SikaControl®-50

Shrinkage reducing admixture

SikaControl®-50 is a liquid shrinkage reducing admixture used to produce high performance concrete with greatly reduced drying shrinkage.

  • Greatly reduced drying shrinkage & resulting cracking.
  • Reduces the potential for slab curling.
  • Substantially improved impermeability, resulting in improved concrete durability.
  • Can be used for air entrained or non air entrained concrete.

Usage

SikaControl®-50 is designed for the following applications:
  • Cement based Self levelling screed concepts Sika Viscochape and Sika Levelchape HCS
  • Concrete floors where reduced shrinkage minimizes risk of shrinkage cracking for the same joint spacing, and allows greater joint spacing without increasing the risk of shrinkage cracking.
  • Thin bonded topping slabs, to minimize the difference in shrinkage between the new topping and the existing substrate.
 
  • Concrete elements which are restrained against shrinkage.
  • For durable concrete in marine environments.
  • For watertight concrete in reservoirs, sewage treatment plants, and dams.

Advantages

  • Greatly reduced drying shrinkage & resulting cracking.
  • Reduces the potential for slab curling.
  • Substantially improved impermeability, resulting in improved concrete durability.
  • Can be used for air entrained or non air entrained concrete.
