Nycon-XL-A

Monofilament, High Performance Acrylic, Small Denier, Micro-Macro

Nycon-XL-A monofilament micro-macro fibers are a high-dose fiber for thin and superior finish macro applications.

DESCRIPTION
NYCON-XL-A fiber products are ultra-fine (2d) monofilament, high-performance acrylic fibers for use in fiber reinforced concrete, stucco and shotcrete. NYCON-XL-A is specifically designed for use in concrete products for the purpose of controlling plastic shrinkage and thermal cracking, and post crack issues.

NYCON-XL-A meets the requirements of ASTM C-1116, Section 4.1.3, AC-32 at 0.5 lb (0.22 kg) per CY, and ASTM C-1399.

APPLICATIONS
NYCON-XL-A utilizes the mixing activity to disperse the fibers into the mix. NYCON-XL-A acts with an aggressive surface bond in the concrete with a multi-dimensional, fiber network. NYCON-XL-A does not affect curing process chemically.

NYCON-XL-A 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.

NYCON-XL-A used in shotcrete applications will increase the compaction and density of shotcrete, reducing rebound and permitting thicker layers per pass.

ADVANTAGES/BENEFITS
• Aggressive surface 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
