Application

SikaFiber®-50 HPP fibres are not subject to corrosion and can be considered, in many applications, as an alternative to both steel fabric and steel fibres.

  • Ground-supported slabs.
  • Sea defense.
  • External pavements.
  • Overlay's and topping.
  • Roads.
  • Airport pavements.
  • Precast.

Description

SikaFiber®-50 HPP is a macro-synthetic fibre designed specifically for the reinforcement of concrete and other cementitious mixes. SikaFiber®-50 HPP fibres have an engineered contoured profile, which serves to effectively anchor the fibres into the concrete, thus resisting matrix pull-out and enhancing the concrete's performance even after it has developed stress cracks. Efficient dispersion allows much higher dosage levels resulting in performance levels which extend beyond those achieved with traditional secondary reinforcement.


Features and benefits:

  • Increases flexural toughness.
  • Increases cohesion and reduces segregation.
  • Increases impact and shatter resistance.
  • Non-magnetic.
  • Rustproof.
  • Chemically inert and alkali proof.
  • Reduced wear on concrete pumps and hoses.
  • Safe and easy to handle.
  • Simplified logistics.
  • Economical alternative to steel wire mesh and/or steel fibres.
