Dispensing Sikament® ECO-3 W should be added to the gauging water or poured sim-
ultaneously into the concrete mixer. For optimum utilisation of the high
water reduction, we recommend thorough mixing at a minimal wet mixing
time of 1 minute/cubic metre.
The addition of the remaining gauging water to fine tune concrete consist-
ency may be started after 2/3 of the wet mixing time, to avoid surplus wa-
ter in concrete.
