MPN: 170378 881347

Barcode: 7612894695724

This liquid admixture combines frost protection with faster setting times for sand and cement-based mortars, renders, and screeds in cold-weather construction.

Who This Product Is For

This product is for builders, contractors, and tradespeople working on construction projects during colder months. It suits professionals involved in masonry, rendering, and floor preparation who need to maintain project schedules despite challenging weather conditions.

It is appropriate for jobs where mortar, render, or screed must be placed in temperatures that could otherwise delay curing or cause frost damage to fresh concrete work.

Key Features

• Cold-Weather Performance: Designed to combat lower temperatures, reducing setting times effectively.
• Dual Functionality: Combines frostproofing and acceleration in one product, saving time and resources.
• High Concentration: A powerful formula that treats up to 100kg of cement with just 1 litre.
• Simple dosing: It requires only 250 ml for every 25kg bag of cement, making dosage straightforward.

Practical Applications

The Sika MaxMix Frostproofer and Accelerator is perfect for:

• Preparing mortars for bricklaying or rendering in cold conditions.
• Speeding up the setting process for screeds and floor levelling compounds.
• Protecting masonry work from frost damage during winter months.
• Supporting general cement-based applications where quick curing is required.

How This Fits Into a Typical Job

This admixture is added to the mixing water at the preparation stage before combining with dry materials. It becomes part of the mortar, render, or screed mix that will be applied to walls, floors, or masonry.

The product works during the curing phase, accelerating the setting time while providing frost protection. This allows subsequent construction stages to proceed without extended waiting periods in cold weather conditions.

How to Use

1. Preparation:
   • Make sure all materials are clean and free from contaminants.
   • Mix the sand, cement, and aggregates thoroughly in a 25 litre mixing bucket before adding the solution.
2. Dosage:
   • Measure 250ml of the product per 25kg of cement. For larger batches, calculate accordingly.
3. Mixing:
   • Add the measured amount directly to the mixing water before combining it with dry materials. A power mixer helps blend the mix evenly.
4. Application:
   • Use the prepared mixture as you would with standard mortar or concrete. Work within the shorter setting time.
5. Post-Use Care:
   • Clean tools and equipment immediately after use to prevent residue build-up. A churn brush can help remove stubborn mortar from buckets and tools.

Storage and Maintenance Tips

• Store in a cool, dry environment to maintain performance.
• Always reseal the container tightly after use to prevent contamination.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to freezing temperatures when storing the product.

Not Suitable For

• Use with materials other than sand and cement-based mortars, renders, and screeds
• Applications where extended working time is required, as it accelerates setting
• Use in warm weather conditions where frost protection is unnecessary
• Projects where separate frostproofing and accelerating additives are specifically required
