Bio-based filler mortar rheology: SikaRecent Research Landscape

Premature curing in lightweight mortars leads to high material waste and poor bond strength. These innovations engineer the chemical hydration rate to maintain workability without sacrificing final setting speed.

What technical problems is Sika addressing in Bio-based filler mortar rheology?

High carbon footprint binder instability

(9)evidences

Conventional mineral binders lack inherent electrical conductivity and environmental sustainability. Overcoming these limitations allows for multifunctional infrastructure capable of self-sensing or heating while reducing carbon footprints.

High pump pressure workability loss

(6)evidences

Standard lightweight fills and screeds suffer from delayed curing and low early-age structural stability. Accelerating the transition from fluid to solid state prevents construction delays and material slump on inclined surfaces.
