Sika® ViscoCrete®-2002 HE
High-early-strength polycarboxylate superplasticiser and water reducer
Product Overview
Sika® ViscoCrete®-2002 HE is a high-performance superplasticising admixture based on a modified polycarboxylate that imparts very high workability while allowing a large reduction in water content and delivering high early strength. Its advanced dispersion action breaks up cement agglomerates to produce a uniformly cohesive, free-flowing, high-quality concrete with improved density, durability and reduced drying shrinkage. The combination of strong water reduction and rapid early strength makes it ideal where fast formwork turnaround or early loading matters, such as precast and prestressed works and cold-weather concreting. Ready-mix producers, precasters and infrastructure contractors specify it for demanding, high-performance pours. Space Arc Engineering, an Authorized Project Distributor for Sika in India, supplies ViscoCrete®-2002 HE in drums and bulk with mix-optimisation support for projects across the country.
