| General Description |
REAL FIBRE are true monofilaments that totally disperse into the concrete mix when added at the batch plant or at the job site.
REAL FIBRE is available in various length and denier to provide optimum strength, reduced cracking and long-term concrete durability.

Advantages /
Benefits |
| Plastic Concrete |
| • |
Reduces segregation |
| • |
Minimizes bleed water
|
| • |
Controls or eliminates plastic shrinkage cracks |
| • |
Provides three-dimensional reinforcing versus two-dimensional with wire mesh |
| • |
Hardened Concrete |
| • |
Reduces cracking |
| • |
Increases strengths |
| • |
Reduces permeability |
| • |
Increases surface durability |
| Other |
| • |
Faster form removal, Reduces in-place cost versus concrete with wire mesh, Easy to use can be added to the concrete mix at any time prior to concrete placement |
|
|
| Recommended Dosage |
REAL FIBRE can be added any time prior to placement of the concrete. It is recommended that it be added at the ready-mix concrete plant during batching as it works equally well when introduced at the job site. It must be mixed with the concrete for a minimum of 5 minutes at maximum drum speed to assure total dispersion and uniformity. |
|
| Packaging |
REAL FIBRE is supplied in cartons (1 carton = 30 bags @ 0.6kg per bag) |
|
| Storage / Shelf Life |
REAL FIBRE can be stored for 1 year in tightly sealed original bag. |
