Plasticiser additive Sika® ViscoCrete®-125 P

for mortar

Sika® ViscoCrete®-125 P is a high-performance, superplasticizer and water reducer in powder form, based on Sika® ViscoCrete® polycarboxylate (PCE) polymer technology. Increased strength development Medium to fast adsorption Good slump life and open time Usage Sika® ViscoCrete®-125 P is formulated for use in dry mortar applications and can be used with different hydraulic binder systems according to the performance required, including: Portland cement (OPC) and cement blends Ternary blended binders Calcium sulphate (gypsum) based binders Sika® ViscoCrete®-125 P is especially suitable for the following dry-mortar applications: Cement and anhydrite screeds (including self-levelling screeds) and underlayments Grouts (including non-shrink grouts) & tile adhesives based on Portland cement (OPC). Advantages Sika® ViscoCrete® is adsorbed onto the surface of the binder particies and due to repulsive forces from the effect known as steric hindrance, the solid binder particiers are very effectively dispersed in the mix. Thecharateristics and advantages of Sika® ViscoCrete®-125 P include: High water reduction at low dosage (resulting in shorter drying times, higher densities and strengths) Very good flow and self-levelling behaviour Reduced mixing times due to fast adsorption Long-term stability which enables long slump life Increased strength development Improved shrinkage and creep behaviour Efficiency over a wide pH-range Compatible with other additives Low influence on hydration, thus low activator/accelerator consumption Free of formaldehyde and ammonia Packaging 20 kg bag / 800 kg per pallet Colour White to yellowish powder
