This economy-grade fiber functions as a plastic shrinkage reinforcement intended to reduce the formation of shrinkage cracks prior to initial set and to reduce settlement shrinkage. It’s non-corrosive, chemically inert, and 100% acid and alkali proof.
This product is used in concrete applications such as slabs-on-ground, curbs, driveways, sidewalks, basement floors, garage floors, colored concrete, and small precast products—anywhere that the objective is to control plastic shrinkage cracking while improving basic durability properties. Requires no mix design or placement changes!
• Increase surface durability
• Reduce plastic and hardened concrete shrinkage
• Reduce settlement cracking
• Reduce settlement and bleeding
• Provide 3-dimensional reinforcement against micro-cracking
This product is typically used at a dosage rate of 1.0 lb/cu yd of concrete.

This product is an easy to finish micro synthetic fiber, made of 100% virgin homopolymer polypropylene in a collated fibrillated form. This medium-duty fiber offers good bonding power, long-term durability, and temperature/shrinkage control by incorporating a fibrillated pattern and long length option. It’s non-corrosive, non-magnetic, chemically inert, and 100% acid and alkali proof.
To inhibit plastic and settlement shrinkage cracking prior to the initial set, and to reduce hardened concrete shrinkage cracking, improve impact strength, and enhance concrete toughness and durability as an alternate temperature/shrinkage reinforcement.
Applications:
Normally used in quality concrete applications such as slabs- on-ground, overlays/toppings, curbs, sloped paving, driveways, sidewalks, basement floors, garage floors, architectural/colored concrete, precast, mortar, grout, water tanks, and sewage treatment facilities—anywhere that superior fiber performance is desired and where the objective is to control temperature/shrinkage cracking while improving basic durability properties. Requires no mix design or placement changes!
• Enhance durability
• Reduce plastic and hardened concrete shrinkage
• Reduce settlement cracking
• Provides nominal impact strength
• Increase post-cracking residual strength
• Increase concrete toughness
• Provide 3-dimensional reinforcement against micro-cracking
This product is typically used at a dosage rate of 1.5 lb/cu yd (0.9 kg/cu m) of concrete.
