Fibercap 12 High performance polypropylene fibre

High performance polypropylene fibre
Technical Data Sheet

Uses
Fibercap 12 is primarily used as a crack controlling additive for cementitious materials. Typical applications are:
- Crack control in readymix concrete, precast concrete, conventional shotcrete, screeds, rendering mortars, microsilica concrete
- Concrete slabs, pavements, driveways, imprinted concrete
- Water retaining structures, marine concrete etc.
- Patch repair, thin section walling etc.

Dosage
The optimum dosage of Fibercap 12 to meet specific requirements should always be determined by trial mixes using the materials and conditions that will be experienced in use. For normal concrete a dosage between 0.6 to 1.0 kg/m3
may be used.

Description
Fibercap 12, is a high performance polypropylene fibre, developed as a crack controlling additive for cementitious
materials. It is available as monofilament 12mm in length for concrete and 6mm in length for plaster and mortar. It
is used to inhibit the formation of small cracks which can occur through plastic shrinkage, premature drying and
early thermal changes, in order to provide utilization of the intrinsic properties of the hardened cementitious material.
Fibercap 12 is based on selected raw materials and manufactured under controlled conditions to give a consistent product.
