SikaPlast®-5003 NS1
High efficient superplasticizer
SikaPlast®-5003 NS1 is the latest development of superplasticizer for concrete. It meets the requirements for high range water reducing superplasticizers.
- When using SikaPlast®-5003 NS1 a suitable mix design has to be taken into account and local material sources shall be trialled.
- Minimizes loss of mortar due to rebound in plastering jobs, hence great ease of application and saving
- Required at a very small dosage, hence economical
Usage
With its outstanding cost / performance SikaPlast®- 5003 NS1 is used for the following:
- A wide range of applications where excellent workability is requested
- Concrete with high water reduction
- High efficient concrete applications
- Variable use in different concrete systems with different raw materials
Packaging
255 kg HDPE carboy or Tanker supply
Advantages
SikaPlast®-5003 NS1 is a powerful superplasticiser based on advanced technology which gives the following advantages:
- Strong water reduction, resulting in high density, high strength and reduced permeability
- Less sensitive against variations in aggregates and / or different cement types
- High efficiency even at low dosage rates
- Extended workability in conjunction with subsequent strength development
- Superior plasticising effect, resulting in improved flow, placing and compaction characteristics

Application
Recommended Dosage
0.2 % to 2 % b. w. o. cementitious. Optimum dosage has to be finalized through site trial. Stir well before use.
Dispensing
SikaPlast®-5003 NS1 is added to the gauging water or added with it into the concrete mixer. To take advantage of the high water reduction, a wet mixing time, which is depending on the mixing conditions and mixer performance, of at least 60 seconds is recommended. To avoid excess water in the concrete, the final dosage must begin only after 2/3 of the wet mixing time.
Compatibility
SikaPlast®-5003 NS1 may be combined with many other Sika® Products. Compatible with all types of cements and cementitious materials.
Important: Always conduct trials before combining products in specific mixes and contact our Technical Service Department for information about specific combinations.
Recommended Dosage
100g for 50kg bag of cement (0.2% by weight of cement)
