A COMPLETE RANGE OF CONCRETE ADMIXTURES. 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.

High Strength concrete is also one of them. The history of high strength concrete is about 35 years old, in late 1960s the invention of water reducing admixtures lead to the high strength precast products and structural elements in beam were cast in situ using high strength concrete. Since then the technology has come of age and concrete of the ...

The age at which concrete must develop its high strength is an important factor in the design of a mix. If high early strength is required, it can often be achieved by modifying an existing mix design to incorporate: (1) Type III rather than Type I or Type II portland cement; (2) additional cement; (3) an accelerator, such as calcium chloride; and/or (4) a water-reducing admixture.

The high early strength concrete is achieved through the use of one or combination of type III Portland cement, high cement content, low water to cementitious materials, high freshly mixed concrete, chemical admixtures, supplementary cementitious materials, autoclave curing, and insulation of concrete …

Set retarding admixtures are used to slow the setting time of concrete. By slowing initial set time, concrete mixtures are able to maintain fresh plastic properties for a longer period of time. This will reduce permeability, cracking, improve late age strength of heat treated concrete and …

Along with the inherent advantages of high-strength concrete, several less clearly defined disadvantages can materialize. Most of these disadvantages are due to a lack of adequate research under field conditions, although many of the issues are currently being alleviated though the use of improved admixtures.

Corrosion-inhibiting admixtures fall into the specialty admixture category and are used to slow corrosion of reinforcing steel in concrete. Corrosion inhibitors can be used as a defensive strategy for concrete structures, such as marine facilities, highway bridges, and parking garages, that will be exposed to high concentrations of chloride.

Accelerates the setting time of concrete especially in cold weather conditions. Accelerators increase the rate of strength gain in concrete, especially in early stages – referred to as high early strengths. Faster strength gains allows for earlier finishing operations and ultimately more efficient construction.
