Description
Sika® Fibre is a monofilament polypropylene fibre for use in concrete to reduce the incidence of plastic shrinkage cracking. Sika® Fibre increases the strain capacity of the fresh concrete therefore reducing plastic cracking.
Uses
Sika® Fibre is ideal for use in concrete used to produce:
- Floor slabs
- Driveways
- Tilt slabs
- Floor toppings
- Precast units
- Coloured concrete
Sika® Fibre can be used in both dry and wet shotcrete applications such as:
- Pools
- Channels
- Retaining walls
- Building restoration
Advantages
Sika® Fibre provides the following benefits:
- Less plastic shrinkage cracking
- Increased resistance to impacts and shattering
- Increased abrasion resistance
- Non staining
When used in shotcrete the benefits are:
- Reduced rebound waste
- Thicker layer builds
- Reduced sag
- Increased fatigue resistance
- Alkali and dust proof
- Non staini
