Sika® ViscoCrete®-1003
CONCRETE ADMIXTURE FOR HIGH FLOW / SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE

DESCRIPTION CHARACTERISTICS / ADVANTAGES


Sika® ViscoCrete®-1003 is a third generation super- Sika® ViscoCrete®-1003 acts by surface adsorption on
plasticiser for concrete and mortar. It is particularly the cement particles producing a sterical separation
developed for the production of high flow concrete effect. Concrete produced with Sika® ViscoCrete®-
with exceptional flow retention properties and signific- 1003 exhibits the following properties:
ant reduction in bleeding and segregation. ▪ Excellent flowability (resulting in highly reduced pla-
cing and compacting efforts)
USES ▪ Strong self-compacting behaviour
▪ Extremely high water reduction (resulting in high

duction, excellent flowability with optimal cohesion ▪ Improved shrinkage and creep behaviour
and strong self-compacting behaviour. ▪ Increased watertightness for concrete
Sika® ViscoCrete®-1003 is used for the following types ▪ Increased carbonation resistance of the concrete
of concrete: ▪ Improved finish
▪ High flow concrete ▪ Reduce tendency to bleeding and segregation
▪ Self-compacting concrete (S.C.C.) Sika® ViscoCrete®-1003 does not contain chlorides or

The combination of high water reduction, excellent can be maintained for more than 1 hour at +30 °C.
flowability and high early strength provides clear bene-
fits in the above mentioned applications.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Concreting Guidance The standard rules of good concreting practice, concerning production and
placing, are to be followed.
Laboratory trials before concreting on site are strongly recommended
when using a new mix design or producing new concrete components.
Fresh concrete must be cured properly and as early as possible.

APPLICATION INFORMATION
Recommended Dosage For soft plastic concrete 0.2 - 0.6 % by weight of binder
For flowing and self compacting 0.6 - 2.0 % by weight of binder
