SikaPlast® V-210

Powered by ViscoCrete®
Mid-range water reducing admixture

SikaPlast® V-210 is a multi-purpose water reducer and superplasticizer, utilizing Sika's 'ViscoCrete' polycarboxylate polymer technology.

Water Reduction: SikaPlast® V-210 can be dosed at low to medium quantities to obtain water reduction from 5-15% and will achieve water reduction up to 20% at high dosage rates.  
High Plasticity: The superplasticizing action of SikaPlast® V-210 provides highslump, flowing concrete that maintains excellent workability and may be placed with minimal vibration. It also increases setting time without significant loss in early strength.
Extended Slump Life and Set Control: SikaPlast® V-210 has been formulated to provide controlled and predictable extended slump life for periods of 45 to 90 minutes (depending on dosage) with increased set times without significant loss in early strength development. The combined high range water reduction and superplasticising action of SikaPlast® V-210 provides the following benefits in hardened concrete:
  • Higher early compressive strengths for earlier removal of forms and structural use of concrete.
  • Higher ultimate strengths allow for greater engineering design flexibility and structural economies.
  • Reduced water cement ratios produce more durable, dense concrete with reduced permeability.
  • Highly effective plasticiser reduces surface defects in concrete elements and improves aesthetics appearance.
SikaPlast® V-210 does not contain formaldehyde, calcium chloride or any other added chlorides and will not initiate or promote the corrosion of steel present in the concrete.

Usage

SikaPlast® V-210 may be used in both ready mix and on site batching applications:
  • As a plant added high range water reducer (High dosage range), to provide excellent plasticity, while maintaining slump for up to 90 minutes and extending setting times.
  • As a plant added mid range water reducer (Medium dosage range), for pumped concrete flatwork and applications where superior finishing characteristics are required with low retardation levels.
  • SikaPlast® V-210 is ideal for use with lean, harsh concrete mixes, and concrete Containing, slag, fly ash or microsilica.

Compatibility

Combinations with other admixtures
SikaPlast® V-210 is highly effective as single admixture or in combination with many admixtures in the Sika System.
Field evaluations are needed to determine, based on local materials, the proper dosage of air entraining agent that needs to be used. In certain instances, it may be possible to reduce the air entraining dosage rate by as much as half or less to achieve the desired air content in the concrete mix. Please contact your local Sika representative for more information and assistance.
Combinations with microsilica
SikaPlast® V-210 is particularly well suited for use with microsilica, slag and fly ash because of its water reduction capability and superior slump control.

Dispensing

SikaPlast® V-210 is added to the gauging water or simultaneously with it poured into the concrete mixer. For optimum utilisation of the high water reduction, we recommend thorough mixing at a minimal wet mixing time of 60 seconds.
The addition of the remaining gauging water – to fine tune concrete consistency – may only be started after 2/3 of wet mixing time, to avoid surplus water in the concrete.
SikaPlast® V-210 can also be added directly to the freshly mixed concrete in the concrete mixer at the end of the batching cycle.

Frozen SikaPlast® V-210

Frozen SikaPlast® V-210 may be used after it has been slowly thawed at room temperature and intensively mixed.

 
Consumption

Recommended Dosage

Dosage rates will vary according to materials used, ambient conditions and the requirements of a specific project.

  • For general concrete applications (water reduction of 5 -15%):

0.2 – 0.8% by weight of cementitious (200 - 800 ml/100kg cementitious)

  • For maximum water reduction:

0.8 - 1.2 % by weight of cementitious (800 - 1200 ml/100kg cementitious)

  • SikaPlast® V-210 will retard the set of concrete when used at high dosages.
