HomeMy WebLinkAboutCG4 AND A17ENDURO 600 MACRO -SYNTHETIC FIBER
ENDURO 600 is the latest high performance macro -synthetic fiber developed from the
innovative HPP technology which was pioneered and patented by Fbermesh. ENDURO
600 has been specifically designed to satisfy the demanding requirements of modern
day concrete and shotcrete re, nforcement and equipment. Specifically engineered and
manufactured in our ISO 9001:2008 certified facility for use as concrete reinforcement.

PRODUCT USE -
MIXING: The specified dosage per m3 or yd3 should be added to
the mixer after batching the other concrete materials. After the
addition of the fibers, the concrete should be mixed for sufficient
time (batch plant: minimum 5 minutes or 70 revolutions) at
full mixing speed to ensure uniform distribution of the fibers
throughout the concrete mix. Mixing times may vary, please
contact Fibermesh representative.
PLACING: ENDURO 600 macro synthetic polyolefin fibers can be
pumped, sprayed or placed using conventional equipment.
FINISHING: Conventional techniques and equipment can be .
used when finishing ENDURO 600 fiber concrete.
APPLICATION RATE: The application rate for ENDURO 600
macro -synthetic fibers will vary depending on the application,
mix design and the toughness requirements of each particular_
project Typically, ENDURO 600 macrosynthetic fibers dosage will'
be in the range of 4 pcy to 15 pcy (2.4 kg/m3 to 9 kg/m3) of
concrete. When used in conjunction with Fibermesh 150 fibers
the dosage rate and the performance of the sprayed concrete can
be optimized economically. For specific performance and dosage
recommendations see your local Fibermesh representative.
COMPATIBILITY
ENDURO 600 fibers are compatible with all concrete admixtures
and performance enhancing chemicals. ,
SAFETY
No special handling is required with ENDURO 600 macrosynthetic
fibers. Full Safety Data Sheets are available upon request.'
PACKAGING
ENDURO 600 macrosynthetic fibers are collated in degradable
water soluble wrapped bundles (pucks), packaged in a range
of box weights from 15 to 22 Ib (7 to 10 kg). Other packaging
options are available such as bulk bags. Store materials in a
cool dry place. Do not store in direct sunlight.
