Product Description

FIBRES are a fine monofilament polypropylene fibre material, which can be added to cementitious mixes to help prevent shrinking and cracking during the curing process. FIBRES also enhances the surface properties and durability of hardened cement based materials.  Ideal for use in concrete floor screeds, paths, driveways and garage/shed bases.

Typical Uses

• Internal floor slabs.
• Garages or shed bases.
• Driveways and paths.
• Underground construction
• Imprinted concrete driveways.

Features & Benefits

• Reduces shrinkage and cracking in mortar mixes.
• Improves freeze thaw resistance.
• Reduces permeability  of mixes.
• Improves impact and abrasion resistance.

• Reduces surface bleeding.

Instructions for Use

Use 90g of FIBRES to treat one 25Kg bag of cement. A suitable concrete mix relevant to the application must be used, e.g. for a shed base use 25kg of cement, 50kg sand and 100kg of gravel plus water. If not using 25kg of cement, proportion dose accordingly.

• Add aggregates (e.g sand or ballast).
• Add cement and mix thoroughly.
• Evenly mix FIBRES with the dry concrete mix. Ensure that the fibres are evenly dispersed within the dry mix.
• Add water and mix thoroughly.
• Concrete mix is now ready to be used.
