Questions and Admixtures:

Sika Wintermix Frostproofer Mortar Admix (FAQs)

1. How does Sika Sikamix protect mortar during freezing conditions?
Formulated with air-entraining properties that introduce microscopic air bubbles into the mortar. These air bubbles act as shock absorbers, reducing the pressure caused by freezing water within the mix. By doing so, it prevents frost damage during the critical curing phase, ensuring the mortar maintains its structural integrity. Additionally, the reduced water demand lowers the risk of excessive moisture freezing in sub-zero temperatures, making it an essential choice for winter construction projects.

2. Can Sikamix Frostproofer and Plasticer be used for both indoor and outdoor applications?
Yes, it is is highly versatile and suitable for both indoor and outdoor projects. While its frost proofing properties are particularly beneficial for exterior work in cold climates, its plasticising capabilities also enhance the workability of mortar for indoor tasks. Whether you’re working on bricklaying, pointing, or rendering, Sika Wintermix ensures smooth application and a durable finish, regardless of the location.

3. Will Sikamix Plasticiser affect the strength of the mortar?
No, it is designed to enhance the performance of mortar without compromising its strength. In fact, by reducing water demand and improving adhesion, the product often results in a more durable mix. Its air-entraining technology minimizes shrinkage and cracking, contributing to the overall robustness of the mortar. Proper mixing and adherence to the recommended dosage ensure optimal results, preserving both strength and durability.
