Sika® ViscoCrete®-5030 SA

HIGH RANGE SUPERPLASTICIZER AND SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE ADMIXTURE

Sika® ViscoCrete®-5030 SA is a polycarboxylate based superplasticizer developed particularly for use in ready mixed concrete to give extended slump retention and high strength development of normal grade concrete mixes.
Sika® ViscoCrete®-5030 SA is suitable for use in concrete mixes incorporating pozzolanic materials such as GGBS, PFA and microsilica.
Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.

Sika® ViscoCrete®-5030 SA acts by surface absorption on the cement particles producing steric hindrance and electrostatic repulsion between cement particles which results in higher dispersion, flow and retention.
Sika® ViscoCrete®-5030 SA provides the following beneficial properties:
  • Powerful plasticising action
  • Production of workable concrete at low w/b ratio
  • Improved shrinkage and creep characteristics
  • Excellent flowability resulting in minimal placing and compacting efforts
  • Slower rate of carbonation ingress
  • Cost effective, structurally economic
  • Higher ultimate strengths allows greater flexibility for engineers to design
  • Reduced surface defects so improving aesthetic appearance
  • Durable concrete
  • Does not contain chlorides or other steel corrosion promoting ingredients
