Application Information

Compatibility

Cements treated with SikaGrind®-200 are compatible in concretes produced with all commercial admixtures including air entrainers, water reducers, retarders and superplasticizers. The performance of concrete admixtures are not adversely affected by the use of SikaGrind®-200.

Dispensing

SikaGrind®-200 is added onto the clinker feed shortly before the mill entrance or directly into the grinding mill. Suitable dosage pumps with adjustable flow rates shall be used for accurate dosing.

Note: Periodically, the end of the additive tube/hose shall be checked to ensure that it is not blocked!
Consumption

Recommended Dosage

Typical dosage rates of SikaGrind®-200 are between 0.3 - 0.6 kg per ton of cement (0.03% - 0.06% of total weight = cement clinker + additions). The optimum dosage to achieve the desired characteristics shall be determined in plant trials. Influencing factors are e.g. the properties of clinker, type of cement and other plant variables.

For consistent results, SikaGrind®-200 must be accurately dispensed.
