TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Concreting Guidance The standard rules of good concreting practice for production and placing
must be observed when using Sika® Retarder-22 in concrete. Refer to relev-
ant 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 0.2 - 1.5 % 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 Sika® Retarder-22 may be combined with all types of Portland cement (OPC
and SRC), concretes containing pozzolanic materials such as GGBS, PFA, mi-
cro-silica and the following Sika products:
Sika® ViscoCrete®, SikaPlast® and Sikament® ranges;
SikaPump®, Sika® FerroGard®-901, SikaFume®, SikaFiber®, Sika Aer®, Sika®
Stabilizer, Sika®-1 WT, Sika® WT-10
We recommend to perform trial mixes to establish the required perform-
ance when combining Sika® Retarder-22 with the above products or other
admixtures. Please consult our Sika Technical Department.
Dispensing Sika® Retarder-22 is added to the gauging water or simultaneously poured
with it into the concrete mixer at the batching plant.
Do not add Sika® Retarder-22 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 ad-
dition of the remaining gauging water (to fine tune concrete consistency)
may only be started after two-thirds of the wet mixing time to avoid sur-
plus water in the concrete.

When accidental overdosing occurs the set retarding
effect increases. During this period the concrete must
be kept moist in order to prevent premature drying
