Sika® ViscoCrete®-3115 N
Concrete Admixture for High Flow / Self-Compacting Concrete
DESCRIPTION
FEATURES
Sika® ViscoCrete®-3115 N is a third generation super-
plasticiser for concrete and mortar. It is particularly Sika® ViscoCrete®-3115 N acts by surface adsorption

coCrete®-3115 N exhibits the following properties :
USES ▪ Excellent flowability (resulting in highly reduced pla-
cing and compacting efforts)

▪ Improved shrinkage and creep behaviour
Sika® ViscoCrete®-3115 N is used for the following
▪ Increased carbonation resistance of the concrete
types of concrete :
▪ High flow concrete ▪ Improved finish
▪ Self-compacting concrete (S.C.C.) Sika® ViscoCrete®-3115 N does not contain chlorides
or other ingredients which promotes steel corrosion.

TECHNICAL INFORMATION
Concreting guidance The standard rules of good concreting practice, concerning production and
placing, are to be followed.
Laboratory trials before concreting on site are strongly recommended
when using a new mix design or producing new concrete components.
Fresh concrete must be cured properly and as early as possible.
APPLICATION INFORMATION
Recommended dosage For soft plastic concrete 0.3 – 0.8 % by weight of binder
For flowing and self compacting 0.8 – 2.0 % by weight of binder
concrete (S.C.C.)
Compatibility Sika® ViscoCrete®-3115 N may be combined with the following products:
▪ Plastiment® P121R
▪ Plastiment® VZ
▪ Sika® Fume
▪ SikaFibre®
Do not use viscocrete / viscoflow series combined with sikament series.
To produce flowing and / or self-compacting concrete, special concrete
mix design is required.
Pre-trials are recommended and mandatory if combinations with the
above products are required.
Please consult to our Technical Service Department.
