TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Concreting guidance The standard rules of good concreting practice for production and placing
must be observed when using Sikament® NN in concrete. Refer to relevant
standards.
Fresh concrete must be cured properly especially at high temperatures in
order to prevent plastic and drying shrinkage. Use Sika® Antisol® products
as a curing agent or apply wet hessian.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Recommended dosage 0.6 – 3.0 % by weight of binder.
Higher dosages by weight of binder can be used depending on the mix
design, raw materials, climatic conditions and concrete requirements.
Trial mixes must be performed to establish the exact dosage rate required.
Compatibility Sikament® NN may be combined with all types of Portland cement (OPC
and SRC), concretes containing pozzolanic materials such as; Microsilica
(Silica Fume), Fly Ash (PFA), GGBS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag)
and the following Sika products:
▪ SikaPump®
▪ Sika® FerroGard®
▪ SikaFume®
▪ SikaFiber®
▪ Sika® Aer
▪ Sika® Stabilizer
▪ SikaControl®
We recommend to perform the trial mixes to establish the required per-
formance when combining Sikament® NN with the above products or oth-
er admixtures. Please consult our Sika Technical Department.
Dispensing Sikament® NN is added to the gauging water or simultaneously poured
with it into the concrete mixer at the batching plant.
Do not add Sikament® NN directly to the dry mix.
For optimum utilization of its high water reduction property we recom-
mend thorough mixing at a minimal wet mixing time of 60 seconds. The re-
maining gauging water (to fine tune concrete consistency) may only be
started after two-thirds of the wet mixing time to avoid surplus water in
the concrete.
