FIBERCAST® 500 - 6mm
Fibercast® 500-6mm, formerly Harbourite®6mm, micro-reinforcement system for concrete is
100 percent virgin homopolymer polypropylene fine fibrillated fibres containing no reprocessed
olefin materials. Fibercast® 500-6mm fibres are European Standard EN 14889-2:2006
compliant and have been specifically engineered and manufactured in an ISO 9001:2000
certified facility for use as reinforcement for precast concrete elements and other special
cementitious mixs at the recommended dosage rate of 0.9 kg per cubic metre (0.1% by volume)
for effective performance.
ADVANTAGES
Non-magnetic • Rustproof • Alkali proof • Requires no minimum amount of concrete cover • Is
always positioned in compliance with codes • Safe and easy to use • Saves time and hassle
FEATURES & BENEFITS
• Provides increased green (early age) strength
• Increases cohesion and reduces segregation
• Reduces settlement and bleeding
• Inhibits and controls the formation of intrinsic cracking in concrete
• Reduces plastic shrinkage and settlement cracking
• Increases impact and shatter resistance
• Reinforces against abrasion
• Reduces freeze/thaw damage
• Provides improved toughness/ durability
• Provides residual strength
• Reduces rebound and material waste in sprayed concrete
• Permits thicker layer per pass in sprayed concrete
• Alternate system to traditional reinforcement when used for secondary (crack
control) reinforcing in concrete.
