Sikament® RB 833
High range, water-reducing superplasticiser for rheoplastic concretes
DESCRIPTION FEATURES
Sikament® RB 833 is formulated from synthetic poly- • Reduced thermal peaks
mers specially designed to impart rheoplastic qualities • High workability for longer periods
to concrete. • Lower pumping pressure
A rheoplastic concrete is a fluid concrete with a slump • Delayed setting with longer workability
of at least 200mm, easily flowing, but at the same • Higher ultimate strengths
time free from segregation and having the same w/c • Reduced permeability
ratio as that of a low slump concrete (25mm) without • Improved durability
admixture.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Recommended dosage Optimum dosage of Sikament® RB 833 should be determined in trial mixes.
As a guide, the following dosages are recommended as a starting point for
any trial: in normal concrete, a dosage of between 0.8-2ltr./100kg of ce-
ment, in high performance microsilica concrete, a dosage of between 1.53
ltr./100kg of cement.
Dispensing Sikament® RB 833 is a ready-to-use liquid, which is dispensed into the con-
crete together with mixing water. The plasticising effect, or water reduc-
tion, is higher if the admixture is added to the concrete after 50-70% of the
mixing water has been added. The addition of Sikament® RB 833 to dry ag-
gregate or cement is not recommended. Automatic dispensers are avail-
able.
