SELF-COMPACTING CONCRETE FOR FORMWORK REPAIRS
Description
Sika® Microcrete®-217 is a pre-bagged self-compacting concrete. It has very good flow properties and has been specifically developed to reduce heat generation. As such, large volume repairs may be performed without addition of aggregates. Sika® Microcrete®-217 contains blended cement, graded aggregates and additives which give rise to controlled expansion in both the plastic and hardened states.
