Sika® UW Compound-100 is used to prevent separation of fresh concrete in direct contact with water. This underwater concrete can therefore fall freely and unprotected through the water.
Improved internal cohesion
More homogeneous mixture
Lower internal friction between cement and aggregates
Usage
Constructive underwater concrete
Free falling through water concrete
Concrete for bank protection of inland waterways and rivers
Concreting of building floor slabs in groundwater
Advantages
Improvement of the absorption of water on the solid parts of the concrete or mortar
Lower internal friction between cement and aggregates
This causes in mortar and concrete:
More homogeneous mixture
Improved internal cohesion
No segregation during contact with water
(high erosion resistance)
Good flowability and self-levelling
Good sealing without additional compaction effort
