Sika® ViscoCrete® are high-performance superplasticizers based on PCE (polycarboxylate ether) technology. Thanks to our experience and knowledge of the effect of different polymer designs, Sika is able to offer customised solutions for a variety of applications with different binders.
Sika® ViscoCrete® high-performance superplasticizers have a double dispersing effect:
By saturating electrostatic charges on the particle surface.
By steric repulsion of the PCE molecules.
In addition to our current seven basic types, we are developing our Sika® PowerPacks for specific applications, for example to offer an alternative to the still widely used melamine types. With Sika® ViscoCrete® we differentiate between three basic types according to their main properties for water reduction, consistency retention and consistency control
