PAVILAND^® FIBRA MACRO CO-PO

Features and applications

• No surface sharp ends after the incorporation of the wearing course (Paviland Industrial / Industrial CR / Industrial MT) and polishing.
• Double mesh or steel fibres are not required to provide the structural resistance to bending of the concrete.
• Optimizes application times and therefore labour costs. It does not damage any equipment or tools when applying it.
• Specially recommended for concretes exposed to saline environments. Increases the lifespan of concrete.
• It reduces the number of cracks caused by thermal shrinkage supporting concrete structures exposed to freeze-thaw cycles.
• It improves the concrete properties thanks to the distribution of the fibre within the concrete.
• It improves the resistance of concrete against breakage, impact and abrasion.
• Recommended to be added in precast elements concrete, coastal and marine structures, industrial pavements and tunnels.

Instructions for use

• Add directly to the concrete while mixing in a concrete mixer or to the aggregate conveyor belt in the plant.
• The dosage varies between 2.5 and 5 Kg/m³ of concrete, depending on the project requirement.
• Increase the fluidity of the cone between 4 and 6 cm with regards to the desired final cone, using fluidifier additives and / or superplasticizers.
• It is recommended to add the fibre little by little (from 5 to 5 kg), kneading for at least 2 minutes each time the product is added and performing a final 3-minute kneading.

Cautions and recommendations
