All Ranges of Concrete Admixture
For more than a century, Sika has been producing high quality, innovative admixture technologies for concrete. Sika’s first product, appropriately named "Sika 1", was a concrete admixture that allowed for the electrification of tunnels in Europe by waterproofing the concrete that lined the interior. Now recognized as a world leader in specialty chemicals and other products specifically engineered for concrete, we continue to bring technologies to the market that focus on the optimization of cost, workability, and durability of concrete throughout the production and placement processes.
Sika develops and markets a complete range of admixtures and additives for use in concrete and mortar production. These products enhance specific properties of fresh or hardened concrete, such as workability, watertightness, durability, loadbearing capacity, and early and final strength.
Application Areas
- Ready mix concrete production
Ready mix concrete (RMC) can be referred to concrete that is manufactured in a batching plant or factory using a unique mixture of Portland cement, aggregates (gravel, crushed stone, sand, etc.), water and admixture. Ready mix concrete can be manufactured to a customer’s specific requirements and is sold and bought by volume.
Sika provides a wide range of concrete admixtures with innovative options for concrete mix design, whether it's for substantially, reducing the water content of a mix, achieving high early strength, improving concrete quality, workability, acceleration or retardation of setting time while using a more economical mix design. Sika's concrete admixtures help you meet the challenges of modern concrete technology and the construction business.
- Precast concrete production
- Wet Precast
Structural design and construction with precast concrete elements require versatile products, from wet precast production to erection on site. Sika, a full range supplier, meets the diverse complexity of the entire precast concrete element production and construction process with solutions for all requirements, for fast cycle times. - Semi-Dry Precast
used to achieve the best compaction possible. Increasing compaction leads to better green strength, increased early and final strength & economical production of quality concrete.
- Wet Precast
- Specifiers – Architects & Engineers
For those who are designing and engineering the fresh and hardened concrete specifications, Sika provides expert support, from the drawing board to the job site. We welcome the chance to work with specifiers and help design cast-in-place concrete to exceed your expectations – whether it is a high-strength mix or a unique color or finish texture you want to specify. In addition to our support services and concrete admixtures, we have a comprehensive range of proven products from “basement to roof” for your project.
