SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainable construction is achievable with Sika’s MonoTop range Sustainable construction has a multitude of benefits – including uncompromised population health, and increased productivity. A proactive approach to research and sustainability has led Sika to develop a new and improved range of concrete repair mortars called Sika MonoTop.
A
key feature of the Sika MonoTop range is its sustainable, low cement content, which contributes to reducing Sika’s carbon footprint. The range has four different variations, each with a unique set of properties, thus setting them apart in the market:
SIKA MONOTOP-1010 Sika MonoTop-1010 is an improved rebar corrosion protection mortar. It is also a bonding primer, tested for application under live dynamic loads in conjunction with Sika MonoTop-4012. A reduced carbon footprint of approximately 25%, compared to an equivalent mortar, makes it a first-choice amongst the best. It is a slurry that has reduced dust formation during mixing, comprises corrosion inhibitors, provides excellent resistance against water and
