Sika ViscoCrete powder additive for dry mortar

Dry Mortar

Dry mix mortars are factory pre-batched multi-component systems. They are used for many different applications in both new construction and renovation projects. Typical uses include screeds, plasters and masonry mortars, floor levelling compounds, tile adhesives and grouts. Many other specialist products such as repair mortars, waterproofing and sealing slurries and injection mortars are also based on dry mortar technology.

Gypsum building elements on a construction site

Gypsum

Gypsum, chemically known as calcium sulphate dihydrate, is one of the most important minerals used in the production of construction materials. Today, the majority of gypsum binder, so-called calcined gypsum, is used for the manufacture of gypsum boards. Also known as plasterboards or drywall, they are lightweight building elements primarily used as an interior surfacing for building walls and ceilings. Gypsum board walls and ceilings have a number of outstanding advantages: they are fire-resistant, sound-attenuating, durable, economical and versatile.

Ruiskubetoni

Ruiskutettu betoni vaatii yhdistelmän monia nykyaikaista betonitekniikkaa, erityisesti betonin sekoituskemiaa, sekä materiaalinkäsittelytekniikkaa. Kasvavat vaatimukset kustannustehokkuudelle sekä terveyden ja ympäristön suojelemiselle tarkoittavat, että ruiskutettua betonia on kehitetty jatkuvasti. Yli sadan vuoden kokemuksen, asiantuntevan tietämyksen sekä suorituskykyyn ja talouteen keskittymisen ansiosta Sika pystyy tarjoamaan uusimman sukupolven ruiskutettavia betoniratkaisuja.

Vesitiivis betonijärjestelmä

Vedeneristys suojaa rakenteita veden tunkeutumiselta, joka voi aiheuttaa kalliita ja peruuttamattomia vaurioita. Se on enimmäkseen näkymätön rakentamisen valmistuttua. Joka päivä rakennuksen kellari tai tunnelin uloin kerros altistetaan voimakkaille kosteustasojen ja lämpötilojen heilahteluille, mitkä kaikki osaltaan vaikuttavat tilojen vaurioitumiseen. Sika tarjoaa kestäviä vedeneristysjärjestelmiä projektisi suojaamiseksi.
