Sika® ViscoCrete®-3110 star PK

Concrete Admixture for High Flow/Self-Consolidated Concrete

Sika® ViscoCrete®-3110 star PK is a polycarboxylate based superplasticizer developed particularly for use in ready mixed concrete to give extended slump retention and high strength development of normal grade concrete mixes. Sika® ViscoCrete®-3110 star PK is suitable for use in concrete mixes incorporating pozzolanic materials such as GGBS, PFA and microsilica. Suitable for use in hot and tropical climatic conditions.

  • Sika® ViscoCrete®-3110 star PK acts by surface absorption on the cement particles producing steric hindrance as well as electrostatic repulsion between cement particles which results in higher dispersion, flow and retention.
  • Sika® ViscoCrete®-3110 star PK provides the following beneficial properties:
  • Powerful plasticising action.
  • Production of workable concrete at low W/P ratio.
  • Improved shrinkage and creep characteristics.
  • Excellent flowability resulting in minimal placing and compacting effort.
  • Slower rate of carbonation ingress.
  • Cost effective, structurally economic.
  • Higher ultimate strengths allows greater flexibility for engineers to design.
  • Reduces surface defects so improving aesthetic appearance.
  • Does not contain chlorides or other steel corrosion promoting ingredients.
