One-component, early strength-gaining concrete containing factory blended coarse aggregate. For use as a structural repair material for parking facilities, industrial plants, walkways, bridges, tunnels, dams and balconies.
Sika Sikacrete 421 CI Rapid is a high-performance, one-component concrete designed for fast-setting, high-early-strength applications. It contains factory-blended coarse aggregate, eliminating the need for field extension, and includes an integral corrosion inhibitor for added durability. This prepackaged concrete is ideal for full-depth repairs in bridges, tunnels, industrial floors, and parking structures. Sikacrete 421 CI Rapid meets ASTM C-928 Type R3 rapid-hardening concrete standards, ensuring quick strength gain and excellent workability. Its air-entrained formulation enhances freeze-thaw resistance, making it suitable for various environments.
