SIKA'S UNIQUE VISCOCRETE TECHNOLOGY SETS OUR CUSTOMERS APART

With a core competency and rich history in concrete production, we strive to look beyond the commodity market to design and create concrete admixtures that give our customers an advantage and set them apart in their marketplace. Sika’s unique ViscoCrete Technology is a clear example of this.

Our ViscoCrete line of products encompasses a group of polycarboxylate based, high performing, water-reducing concrete admixtures. From conventional to high-strength, self-consolidating concrete our ViscoCrete products are specially formulated to provide full range water reduction with a variety of cementitious materials allowing for ultimate versatility. As the world’s largest supplier of polycarboxylate technology developed specifically for cement and concrete production we truly understand the building blocks of polymer design. The result is products that are less sensitive to the many variables that can affect concrete, providing our customers greater consistency.

Sika® ViscoCrete®-6100

Sika® ViscoCrete®-6100

HIGH RANGE WATER REDUCING ADMIXTURE

Sika® ViscoCrete®-6100 provides the shortest level of slump life and fastest setting time in the Sika® ViscoCrete® product line making it especially suitable for precast/prestress applications. Various levels of water reduction can be achieved by adjusting the dosage rate of Sika® ViscoCrete®-6100.     When used as a high range water reducing admixture, water reduction up to 40% can be obtained. The superplasticizing action of Sika® ViscoCrete®-6100 allows for the production of high slump/flow concrete with excellent workability that can typically be placed with minimal vibration even at an extremely low water/cementitious ratio.   At lower dosages rates Sika® ViscoCrete®-6100 is an effective normal water reducing or mid-range water reducing admixture. This application is ideal for use in conventional concrete containing supplementary cementitious materials.     The combined water reducing and superplasticizing action of Sika® ViscoCrete®-6100 provides the following benefits:    
▪ Reduced water cement ratios produce more durable, dense concrete, ▪ Increased slump and workability improves efficiency of labor and reduces labor costs,  ▪ Improved finishing characteristics,     
▪ Increased early and ultimate strengths allow faster structural use of concrete,
▪ Increased early strengths allow faster demolding and more efficient use of forms for precast producers.
    Sika® ViscoCrete®-6100 does not contain intentionally added chlorides.

Sika ViscoFlow®-2020

Sika ViscoFlow®-2020

WATER REDUCING AND WORKABILITY RETAINING ADMIXTURE

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. At higher dosage rates, or when used in combination with other water reducing admixtures, Sika ViscoFlow®-2020 provides high range water reduction with greater workability retention and the superplasticizing action allows for the production of high slump/flow concrete that can typically be placed with minimal vibration even at an extremely low water/cementitious ratio.   Concrete produced with Sika ViscoFlow®-2020 typically maintains consistency and workability for longer periods. The combined water reducing and superplasticizing action of Sika ViscoFlow®-2020 provides the following benefits:    ▪ Reduced water cement ratios produce more durable, dense concrete, ▪ Reduced concrete stickiness results in lower pumping pressures, ▪ Consistent and predictable slump life performance, ▪ Minimal effect on setting times at lower dosage rates, ▪ Increased slump and workability improves efficiency of labor and reduces labor costs, ▪ Minimizes or eliminates the need for concrete retempering,
▪ Improved finishing characteristics, ▪ Increased strengths allow faster structural use of concrete,      Sika ViscoFlow®-2020 does not contain intentionally added chlorides.
