SikaControl® SC

Sika® Control SC is a shrinkage compensating admixture used to produce highperformance concrete with greatly reduced potential for drying shrinkage, cracking and curling.

  • Greatly reduced cracking potential related to drying and autogenous shrinkage.
  • Reduces curling and allows for increased joint spacing.
  • Substantial reduction of porosity, thus resulting in improved concrete durability.

Usage

Sika® Control SC can be used in any type of cast-in-place or precast/prestressed concrete, grout, mortar or any other cementitious mixes. Some of the applications of Sika® Control SC may include:

 

  • Concrete floors, to compensate for drying shrinkage cracking, control curling and increased joint spacing.
  • In thin bonded topping slabs, to minimize the difference in shrinkage between the new topping and the existing substrate.
  • In concrete elements which are restrained against shrinkage.
  • For bridge decks and parking structures.
  • For mass concrete structures such as mat foundations, dams and other structures requiring large thickness of concrete exceeding 1 m (3 ft).
  • For durable concrete in marine environments.
  • For watertight concrete in reservoirs, sewage treatment plants, and dams.

Advantages

  • Greatly reduced cracking potential related to drying and autogenous shrinkage.
  • Reduces curling and allows for increased joint spacing.
  • Substantial reduction of porosity, thus resulting in improved concrete durability.
