Sika® ViscoCrete®-3333 GL

          Multi-purpose Superplasticizer  /  High Range Water-Reducing
          Admixture

Sika Viscocrete® GL 3333 is an improved, new generation, non-chlorinated,
acrylic copolymer superplasticizer / high-range water-reducing admixture.

Sika Viscocrete® GL 3333 combines several actions. Adsorption to the
surface and separation of fines particles during the hydration process give the
following properties:
  •  Extended workability.
  •  Very high water reduction (consequently high waterproofing and resistances).
  •  High fluidity (consequently easier application).
  •  High short term resistance.
  •  High waterproofing improvement.
  •  Better creeps and shrinkage behaviour.
  •  Lower carbonation speed.
Sika Viscocrete® GL 3333 does not contain any chloride or other component
which could cause or increase steel corrosion. It can be used without restriction.

Usage

Sika Viscocrete® GL 3333 is used for concrete in precast plants, on site and
for ready mix concrete. Sika Viscocrete® GL 3333 is used for concrete that
need to be transported over long distance or with extended application time.
Sika Viscocrete® GL 3333 is added for production of :
  •  Plastic to fluid concrete.
  •  Low W/C ratio concrete with or without silica fume.
  •  Concrete with high water reduction (up to 30%).
  •  Concrete with air entraining.

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 ® GL 3333, 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

Application

Consumption

Recommended dosage

Recommended dosage:

  •  0.2 to 3% of the cement weight depending on performances required.
  • Usual dosage: 0.4 to 1.5% of the binder weight.
