Technical Information

Concreting guidance

The standard rules of good concreting practice, concerning production and
placing must be followed.
Laboratory trials must be carried out before concreting on site, especially
when using a new mix design or producing new concrete components.
Fresh concrete must be cured properly and curing applied as early as possible.

Concrete mix design

When using SikaViscocrete ® Tempo 10, a suitable mix design must be calculated. The
local material sources used within the mix design must always be trialled
and approved for suitability before commencement of the project.
