ProConF fibers are engineered for high-performance, nonstructural flatwork, precast and shotcrete applications. Nycon's total-quality fibers produce a tougher, more durable, low-maintenance concrete, and outperform all other fibers in prolonging the service life of concrete.
Description
- Collated fibrillated polypropylene tape fiber manufactured from 100% virgin homopolymer polypropylene.
- Fiber bundle design, comprised of main and cross fibrils, which break down into mini-bundles during mixing, opening like a net.
- Hydrophobic (repels water), chemically inert, non-corrosive, non-magnetic.
- 0.75" (19 mm).
- Meets ASTM C1116 and ICC ES AC32.
Dosage
- Typically 1.5 pound/y3 (0.9kg/m3)
- Can be used in applications where dosage level is two pounds and above, i.e. UTW.
Value/Benefit in Concrete
- As plastic shrinkage reinforcement, reduces initial cracking and settlement.
- As secondary reinforcement is more effective than wire mesh in preventing shrinkage cracking.
- Enhances bond due to lattice network design.
- Good critical fiber spacing to reduce micro-macro cracking.
- Produces low-maintenance longer-life-cycle concrete with reduced permeability, improved abrasion and impact resistance and fatigue strength.
Applications
- Interior/exterior, industrial/commercial slabs
- Shotcrete and Gunite
- Cast-in-place
- Elevated decks
- Environmental containment
- Ultra-thin whitetopping (UTW)
