Product type
Self Compacting Concrete (SCC) is a highly flowable type of concrete that can spread into place and fill the formwork without the need for mechanical vibration. It is made from a combination of cement, fine aggregates, coarse aggregates, water, and chemical admixtures that enhance its fluidity and stability. SCC is designed to achieve high strength and durability while ensuring a smooth finish.
| Compressive strength | Typically ranges from 20 MPa to 60 MPa |
| Slump flow | Usually between 600 mm to 800 mm |
| Air content | Generally between 5% to 10% |
| Maximum aggregate size | Commonly up to 20 mm |
| Setting time | Initial set typically within 2 to 4 hours |
When selecting Self Compacting Concrete, buyers should consider the specific compressive strength required for their project, as well as the desired slump flow to ensure proper placement. It is also important to specify the maximum aggregate size and any particular admixtures needed for performance. Certifications related to quality control and compliance with local standards may also be necessary, depending on the project requirements.

The main advantage is its ability to flow and fill formwork without the need for vibration, reducing labor costs and improving finish quality.
While SCC is versatile, it is best suited for applications where complex shapes and dense reinforcement are present.
SCC is designed to be more fluid and cohesive, allowing it to self-level and compact under its own weight, unlike traditional concrete which requires mechanical vibration.
Curing times for SCC are similar to traditional concrete, typically requiring at least 7 days for optimal strength development.
Yes, SCC can be more expensive due to the specialized materials and admixtures used to achieve its properties.
Factors include the mix design, quality of materials, environmental conditions, and the presence of admixtures.
