Providing an alternative to traditional steel mesh reinforcement has been sought after by concreters and shotcrete nozzlemen worldwide for more than 50 years. The answer, luckily, has come in the form of fibres.
Our fibre portfolio, MasterFiber, currently includes macro and micro synthetic fibres. And now the portfolio has grown once more…
Introducing MasterFiber 143: Polypropylene Fibre for Reinforcement in Sprayed Concrete & Cast Concrete Applications
MasterFiber 143 mixes uniformly throughout agitated concrete, anchoring within the cement matrix and improving durability and crack propagation resistance.
Recommended Uses of MasterFiber 143:
Ground slabs
Industrial flooring
Pavement
Precast elements
Underground environments
By utilising MasterFiber 143, concreters and nozzlemen save time and money through reduced construction times, transport and storage costs, manual handling, and shotcrete rebound/clean-up.
Dosing & Batching
MasterFiber 143 can be dosed and batched easily either at the batch plant or on-site concrete mixer truck before application. Its minor impact on flow and slump properties makes it easy to incorporate into the mix. Site trials should be conducted to verify the fibre's performance with the proposed mix, and to check the suitability and calibration of automated fibre dosing systems.
Packaging
MasterFiber 143 is available in 570kg pallets, with each pallet made up of 114 x 5kg mulchable boxes, and wrapped in water-soluble PVA to form.
