Usage

Sika® PowerPack-10 MF is used in a dosage comparable to Melamine.
Use in dry mortar industry to produce:
  • Grouts
  • Dry concrete
  • Injection mortar
  • Cementitious screed
  • Dry mortar calcium sulphate flow screeds
  • Binder mixture for construction site flow screeds
 

Advantages

Sika® PowerPack-10 MF adsorbs onto the particle surface of the binder. Due to a combination of electrostatic forces and steric repulsion effects, the solid particles can be effectively dispersed. The benefits include, but are not limited to the following:
  • Very good flowability and self-levelling behaviour
  • Easy to dose into the dry mix mortar
  • Reduced mixing times on the building site due to rapid adsorption
  • Long-term stability enables long slump life
  • Low influence onto the hydration
  • Stabilizing influence onto the screed mix
  • No additional air entrainment
  • Efficiency over a wide pH-range
  • Compatible with other additives, e.g. fruit acid
  • Free of formaldehyde and ammonia

Application Information

Dispensing

Sika® PowerPack-10 MF is added to the dry mix. For optimum utilisation of the high water reduction we recommend a minimal wet mixing time of 30 seconds for mortar.

Compatibility

Sika® PowerPack-10 MF may be combined with many other Sika® Products as well as with most existing accelerators, retarders and other additives used in dry-mortar applications.
Important: Always conduct trials before combining products in specific mixes and contact our technical service for information about specific combinations with Sika products.
Consumption

Recommended dosage

Depending on the application and the anhydrite source, the dosage of Sika® PowerPack-10 MF varies from 0.30 to 2.0 % on the binder content. At high dosage or low temperatures Sika® PowerPack-10 MF could have a retarding effect.
