Sika® ViscoCrete® ACE 8320

(former MasterGlenium® ACE 8320)

High activity superplasticiser / water reducer admixture for high performance concrete

Sika Viscocrete ACE 8320 is a high activity superplasticizer / water reducing admixture especially designed for the manufacture of concrete with a specific demand for initial resistance, allowing the reduction of the curing cycles in the field of precast in thermal curing and even permitting its total elimination. Using Sika Viscocrete ACE 8320 self compacting concrete can be produced which allows for laying concrete without vibration and minimizing the curing energy.

  • Great fluidification and water reduction power - Makes the laying and compacting via vibration easier. High quality finishes.
  • Increases the initial and final set of concrete - High early strength in short period of time.
  • Does not produce delayed settings – Allows for the reduction of curing cycles (in temperature or time) and even for its complete elimination.
  • Excellent cohesion - Allows for fluid concrete with low water cement ratio, without segregation nor bleeding. Improves the waterproofing and durability of the concrete by decreasing its porosity.TYPICAL PERFORMANCE DATA

Application

Application Information

Dispensing

It is recommended to add Sika Viscocrete ACE 8320 to the last part of mixing water. It can be added directly to the mixing lorry, always respecting the minimum mixing time for its complete homogenization. Do not add to dry mix.
Consumption

Recommended dosage

The usual dosage of Sika Viscocrete ACE 8320 is 0.5 – 2.5% over cementitious weight, depending on the characteristics and quantity of the materials used, the consistency and water reduction required.

Higher dosages, up to approximately 3% over cementitious weight are possible, with prior tests.

It is recommended to carry out the necessary tests to determine the optimum dosage in each case.
