Sika® Control 40

Sika® Control 40 is a highly effective shrinkage-reducing admixture for concrete that helps minimize cracking caused by shrinkage during the curing process. This product is designed to reduce both plastic and drying shrinkage in concrete, improving its dimensional stability and long-term durability. Sika® Control 40 is ideal for use in applications where reduced shrinkage is crucial, such as in large concrete pours, pavements, and structural elements exposed to harsh environmental conditions.

Application:

• Ready-mix Concrete: Ideal for use in ready-mix concrete, Sika® Control 40 reduces shrinkage, minimizing the risk of cracking during the curing process and improving the concrete’s dimensional stability.
• Mass Concrete: Perfect for large pours in mass concrete applications, such as foundations and slabs, where shrinkage control is essential to prevent cracking and ensure structural integrity.
• Precast Concrete: Suitable for precast elements, ensuring better control over shrinkage during curing, which reduces the potential for cracks and improves the quality of the finished product.
• Pavement and Roads: Ideal for pavements and road constructions, Sika® Control 40 helps reduce shrinkage cracking, resulting in longer-lasting, durable surfaces.
• Slabs and Floors: Reduces cracking and improves the durability of concrete slabs, floors, and other flatwork applications.
• Harsh Environmental Exposure: Perfect for applications in harsh environments, including freeze-thaw conditions and chemical exposure, where dimensional stability is critical for long-term durability.
• Concrete for Structural Elements: Suitable for structural elements that require high durability, like beams, columns, and walls, to minimize cracking and shrinkage-related issues over time.
