Sika® Plastocrete®-3701 3D

(former MFlow 3D 240)

A high-performance hybrid polymer for enhancing dispersion and workability retention of Sikacrete®-3701 3D

Sika® Plastocrete®-3701 3D has been developed specifically as an admixture for the Sikacrete®-3701 3D for 3D printing applications. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.

Sika® Plastocrete®-3701 3D allows the following:
  • Production of high early and high ultimate strength elements with minimal voids and therefore optimum density
  • Adjustable workability without segregation or bleeding based on the printing requirements
  • Homogeneous mix and dispersion of the Sikacrete®-3701 3D
  • Improved surface finish
  • 40-60 minutes open time even at high ambient temperatures

Application

Application Information

Dispensing

Sika® Plastocrete®-3701 3D is a ready to use admixture that is added to the mixing water for the Sikacrete®-3701 3D at the time of batching.
Sika® Plastocrete®-3701 3D must not be added to the dry materials.
Thorough mixing is essential after the addition of the Sika® Plastocrete®-3701 3D. Mixing time will vary depending on batch size and mixer type until a homogenous consistency is achieved.

Compatibility

Sika® Plastocrete®-3701 3D is not compatible with other superplasticizers and should be used only with Sikacrete®-3701 3D.
Consumption

Recommended dosage

0.06 – 0.1 L / 25 kg of Sikacrete®-3701 3D. Dosages outside this range are permissible subject to trial mixes.
