SikaQuick Winter Boost is a precision-engineered winter additive for fast-setting cementitious products, specifically formulated to accelerate early strength development of SikaQuick and SikaCrete systems without compromising initial workability. Moreover, this product addresses demanding cold weather construction environments where temperatures drop below 45°F (7°C). Consequently, this non-chloride technology enables contractors to maintain repair schedules and project timelines during challenging winter conditions. Additionally, its easy-to-use pre-packaged format and temperature-specific dosing guidelines ensure consistent performance across a range of cold weather applications from 20°F to 45°F (-6°C to 7°C).

Enhanced Cold Weather Performance

This winter boost additive transforms standard repair mortars into cold-weather solutions, therefore allowing for faster repairs in colder ambient air temperatures while maintaining the original product characteristics. Furthermore, the additive integrates seamlessly into existing mixing procedures and provides reliable strength acceleration without introducing chlorides that could compromise long-term durability. Whether working with machine base repairs, structural patching, or rapid-set applications, SikaQuick Winter Boost delivers the performance needed to keep projects moving forward regardless of seasonal temperature challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions

What temperature range is SikaQuick Winter Boost designed for?
Manufacturers specifically formulated it for cold temperature applications between 20°-45°F (-6° to 7°C). Additionally, different dosage rates apply based on the specific temperature range.

How much SikaQuick Winter Boost should I use per bag of mortar?
Dosage varies by temperature and product. For most 50 lb SikaQuick bags: use 1 cup (7.8 oz) at 20°-32°F and 1/2 cup at 32°-45°F. However, larger bags like SikaQuick 1000 require 3 cups and 2 cups respectively.

Can it be used below 20°F?
Some products like SikaQuick EZ Patch and SikaGrout 428 FS should not work below 32°F. Additionally, the substrate must remain free of frost and standing water for all applications.

Does it affect the final strength of the repair?
No, SikaQuick Winter Boost accelerates early strength development without negatively impacting the final cured strength properties of the base products.

How should it be stored?
Store the powder dry at 40°-95°F (4°-35°C) and protect from moisture. If the material becomes damp, you should discard it immediately. Furthermore, shelf life extends to 9 months in original unopened packaging.

What mixing procedure should I follow?
First, add the recommended amount of Winter Boost to clean, potable water (>34°F), then mix until dissolved. Next, add the SikaQuick or SikaCrete product while continuing to mix. Finally, never add ice – water must remain liquid.
