Sika® Stabilizer-315 MBF

HIGH-RANGE WATER REDUCING ADMIXURE FOR MINE BACKFILL

Sika® Stabilizer-315 MBF is a high-range superplasticizer and water reducing admixture used by the mining industry to improve the performance of cemented paste fills in underground backfill operations. The product is well suited for a range of gold deposits (orogenic, quartz Iode hosted gold) and polymetallic base metals deposits ( volcanogenic massive sulfide). 

  • Fast reacting superplastizicing admixture 
  • High water reduction, resulting in high density and high compressive strength 
  • High plasticizing effect, resulting in improved flowability and placement
  • Reduction of the cement content and associated CO2 emissions
  • Does not contain chlorides or any other ingredients which promote the corossion of steel

Usage

Sika® Stabilizer-315 MBF can be used in mining to : 
  • Enhance workability of the paste fill 
  • Reduce water and increase solid content of the cemented paste fill
  • Improve rheological properties to facilitate mixing and pumping, and increase backfill throughput
  • Reduce pumping and line pressure within the reticulation system
  • Improve in-situ compressive strengths at the final stage
  • Reduce costs by reducing binder content (cement, slag, fly ash)
 

Advantages

  • Fast reacting superplastizicing admixture 
  • High water reduction, resulting in high density and high compressive strength 
  • High plasticizing effect, resulting in improved flowability and placement
  • Reduction of the cement content and associated CO2 emissions
  • Does not contain chlorides or any other ingredients which promote the corossion of steel

Application

Consumption

Recommended Dosage

The dosage to be used should be estimated by preliminary laboratory testing. The recommended dosage will usually be between 1 and 3% by weight of the total cementitious content. It is suggested than an automated liquid admixture dispensing system adapted to the paste backfill mixing method be used. Start plant trials with a lower dosage than that estimated in the laboratory. If the performance and the system results are satisfactory, continue with this dosage. If performance is unsatisfactory, gradually increase the dosage while continuously monitoring the system until the desired performance is achieved. Do not use a higher dosage than the recommended without preliminary testing.
