Construction Fibers

Cem-FIL® 60 is a high integrity AR glass fibre chopped strand designed for premixing with other materials and the resulting mix is formed by vibration casting or other processes into molded GRC components. It can also be used as a component of repair mortars to enhance their performance.

BENEFITS

• High integrity during mixing
• Low-Tex strand
• Easy incorporation
• High performance with low dosage
• Excellent reproduction of detail
• Good level of workability
• Reduced water demand compared to other fibers
• Improves mechanical performance of GRC elements
• Makes highly durable GRC elements
• Safe and easy to handle

APPLICATIONS
The high integrity of the product makes it suitable for use in a variety of production processes including vibration-casting, pumping, spraying, or dry-blending with other materials.

Cem-FIL® 60 chopped strands are designed for ease of incorporation even at high dosage and remain integral during mixing. It is used in the manufacture of repair mortars, standard GRC components such as drainage channels or meter boxes, or in architectural applications such as decorative screen walling and ornate moldings.

Cem-FIL® 60’s hydrophobic behavior makes the mix more fluid and that ensures better compaction and easier release of trapped air.

Anti-Crak® HD (High Dispersion) is an engineered AR-glass chopped strand designed for mixing in concrete and all hydraulic mortars. The fibers are manufactured with high Zirconium content in compliance with ASTM C1666/C 1666/M-07 and EN 15422 and under the recommendations of PCI and GRCA.

ADVANTAGES :

• High dispersion (220 million filaments per kg, 100 million per lb)
• Excellent workability
• Invisible on the finished surface
• Does not corrode
• Control and prevention of cracking in fresh concrete
• Overall enhancement of durability and mechanical properties of concrete
• Effective at very low dosage
• Homogeneous mix
• Safe and easy to handle

APPLICATION
Anti-Crak® HD fibers are typically used at low addition level to prevent cracking & improve the performance of concrete, flooring, renders or other special mortar mixes. They incorporate easily into mixes creating a tridimensional homogeneous network of reinforcement in the matrix.

Anti-Crak® HD fibers can be added at the central mixing plant to the wet concrete mix; or directly into the ready-mix truck.

Anti-Crak® HD fibers do not protrude through the surface and require no additional finishing procedures. The reinforcement is incorporated in the concrete mass and is invisible on the finished surface.
