Sika Plastiment -1M

Professional Plasticising Admixture for Concrete & Mortar

Sika Plastiment -1M is a plasticising and air-entraining admixture specifically formulated to enhance the properties of fresh and hardened concrete and mortar in professional construction applications. This liquid admixture modifies key characteristics including workability, setting time, mechanical strength, impermeability and durability, optimising material performance for demanding civil engineering and building projects.

Key Features & Benefits

• Improved workability: Enhances ease of placement, compaction and finishing without compromising strength
• Normal setting time: Plasticiser with standard setting behaviour suitable for standard construction schedules
• Reduced water requirement: Water-reducing properties allow lower water content whilst maintaining consistency
• Enhanced durability: Improves resistance to environmental exposure and long-term performance
• Cost-effective dosing: Low consumption rates (0.1% by cement weight in mixers, 0.2% for hand mixing) reduce material costs

Technical Specifications

• Type: Plasticising and air-entraining admixture
• Setting behaviour: Normal setting time
