SIKAPLAST BV40

SIKAPLAST BV 40 is a water-reducing plasticizer for high mechanical strength that is non-chlorinated and ready to use, based on modified polycarboxylates, which appears as a brown liquid.

SCOPE

SIKAPLAST BV 40+ allows for obtaining plastic concretes with high short and long-term mechanical strength.

• high-performance concretes,
• prestressed concrete,
• prestressed prefabricated concrete.
• At high dosage, SIKAPLAST BV 40+ increases the setting time of concrete.

Temperature plays an important role, so it is good to conduct tests.
The SIKAPLAST® BV 40 + is compatible with SIKA AER and SIKA AER5 form travelers. This combination leads to:

an improvement in freeze-thaw resistance,
the possibility of continuous pouring (extruded concrete, road concrete),
an improvement in the resistance of all concretes in the bleeding zone.

Benefits

SikaPlast® BV-40+ is a high-performance water-reducing plasticizer that confers the following properties to concrete:

• high water reduction,
• prolonged maintenance of rheology,
• robustness with regard to segregation,
• good finish of formwork upon stripping.
