Sika ViscoCrete 10 - High Range Water Reducer Retarder

Description

Sika ViscoCrete 10 is a third generation superplasticiser for concrete and mortar. it meets the requirements for set retarding / high range water reducing superplasticisers according to as1478.1-2000.

Uses

Sika ViscoCrete 10 is especially suitable for concrete mixes with extended transportation times and extended workability requirements, very high water reduction and excellent flow characteristics.

Sika ViscoCrete 10 is mainly used for the following applications:

• Soft concrete with very high water reduction.
• High performance concrete.
• Concrete in hot weather and with extended transportation and workability requirements.

Characteristics / Advantages

Sika ViscoCrete 10 is a powerful superplasticiser which acts through several mechanisms.

Through surface absorption and steric effects dispersing the cementitious binder particles the following properties are achieved:

• High water reduction, resulting in high density, high strength and reduced permeability.
• Excellent plasticising effect, resulting in improved flow, soft placing and compaction characteristics.
• Reduced shrinkage and reduced creep in hardened concrete.
• Sika Viscocrete 10 does not contain chlorides or any other ingredients which promote the corrosion of steel. it is therefore suitable for use in reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.
