Synthetic Microfiber, Monofilament
PSI FIBERSTRAND 150 is a monofilament polypropylene micro-fiber for concrete reinforcement that complies with ASTM C 1116, Standard Specification for Fiber Reinforced Concrete and Shotcrete, and is specifically designed to help mitigate the formation of plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete. Typically used at a dosage rate of 0.67 lb/yd³ to 1.0 lb/yd³ (0.4 - 0.6 kg/m³), PSI FIBERSTRAND 150 micro-fibers have been shown to greatly reduce plastic shrinkage cracking when compared to plain concrete. PSI FIBERSTRAND 150 micro-fibers also comply with applicable portions of the International Code Council (ICC) Acceptance Criteria AC32 for synthetic fibers.
Features & Benefits
- Controls and mitigates plastic shrinkage cracking
- Reduces segregation, plastic settlement and bleed-water
- Provides three-dimensional reinforcement against micro-cracking
- Increases surface durability, impact and abrasion resistance
- Reduction of in-place cost versus wire mesh for non-structural temperature / shrinkage crack control
- Easily added to concrete mixture at any time prior to placement
Applications
- Slabs on grade, sidewalks, driveways, curb work, overlays and toppings
- Footings, foundations, walls and tank applications
- Stucco applications, pre-cast concrete and pre-stressed beams
- Shotcrete, slope paving and composite steel deck construction
