Nycon-PVA RECS15

PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol), Small Denier, Superior Bond

ULTRA-HIGH PERFORMANCE FIBERS
PVA fibers are unique in their ability to create a fully-engaged molecular bond with mortar and concrete that is 300% greater than other fibers.

DESCRIPTION
NYCON-PVA RECS15 fiber products are 8 denier, monofilament PVA fibers for use in fiber reinforced concrete, stucco and precast. NYCON-PVA RECS15 is specifically designed for use in concrete products for the purpose of controlling plastic shrinkage, thermal cracking and improving abrasion resistance. When NYCON-PVA RECS15 is used at high doses it can dramatically improve flexural characteristics of concrete products.

NYCON-PVA RECS15 meets the requirements of ASTM C-1116, Section 4.1.3 and AC-32 at 1.0 lb (0.45 kg) per CY.

APPLICATIONS
NYCON-PVA utilizes the mixing activity to disperse the fibers into the mix. NYCON-PVA acts with a molecular bond in the concrete with a multi-dimensional fiber network. NYCON-PVA does not affect curing process chemically.

NYCON-PVA can be used in all types of concrete. Synthetic fibers help the concrete at early ages, which is especially beneficial where stripping time and handling is important.

ADVANTAGES / BENEFITS
• Molecular bond with the concrete
• Reduces the formation of plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete
• Provides multi-dimensional reinforcement
• Improves impact, shatter and abrasion resistance of concrete
• Enhances durability and toughness of concrete
• Excellent, “no fuzz” finishability
