requirements of EN934-2 and ASTM C494/C494M type F & G. It is designed for
use in hot climatic conditions.

Uses

Sika ViscoCrete -5930 is suitable for the production of high performance and
self-compacting concrete.

Sika ViscoCrete -5930 combines very high water reduction, with high workability
retention and high strength development.
Sika ViscoCrete -5930 is used for the following types of concrete:
Ready Mix Concrete
High strength concrete
High durability concrete
Self-compacting concrete

Advantages

Sika ViscoCrete -5930 is a multi-function product enabling the efficient

dispersion of cementitious materials and control of the hydration process. Concrete
properties are significantly enhanced with the use of Sika ViscoCrete -5930:

Water reduction
Workability
Higher early and ultimate strength development
Better shrinkage and creep behaviour.
Significantly better durability characteristics

Sika ViscoCrete -5930 does not contain chloride or other, steel corrosion promoting ingredients, It may therefore be used without any restrictions for reinforced
and prestressed concrete construction.

Addition

Sika ViscoCrete -5930 can be added to the gauging water or simultaneously into
the concrete mixer. To achieve maximum workability, mix for a minimum of 60
seconds. To avoid excess workability or potential segregation, add the remaining
mix water as late in the mix cycle as possible.

Concrete Placing

The standard rules of good concrete practice (production, placing, curing) must be
observed with Sika ViscoCrete -5930 concrete in order to maximise production
advantages.

Compatibility

Sika ViscoCrete -5930 may be combined with many other Sika products to
enhance a specific precast concrete application.
Always conduct trial mixes to prove the performance of the precast concrete
containing the combined products and contact Sika technical services department
for assistance.
