Description

The fibres are also used to reduce or eliminate problems associated with drying out, shrinkage and cracking. The fibres are supplied in 25kg packs, and have an indefinite shelf life.

Special Properties

• Available in lengths of 12mm, 20mm and 25mm.
• Fibres are made of stainless steel which is strong, tough and wear resistant.
• Quickly and easily dispersed without bundling to produce workable mixes.
• To produce steel reinforced concrete without the use of steel reinforcing or mesh.
• To minimise shrinkage, reduce or eliminate both plastic and long term shrinkage.
• Fibres prevent cracking to produce impermeable and durable cementitious products.
• Produces concrete which is stronger in compression. flexion and tension.
• The fibres are non absorbent, chemically resistant and will not degrade with time.
• To enhance the resistance of concrete against heat, impact, shock, abrasion, wear and tear.
• Economical, non flammable, non toxic, user friendly and safe to use. 

Uses

• For use in concrete placed in heavy engineering and railway workshops and shipyards.
• In heavy and massive machine assembly plants and factories.
• To repair and protect concrete against loading buckets, shovels and grabs.
• In areas where the traffic is steel wheeled or on caterpillars.
• To produce wear resistant concrete where there is heavy and frequent vehicular traffic.
• To produce high flexural and high tensile strength concrete and flooring materials.
• To eliminate cracking and crazing in cementitious screeds, thin toppings and coatings.
• Marine concrete, sea defences, harbours, jetties, docks and locks.
• To produce high strength, fracture resistant, precast concrete products such as manhole rings and covers, frames, posts, kerbs, tiles and slabs.
