Self Consolidating Concrete (SCC) is a type of concrete that is characterized by its high fluidity and resistance to segregation. It is a mix of cement, aggregates, admixtures, and water that is designed to flow and fill formwork without the need for vibration. SCC is used in a variety of applications, including precast and tilt-up construction, bridge decks, and other infrastructure projects. SCC is a relatively new product in the cement and concrete market, but its use is growing rapidly due to its many advantages. It is easier to place and finish than traditional concrete, and it can reduce labor costs and construction time. Additionally, SCC can reduce the risk of honeycombing and other defects, resulting in a higher quality product. Some of the major companies in the SCC market include BASF, CEMEX, LafargeHolcim, Sika, and The Euclid Chemical Company. Show Less Read more
