Sika ViscoFlow®-1050

HIGH RANGE WATER REDUCING CONCRETE ADMIXTURE WITH ENHANCED WORKBILITY RETENTION

Sika ViscoFlow®-1050 is a 3rd generation polymer based high performance superplasticizer for producing soft consistency concrete. It is particularly suited for use in concretes that require low water/cement ratios and / or high water reductions with excellent workability retention properties of up to 3 hours.

Sika ViscoFlow®-1050 combines different modes of actions. By adsorption on the surface of the fines and keeping them apart while the hydration is in progress, Sika ViscoFlow®-1050 effects the following concrete properties:
  • Extended consistence retention;
  • Improved cohesion properties;  
  • Improved early and ultimate strengths;
  • Excellent placement characteristics; 
  • Improved rheology;
  • Improved durability;
  • Reduced segregation and bleeding;
  • Reduced drying shrinkage.
Sika ViscoFlow®-1050 contains neither chlorides nor other corrosion inducing substances and can therefore be used without any restrictions for reinforced concrete structures.
