Sika® ViscoCrete®-3088 Ease
(former MasterEase® 3088)
LOW VISCOSITY CONCRETE CONCEPT - NEW SUPERPLASTICIZER TECHNOLOGY IMPARTS ADVANCED RHEOLOGICAL PROPERTIES DELIVERING A SIGNIFICANT DECREASE IN THE VISCOSITY OF CONCRETES AND EXTENDED RHEOLOGY MAINTENANCE
The Sika® ViscoCrete®-3088 Ease is a superplasticizer, high range water reducer. Sika® ViscoCrete®-3088 Ease is designed to impart exceptional rheological properties to fresh concrete. : It improves considerably the placing and finishing of concretes and enhances the pumping of concrete plants for all construction activities.
The Sika® ViscoCrete®-3088 Ease delivers many advantages both in the fresh concrete and hardened concrete.
At fresh state, optimizing the rheology:
Decrease in the viscosity of concretes at constant W/C
Improvement of the implementation of concretes
• Improved pumping (lower pressure and longer distance)
• Better response to vibration
• Greater Ease of Pumping
• Superior finishing, floating and smoothing operations
• Excellent flexibility, mobility and flow of self-compacting concrete.
Reduction possible to the W/C ratio without affecting the viscosity of concretes.
• New windows for technical and economic optimization of concrete mix designs (addition and types of binder, choice of aggregates.
• High strength and resistance to segregation
• Good compatibility with all types of cement and mineral additions.
In the cured state, improvement of sustainability
I. Excellent early and late compressive strength
II. Improvement of quality of surface finishes
III. As part of a reduction of W/C
• Increased mechanical resistances
• Decreased porosity and permeability
• Decreased shrinkage and cracking
• Enhanced durability
