Frequently Asked Questions

Concrete
  1. What is freeze-thaw durability?

  2. What is a structural slab on ground (grade)?

  3. What is a plain concrete slab on ground (grade)?

  4. What is the correct way to specify welded wire fabric (WWF) as secondary reinforcement in slabs-on-ground?

  5. When is the best time to introduce Nycon's synthetic fibers to a self-consolidating concrete (SCC) mix?

Nycon Fibers
  1. When is the best time to introduce the bags of fiber to a transit mixer?

  2. How do fibers affect workability?

  3. What Is the Minimum Dosage Level for Synthetic Fiber as a Secondary Reinforcement?

  4. Why does Nycon recommend that our fibers be introduced at the concrete plant?

  5. Can Nycon be used at one pound per cubic yard of concrete when specifications often require 1.5 pounds of other types of fiber?

  6. Can Nycon fibers be used to replace welded-wire fabric (WWF) in plain concrete slabs-on-ground applications?

  7. What effect do Nycon synthetic fibers have on the actual quantity of entrained air bubbles and their orientation in the concrete matrix?

  8. Nycon fibers retain moisture. Is this a problem especially in geographical areas with lots of freeze-thaw?

Nylon Fibers
  1. Why don't Nycon nylon fibers show up on slab surfaces?

  2. Are Nycon nylon fibers alkali-resistant? What are the long-term durability properties of Nycon nylon fibers?

  3. How are Nycon nylon fibers different from polypropylene fibers?

Steel Fibers
  1. Can synthetic "structural" fibers replace steel fibers?

  2. Are steel fibers economically feasible when compared to conventional reinforcement?

  3. What are the advantages of adding a blend of steel and synthetic fibers to the concrete?

  4. What is the best approach to cutting joints in steel fiber reinforced concrete?

  5. What is the optimum length and configuration of steel fiber to use for a given application?

  6. How do we finish steel fiber reinforced concrete slabs to eliminate fibers sticking out of the surface?

  7. How do the uses of steel fibers and synthetic fibers compare/differ as reinforcement for concrete?

  8. How is the proper quantity of steel fiber for a given set of project parameters determined?

  9. What is the difference between A820 Type I and Type II steel fibers?

  10. Do steel fibers rust?

  11. What is the best method to use to introduce steel fibers to the mixing system?

AR Glass Fibers
  1. Zirconium a coating on the AR-glass fiber or an integral ingredient of the fiber's composition?

  2. Are there any health issues relating to AR-glass fibers?

  3. To what length can AR-glass fibers be cut?

  4. How do AR-glass fibers compare to nylon, polypropylene and polyolefin fibers for mixing, placing and finishing

  5. How do AR-glass fibers compare to synthetic fibers?

  6. What about the long-term stability of AR-glass fibers vs. earlier types of glass fibers?

  7. If AR-glass is such a great reinforcement, why hasn't it been sold in the U.S. before now?

  8. Are glass fibers a proven reinforcement in concrete?

  9. Which AR-glass fibers are recommended for ready-mix concrete?

Macro Fibers
  1. How do NyconXL macro fibers compare to other high-dosage, or so-called "structural" fibers?

  2. Can synthetic "structural" fibers replace steel fibers?
