Sika ViscoCrete-200 EPC | PCE based Super-plasticizers
Sika ViscoCrete-200 EPC is a polycarboxylate based superplasticizer particularly developed for use in the precast industry to give high workability at low water: binder ratios with normal setting times. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions. The possibility to work with very low water/binder ratios and avoiding the high
Sika ViscoCrete-20 HE | PCE based Super-plasticizers
High Range Water Reducer / Superplasticiser Sika ViscoCrete-20 HE is a liquid admixture for concrete and mortar which is used as high range water reducer or superplasticiser. Sika ViscoCrete-20 HE is designed to work on a combination of electrostatic adsorption and steric repulsion effects allowing solid particles to be effectively dispersed.

Sikament -R2004 provides the following properties: As a Super Plasticizer. -Substantial improvement in workability without increased
- What is a superplasticizer used for?
- Superplasticizers (SPs), also known as high range water reducers, are additives used for making high strength concrete or to place self-compacting concrete. Plasticizers are chemical compounds enabling the production of concrete with approximately 15% less water content. Superplasticizers allow reduction in water content by 30% or more.
- What is a high range water reducer admixture?
- Superplasticizers (High Range Water reducer) ASTM C494 Type F and Type G, High Range Water Reducer (HRWR) and retarding admixtures are used to reduce the amount of water by 12% to 30% while maintaining a certain level of consistency and workability (typically from 75 mm to 200 mm) and to increase workability for reduction in w/cm ratio.
- What is the difference between a plasticizer and a superplasticizer?
- Plasticizers are chemical compounds enabling the production of concrete with approximately 15% less water content. Superplasticizers allow reduction in water content by 30% or more. These additives are employed at the level of a few weight percent. Plasticizers and superplasticizers also retard the setting and hardening of concrete.
- What are water reducers & retarders?
- Water reducers, retarders, and superplasticizers are admixtures for concrete, which are added in order to reduce the water content in a mixture or to slow the setting rate of the concrete while retaining the flowing properties of a concrete mixture.
- What is water reducing admixtures (WRA)?
- Water reducing admixtures (WRA) The use of WRA is defined as Type A in ASTM C 494. WRA affects mainly the fresh properties of concrete by reducing the amount of water used by 5% to 12% while maintaining a certain level of consistency, measured by the slump as prescribed in ASTM C 143-90.
- What is a polycarboxylate superplasticizer?
- Polycarboxylate superplasticizer stabilizing a colloidal suspension through steric interactions thanks to its lateral chains. Note: the PCE molecules are adsorbed onto positively-charged cement particles (tricalcium aluminate (C3A) mineral phase). The polymers used as plasticizers exhibit surfactant properties.
