Abstract
SIKA Rapid-1 is a concrete admixture that allows the development of very early high strengths in concrete consisting of commonly used mix components. Unlike concrete set accelerators, it does not reduce set time or long-term strength, and it does not corrode steel reinforcing. This hardening accelerator allows placement of fresh concrete without early stiffening, followed by a period of very rapid strength gain after initial set.
