FIBERMIX
Microfiber FiberMix® is a high-effective monofilament fiber. Polypropylene fiber is developed for reducing microplastic shrinkage and cracking during concrete hardening, also for improvement of concrete strength and its surface quality. Fibers are also used in mixes and mortars for increasing tensile strength in bending, decreasing risk of segregation.
Microfiber is an economically efficient and high-quality alternative to steel mesh for controlling crack formation.
Advantages
Usage
General
Miscellaneous
- Reduces microplastic shrinkage and cracking of concrete.
- Replaces steel mesh.
- Reduces penetration of water and chemicals.
- Doesn’t break, distributes homogeneously in concrete/mortar.
- Improves resistance to freezing and thawing of concrete.
- Improves impact resistance of concrete, coagulation resistance, fatigue resistance, seismic performance.
- Increases concrete durability and aging resistance.
- Improves fire resistance of concrete.
When laying concrete, the standard concrete laying procedures must be followed. FiberMix® microfiber is added to the mixer before, during or after dosing of other concrete materials.
Dosage
FiberMix® microfiber is ready to use with 0,9 kg/m³ mortar or concrete. If you want only a reduction in cracking, just use 0,6 kg/m³ of concrete or mortar.
Overdose
An overdose of FiberMix® microfiber typically causes decreasing in performance and increasing the cohesiveness of the mixture.
Compatibility FiberMix® microfiber is compatible with all commonly-used concrete additives and performance-enhancing chemicals.
Health and Safety FiberMix® microfiber is non-ignitable and not harmful to human health.
Storage FiberMix® microfiber in a closed original bag has a shelf life of 36 months from manufacturing date. Under the condition that the fiber is stored in a dru place at a temperature of 0 to +40°C and without exposure to direct sunlight.
Packing and Transportation Transparent PE packs of 0,6 / 0,9 kg; packing in a bag of 18kg; 540 kg per pallet. Fibers must be transported under conditions that prevent moisture from entering the packaging.
