Sika® Sigunit® L-535 AF
ALKALI FREE LIQUID ACCELERATOR SHOTCRETE ADMIXTURE
DESCRIPTION CHARACTERISTICS / ADVANTAGES
Sika® Sigunit® L-535 AF is a high-performance, liquid, Particularly outstanding advantages of Sika® Sigunit®
alkali-free shotcrete accelerator. L-535 AF shotcrete accelerator are:
▪ Alkali-free
USES ▪ If correctly used, marginal loss of strength of the
shotcrete
Sika® Sigunit® L-535 AF is a suitable set-accelerator for ▪ No added pollution to mountain water and under-
wet-process shotcreting. The main fields of applica- ground water by leached-out alkalis
tion for Sika® Sigunit® L-535 AF are: ▪ Distinctly visible reduction of dust formation
▪ Securing of rock in tunnel mine construction ▪ Easier overhead spraying by improved shotcrete ad-
▪ Rock support and slope protection herence to rock and concrete
▪ High-quality lining shotcrete ▪ Chloride-free, does not attack steel

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Concreting Guidance ▪ The water cement ratio for mixing concrete should preferably be less than
0.45. The lower the water cement ratio, the better the results obtained
will be, including lower dosage of Sika® Sigunit® L-535 AF
▪ Concrete temperature should not be lower than +15 °C (especially so for
thick layers). Lower temperatures require higher dosages.

SYSTEMS
Compatibility Use of suitable superplasticiser (such as Sika Viscocrete® SC series) and set-
ting stabilizer (such as SikaTard®-930) is strongly recommended. For specif-
ic application, additional admixtures / additives can be used, for example:
▪ SikaPump® for demanding pumping situations
▪ SikaFume® for high strength, low rebound spray
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Recommended Dosage In general a dosage 3 - 7 % by weight of cement.
The most effective dosage must be determined by site trials.
Dispensing ▪ The exact dosage must be determined by preliminary testing. For layers
up to 15 cm thickness in 1 pass the dosage is in the range of 4 – 6 % by
weight of the binder cement. Sika® Sigunit® L-535 AF is dosed by means
of a peristatic pump such as Aliva AL-403
▪ Optimal atomisation of Sika® Sigunit® L-535 AF and its mixing with the
shotcrete mix must be ensured
