Sikament-NNS
High Performance Plasticising and Slump Retaining Concrete
Admixture
Product
Description
Sikament -NNS is a highly effective dual action liquid superplasticiser for the
production of free flowing concrete or as a substantial water-reducing agent for
promoting high early strengths. It imparts excellent slump retention for prolonged
periods.
This product is suitable for tropical and hot climatic conditions
Uses
Sikament -NNS is used as a superplasticiser in the production of free flowing

concrete such as in
Slabs and foundations
Walls, columns and piers
Slender components with densely packed reinforcement
Piles
It is also used as a water-reducing agent in the production of high strength

concrete such as in
Pre-cast concrete elements
Pre-stressed concrete
Bridges and cantilever structures
Advantages
Sikament -NNS provides the following properties

As a Superplasticiser:
Improved workability without increased water
Concrete is placed easily, especially suitable for slender components with
densely packed reinforcement.
Improved cohesion of the concrete mix significantly reduces the risk of
segregation and allows greater time for placement
Increased strengths
Improved surface finish
Reduced shrinkage and creep
As a Water Reducer:
Up to 25% water reduction.
Final strength improved up to 40% at maximum possible water reduction.

Application Details
Dosage
Recommended dosage: 0.6 1.5 % by weight of cement.

It is advisable to carry out trial mixes to establish the correct dosage. Higher dosage
can be used depending on the mix design & concrete requirement, but a pre-trial to
confirm the dosage must be done by the user.
Compatibility
Sikament -NNS may be combined with many other Sika Products particularly
Sika FerroGard -901
SikaFume
It is also compatible with sulphate resistant cement.
Pre-trials are recommended if combinations with the above products are being
made. Please consult our Technical Services Department for information about
specific combinations.
Dispensing
Sikament -NNS can be added to the mixing water prior to its addition to the
aggregates or directly to the freshly mixed concrete (the plasticizing effect is more
pronounced).
Sikament -NNS can also be added to the concrete immediately prior to discharge
and after further mixing has taken place for at least three more minutes.
Concrete Placing
The standard rules of good concreting practice, concerning production and placing,
are to be followed. Refer to relevant standards.
Curing
Fresh concrete must be cured correctly, especially at high temperatures in order to
prevent plastic and drying shrinkage. Use Sika Antisol products as a curing agent
or apply wet hessian.
Cleaning
Clean all tools and application equipment with water immediately after use.
Notes on Application /
Limitations
When using Sikament -NNS a suitable mix design must be selected and local
material sources should be trialled.
Sikament -NNS should not be added to dry cement.
Before pouring, suitability tests on the fresh concrete must be carried out. Due to
the extended workability, take special care that formwork is properly installed and
secured.
