. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.

Sika® Plastiment®-1000 MC offers the following benefits for the geopolymer concrete:
  • Production of highly flowable, robust selfcompacting geopolymer concrete having a low water binder ratio along with an optimal rheology
  • Enhanced robustness and consistency in concrete quality with low stickiness
  • Environmentally friendly, CO2 reduced mixdesign optimization (when compared to traditional concrete containing Portland cements)
  • Reduction of heat curing
  • Improved surface appearance

Application

Application Information

Dispensing

Sika® Plastiment®-1000 MC is a ready-to-use admixture to be added to the concrete as a separate component.
Optimal result is obtained if Sika® Plastiment®-1000 MC is poured into the concrete mix right after the addition of the first 80% of the mixing water, i.e. when all solids are wetted. Avoid adding the admixture to the dry aggregates.

Compatibility

Sika® Plastiment®-1000 MC is suitable for mixes containing supplementary cementitious materials such as: Microsilica (Silica Fume), Fly Ash (PFA), GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag) and other supplementary cementitious binders.
Consumption

Recommended dosage

4.0 - 8.0 % 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.
