ApplicationRecommended dosage One part of Sika®-1 is added to 10 parts of water, which means the equivalent of approximately 3% of the cement content. When using very wet sand, the mixing ratio should be increased to 1:8, and in extreme cases to 1:6. The cement:sand mixture ratio will not exceed 1:1 ... 1:3. Note: Trial mixes should always be carried out to determine the exact dosage rates and amount of water required in the mix. shuffle Sika®-1 must be stirred slowly before use to ensure a homogeneous product consistency. Sika®-1 is diluted in the measured amount of water. The solution thus obtained is mixed slowly (to ensure a homogeneous consistency) before being added to the mortar or concrete mixer. Sika®-1 can be added slowly and directly to the mortar or concrete mixture, provided that the resulting mixture is properly mixed to obtain a homogeneous consistency. |
