SikaRapid-1

SikaRapid-1 is a high-performance liquid set accelerating admixture specially formulated to accelerate the initial setting time and early strength development of concrete and mortar. It enhances construction efficiency by enabling faster formwork removal, quicker turnaround times, and improved productivity while maintaining excellent workability and long-term concrete durability.

Advantages

SikaRapid®-1 provides the following advantages through accelerated hardening of the concrete:

• Faster turnaround of formwork in precast applications
• Reduced or eliminated heat or steam curing
• Fast construction processes and early load bearing capacity
• Continuous concreting at low temperatures
• No negative effects on the final strengths

When applied with a superplasticizer, SikaRapid®-1 will not change the fresh concrete properties produced by the superplasticizer. SikaRapid®-1 does not contain chlorides or any other ingredients which promote the corrosion of steel. It is therefore suitable for use in reinforced concrete
