Sika® Fibercast®-500
MICRO-SYNTHETIC FIBER
Sika® Fibercast®-500, micro-reinforcement system for concrete is100 percent virgin homopolymer polypropylene fibers. Specifically engineered and manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified manufacturing facility for use as reinforcement for concrete applications. Sika® Fibercast®-500 was previously Fibercast 500 or SikaFiber PPF-500.
- Provides increased green (early age) strength
- Increases cohesion and reduces segregation
- Inhibits and controls the formation of intrinsic cracking in concrete
- Reduces plastic shrinkage and settlement cracking
- Reinforces against the effect of shattering forces
- Reinforces against abrasion
- Helps reduce cracking due to freeze / thaw
- Inhibits water migration
- Permits thicker layer per passing of sprayed concrete
- Reduces rebound and material waste in sprayed concrete
