MasterFiber F 018
Fibrillated Micro Polypropylene Fibre for Concrete
How Does MasterFiber F 018 Work?
MasterFiber F 018 is a 100 per cent virgin polypropylene, microfibrillated fibre designed to provide a high-performance concrete reinforcement system. MasterFiber F 018 is specifically engineered and manufactured to be used for the reduction of plastic shrinkage cracks, to improve impact, shatter, and abrasion resistance, to increase fatigue resistance, and to increase the toughness of concrete and cement-based building products. MasterFiber F 018 meets the material specifications described in ASTM C-1116, Type III, Section 4.1.3 “Synthetic Fibre-Reinforced Concrete and Shotcrete”.
What Are the Benefits of MasterFiber F 018?
MasterFiber F 018 aids in the issues that arise from curing concrete by promoting a uniform bleed profile and reducing bleed water. By increasing the strain capacity of fresh concrete, MasterFiber F 018 also minimises plastic shrinkage and plastic settlement in addition to:
Increased impact, shatter, and abrasion resistance of concrete
Increased fatigue resistance and concrete toughness
Increased cohesion
Reduced segregation
Reduced freeze/thaw damage
