Polyvinyl Alcohol fibers reinforcement for concrete (8mm)
BATIMIX Fiber 670-8mm are high-performance polyvinyl alcohol fibers designed specifically for secondary reinforcing of concrete, stucco and precast. They provide optimum strength with improved resistance to cracking. They are used to control plastic shrinkage and improve abrasion resistance. At high dosages, they dramatically improve concrete flexural characteristics. They do not affect the curing process chemically. They are supplied in 8 mm length as Batimix Fiber 670-8mm and may also be available in alternative lengths of 6mms and 13 mms.
BATIMIX Fiber 670-8mm are made from carefully selected monofilaments that totally disperse into the concrete mix. Fibers are supplied in lengths of 8mm, to provide reduced cracking and long-term durability.
BATIMIX Fiber 670-8mm is used to produce concrete such as ready-mix, shotcrete, steel-reinforced, pumped, stucco, semi-dry and precast. Main uses include slabs, overlays, pipes, foundations, curbs, and patch repair. Polyvinyl alcohol fibers help the concrete at early ages, which is especially beneficial where stripping time and handling is important such as in semi-dry concrete applications. They are also used in self healing concrete mix designs.
Concrete prepared with BATIMIX Fiber 670-8mm is characterized by the following:
In the plastic state:
In the hardened state:
