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.
