Sikament® TP

Initial Set and Workability Extending Superplasticizer and Waterproofing Admixture for Concrete

Sikament® TP is used as a highly effective water reducing agent and superplasticizer for the production of high quality concrete in hot climates. The dual action of Sikament® TP extends the workability and initial setting of high quality concrete whilst promoting later accelerated hardening and high early and ultimate strengths.

Sikament® TP provides the following properties :
  • Substantial improvement in workability without increased water
  • Initial set and workability extension in hot climates
  • Accelerated hardening after setting
  • Significant increase of early and ultimate strengths
  • Especially suitable for concreting at elevated temperatures
  • Increased watertightness
  • Improved surface finish
  • Reduced shrinkage and creep
  • Chloride-free, does not attack reinforcement
  • Increased resistant to wear and abrasion

Usage

Sikament® TP is used to produce high workability concrete for:
  • Slabs and foundations
  • Walls and columns
  • Slender components with densely packed reinforcement
  • Beams and ceilings
  • Water-tanks, swimming pools
  Sikament® TP is used where high early and ultimate strength being required such as:
  • Pre-stressed concrete elements
  • Concrete elements manufactured in precast factories, where rapid demoulding and early load application being required
  • Bridges and cantilever structures
