Sika® Lightcrete-400

Product catalog summary
Product Overview: Sika® Lightcrete-400 is a foaming agent designed for creating lightweight porous concrete, particularly suitable for use in recreational rooms. It is effective for concrete with a raw density of 0.5 - 1.5 kg/dm³ and offers thermal insulation and flowable filling mixes for various construction applications.
Key Uses: The product is ideal for thermal insulation, compensation layers in structural and civil engineering, and as a lightweight filling mix for excavations and formwork blocks.
Characteristics and Advantages: When used with Sika® Foam devices, it produces a stable foam that results in low-emission, lightweight concrete with improved thermal insulation and pumping capability. The product allows for targeted bulk density and strength settings.
Product Information: Sika® Lightcrete-400 is composed of an organic surfactant, available in 200 kg drums or 1000 kg containers. It has a shelf life of at least one year and should be stored away from frost and strong sunlight.
Application Information: The recommended dosage is 150 - 230 g per 100 litres of foam. Proper mixing and dispensing are crucial to maintain consistency and avoid pore destruction. A suitability test is recommended before use.
Safety and Handling: Users should refer to the Safety Data Sheet for safe handling, storage, and disposal information. Additional safety notes are available online.
Legal Notes: The product information is based on Sika's current knowledge and is subject to change. Users must verify the product's suitability for their specific application.

PRODUCT DATA SHEET Sika® Lightcrete-400 FoamING AGENT for low-emission lightweight porous concrete DESCRIPTION CHARACTERISTICS / ADVANTAGES Sika® Lightcrete-400 is a universally utilisable foaming agent for the production of lightweight porous concrete for use in recreational rooms. With Sika® Foam devices SG 70 or SG S9 P, Sika® Lightcrete-400, water and air generate a stable foam. This foam is then mixed into the output concrete in the concrete mixer. The resulting air pore content in the mortar cause: ▪ Low emission lightweight porous concrete ▪ An easily workable, flowable consistency ▪ Pumping capability due to stable air pores ▪ A targeted bulk density setting and strength setting An improved thermal insulation USES Sika® Lightcrete-400 is particularly suitable for lightweight porous concrete: ▪ Preferably with raw density of 0.5 - 1.5 kg/dm³ ▪ As thermal insulation ▪ As a compensation / insulation layer in structural construction and civil engineering ▪ As a light, flowable filling mix e.g. for excavations, old sewers, formwork blocks, etc. ▪ For utilisation in recreational rooms APPROVALS / CERTIFICATES Emission testing according to AgBB Emission testing according to M1 PRODUCT INFORMATION Composition Organic surfactant Drum: 200 kg Replacement container: 1000 kg Appearance / Colour Fluid / colourless - light yellow Shelf life Minimum of 1 year shelf life in sealed containers. Mix before using after longer storage times. Storage conditions Protect against frost, strong sunlight and contamination. Utilise clean tanks and containers when delivered in bulk.

APPLICATION INFORMATION Recommended dosage The dosage of the Sika® Lightcrete-400, as well as the foam production and the addition of foam is executed via the Sika® Foam devices SG 70 and/or SG S9 P. The consumption of the foaming agent is approximately 150-230 g/100 litres of foam per device model. The required quantity of foam depends on the desired lightweight porous concrete bulk density. A uniform output consistency as well as sufficient mixing time must be taken into account when producing lightweight porous concrete. When pumping lightweight porous concrete with low bulk density, it is...
