Use

High Early Strength Concrete: Sikacem Accelerator delivers excellent results in normal and hot weather conditions where very high early strengths are required. Conventional accelerators promote early stiffening of the concrete, making it unworkable within a short period of time. Sikacem Accelerator is designed for applications where early stiffening (slump loss) is not desirable but high early strengths must be obtained within a specified time.

Characteristics and Advantages

• May be used with SikaGrout 212, SikaGrout 212 HP and SikaGrout 300 PT grouts.
• May be used with SikaQuick, Sikacrete-08 SCC, SikaTop 111/122/123 PLUS and Sika MonoTop repair mortars
• Early stripping and re-use of forms.
• Faster finishing operations on flatwork surfaces.
• Effective with Type GU, Type MS, and Type HE cements.
• Increases early strengths and allows faster repairs.
• Canadian Food Inspection Agency acceptance.

Sikacem Accelerator delivers excellent results when high early strengths are required. Curing times are significantly reduced while concrete quality is improved.

Cold weather concreting: Sikacem Accelerator is an effective hardening accelerator where high early strength concrete is desired and the use of calcium chloride is prohibited. See individual product technical data sheet for specific dosages and limitations.

• May be used with SikaGrout 212, SikaGrout 212 HP and SikaGrout 300 PT grouts.
• May be used with SikaQuick, Sikacrete-08 SCC, SikaTop 111/122/123 Plus and Sika MonoTop repair mortars
• Insulation and heating costs for curing time can be reduced.
• Earlier stripping and reuse of forms increases labor productivity.
• Accelerated strength gain allows earlier structural use and speeds completion time.

Sikacem Accelerator does not contain calcium chloride or any other intentionally added chlorides and will not initiate or promote the corrosion of reinforcing steel present in the concrete.

Placing concrete in freezing conditions: When used at Sika recommended dosage rates, Sikacem Accelerator may reduce the need for cold weather concreting practices as specified in ACI 306 - Standard Specification for Cold Weather Concreting.

Field evaluations should be carried out when concrete is to be placed in freezing conditions to determine the minimum ambient and concrete temperatures required, and the optimum dosage for the desired setting time and strength performance. Sika strongly recommends that appropriate sound curing practices be followed to protect fresh concrete from excessive heat loss in extreme weather conditions.
