{"product_id":"sikamix-frostproofer-and-hardener","title":"SikaMix Frostproofer and Hardener","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSikaMix Frostproofer and Hardener is a chloride free liquid admixture that accelerates the setting and hardening of mortar, concrete, screeds and render, while providing frost protection during the setting period down to -8°C. This makes it an essential admixture for cold weather working, keeping construction programmes moving when temperatures drop. It can also be used in normal temperatures where a faster set is required, and when mixed neat with cement it acts as an emergency repair plugging aid with a setting time of just 2–3 minutes. Non-corrosive to metals, so safe for use with brick ties. Suitable for mortars, floor screeds, internal and external renders, and non-structural concrete. Certified to BS EN 934-2.
