SikaRapid®-1 — Liquid Hardening Accelerator for Concrete & Mortar

SikaRapid®-1 is a liquid hardening accelerator for concrete and mortar that meets the requirements for hardening accelerators to EN 934-2. It promotes early strength development without negatively affecting final strengths - depending on dosage, early strength in the first 24 hours can be increased substantially. It does not contain chlorides or other steel-corrosion-promoting ingredients and is suitable for reinforced concrete. When used with a superplasticiser it does not change the fresh concrete properties produced by that superplasticiser.

Recommended uses

  • Fast early-strength concrete (6-24 hours critical)
  • Precast concrete with rapid stripping
  • Cold-weather concreting
  • Early load or formwork removal
