Sika® ViscoCrete®-430 P is a high-performance, superplasticizer and water reducer in powder form, based on Sika® ViscoCrete® polycarboxylate (PCE) polymer technology. Very high initial flow Robustness regarding different sand qualities Very good flow and self-levelling behaviour Usage Sika® ViscoCrete®-430 P can be used in dry mortar and binder systems with high calcium sulphate content including: Portland and Portland composite cements Especially cements with a high sulphate and alkali content Alkaline activated calcium sulfate based binders, e.g. synthetic anhydrite Sika® ViscoCrete®-430 P is especially suitable for the manufacture of calcium sulphate flow screeds (ready-mix or transport-mixing and pumping-systems) but also other self-levelling screeds and underlayments, grouts and tile adhesives. Advantages Sika® ViscoCrete®-430 P is adsorbed onto the surface of the binder particles and due to repulsive forces from the effect known as steric hindrance, the solid binder particles are very effectively dispersed in the mix. The benefits of Sika® ViscoCrete®-430 P include, but are not limited to the following: High water reduction at low dosage Robustness regarding different sand qualities Very high initial flow Short mixing times due to fast adsorption Long-term stability which enables long slump life Efficiency over a wide pH-range Very good flow and self-levelling behaviour Self-compacting behaviour Increased strength development Improved shrinkage and creep behaviour Compatible with other additives Low influence on hydration, resulting in low activator/accelerator consumption Free of formaldehyde and ammonia
