Sika® Stabilizer-4 R increases overall mix cohesiveness without promoting concrete stiffening, which ultimately results in easier placement, reduced consolidation effort and improved aesthetics.

• Enhances stability of concrete matrix integrity during high slump placements
• Improves distribution of aggregate in the concrete mixture
• Increases the cohesiveness of lean and harsh mix designs
• Reduces segregation and bleeding
• Improves surface finishability
• Improves the air void distribution within the concrete matrix
• Reduces consolidation effort due to reduced stiffening

 

Sikament®-100 SC reduces or eliminates the need to dewater underwater construction sites before concrete construction can take place. Concrete can be placed by pump or tremie directly into areas covered by water. Sikament®-100 SC maintains the concrete matrix integrity during high slump placements and reduces washout from the surface during curing.

• Reduce or eliminate dewatering costs associated with underwater construction.
• Concrete is easy to pump and flows readily into available spaces.
• Segregation and dilution are reduced, in-place compressive and bond strengths are significantly increased.
• Laitance on concrete surface caused by cement paste washout during curing is reduced or eliminated.
• The active slump life of the concrete is doubled without extended delays in setting time.

Various levels of water reduction and workability retention can be achieved by adjusting the dosage rate of Sika ViscoFlow®-2020.    At lower dosage rates Sika ViscoFlow®-2020 provides mild to moderate water reduction with some extended workability.
