SikaFiber® Force-48
48 mm long synthetic macro fibers for concrete and sprayed concrete
SikaFiber® Force-48 are 48 mm long polyolefin macro fiber complying with ASTM C1116, Type III. SikaFiber® Force-48 is intended for use in concrete and sprayed concrete. Specifically engineered and manufactured in a ISO 9001 certified facility.
- High increased energy absorption for sprayed concrete at lower dosage rates
- Cost-effective, three-dimensional reinforcement alternative to secondary wire mesh or rebar, and steel fibers.
- Can be utilized to reduce rebar or wire mesh
- Increased safety on job site; remove lifting of reinforcement, bending to tie, and remove tripping hazard
- Reduction in construction time. No cutting, placing, tying, and chairing required
- Reducing embodied carbon through the replacement of convention steel reinforcement with synthetic structural fibers
- Increase ductility, flexural toughness and post first crack reinforement of concrete.
- Increased durability due to high chemical resistance and corrosion free
- Inhibits plastic shrinkage and settlement cracking
- Greater energy absorption at higher displacements
- Improves impact, shatter, and abrasion resistance of concrete.
- Reduces permeability
- Pumpable reinforcement with reduced wear on pumps and hoses
- Toss in degradable bags make it easy to batch.
