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
