Sika® ViscoCrete® ACE 8360

(former MasterGlenium® ACE 8360)

High-range Superplasticizer for precast manufacturing.

Sika Viscocrete ACE 8360 is an innovative polycarboxylate ether (PCE) based superplasticizer  /high range water reducing admixture ideally suited for the precast industry.  Due to a specifically tailored formulation, this admixture shows excellent dispersion of cement at low water to binder ratio.  As a result, Sika Viscocrete ACE 8360 provides exceptional high early strength development.

Sika Viscocrete ACE 8360 offers the following benefits for the precast concrete industry:
  • High impermeability and strength
  • Improved and excellent durability
  • Very high workability
  • No segregation even at high workability
  • Excellent concrete quality
  • Produce rheoplastic and self compacting concrete at low w/c ratio
  • Optimize curing cycle by shortening curing time or decreasing curing temperature
  • Eliminate or reduce heat curing
  • Eliminate or reduce energy required for placing, consolidation and heat curing
  • Increased productivity
  • Improved surface appearance 
  • Produce durable precast concrete elements
  • Increased use of supplementary cementitious materials such as fly ash.
  • As compared to the traditional superplasticizers, improve engineering properties such as early and ultimate compressive and flexural strengths.

Application Information

Dispensing

Sika Viscocrete ACE 8360 is a liquid admixture to be added to the concrete during the mixing process. The best results are obtained when the admixture is added after all the other components are already in the mixer and after the addition of at least 80% of the total water.

Consumption

Recommended dosage

The recommended dosage rate of Sika Viscocrete ACE 8360 is 0.5 to 1.5 litres per 100 kg of Cementitious material (binder).  Other dosages may be used in special cases according to specific job site conditions.  In this case, please consult our Sika representative.
