Description and Properties
“FIBER-PLUS” polypropylene microfibre by BAYRIS is an innovative polymer product offering the following advantages: approximately 250,000,000 fibres per 1 kg; improved frost resistance and waterproofing performance of concrete; enhanced tensile and impact strength of concrete; minimised shrinkage and prevention of cracking. “FIBER-PLUS” by BAYRIS is a polypropylene reinforcing fibre designed to improve the physical, mechanical and performance characteristics of reinforced concrete structures and construction mortars. The product does not damage construction equipment or tools and is compatible with all concrete and mortar additives (plasticisers) by BAYRIS.
“FIBER-PLUS” polypropylene fibres (microfibre) are used in the production of all types and grades of concrete for residential and industrial construction. Suitable for paving slabs (block paving), blind areas, concrete slabs and foam concrete production. Ideally suited for use in underfloor heating systems. Polypropylene fibre can also be used in waterproof plastering mortars, cement-sand screeds and monolithic wall casting.
Product Preparation and Application
Product preparation: if stored or transported at sub-zero temperatures, the product must be conditioned at a temperature of at least +5 °C for no less than 12 hours before use.
Dosage: dosing of “FIBER-PLUS” microfibre by BAYRIS does not require specialised equipment or tools. It is recommended to add the microfibre at the initial stage of mixing. For improved dispersion, the microfibre may be added to the mixing water.
Mixing: “FIBER-PLUS” microfibre by BAYRIS can be mixed manually or mechanically using gravity or forced-action mixers. The microfibre must be thoroughly mixed until the fibres are evenly distributed throughout the mass. Approximate mixing time at the recommended dosage: up to 7 minutes (manual mixing), up to 3 minutes (mechanical mixing), until uniform distribution is achieved when added to ready-mix concrete or mortar.
Characteristics: fibre length (mm) – 12. Single fibre diameter (μm) – 20. Chemical resistance to acids, alkalis and solvents – complete resistance. Modulus of elasticity (N/mm², minimum) – 3500. Tensile strength (N/mm², minimum) – 400. Melting point (°C) – 160. Colour – translucent white, milky white.
Consumption: 0.6–0.9 kg/m³: cement-sand screeds, concrete paths, blind areas, construction mortars, plaster, foam concrete, polystyrene concrete, decorative gypsum and concrete cast products;
0.9–1.8 kg/m³: underfloor heating systems, parking areas, outdoor platforms, roads (light traffic load);
1.8–2.4 kg/m³: hydraulic structures.
ATTENTION!
Safety measures: follow general safety and hygiene regulations. The use of personal respiratory protective equipment is recommended.
“FIBER-PLUS” by BAYRIS is a polypropylene microfibre designed for dispersed reinforcement and for improving the physical, mechanical and performance properties of reinforced concrete structures and construction mortars.
