Application

SikaRapid®-2 is especially suitable for any application where fast early set and strength development plays a major role, or is of crucial importance within 6 to 24 hours. Typical applications include:

  • Precast concrete.
  • Prestressed concrete.
  • Making concrete in cold ambient temperatures.
  • Speeding up construction schedule.

Description

SikaRapid®-2 is a low alkali, chloride free liquid set accelerator for concrete and mortar which promotes early strength development without negatively influencing final strengths.


SikaRapid®-2 does not contain chlorides or any other ingredients which promote the corrosion of steel. It is therefore suitable for use in reinforced and prestressed concrete structures.


Features and benefits:

  • When applied with a HRWR/Superplasticiser, SikaRapid®-2 will have minimal effect on the fresh concrete properties.
  • Faster turnaround of formwork in precast applications.
  • Reduced or eliminated heat or steam curing.
  • Continuous concreting at low temperatures.
  • No negative effects on the final strengths.
