Usage Instructions
Polypropylene Fibres for Improved Concrete, Plaster & Stucco Performance.
Appearance
Moulded faces of Duracrete reinforced concrete are generally similar in appearance to normal concrete finishes. The screeded faces may show some ends of fibres sticking out that usually shear off, if surface fibre is unacceptable, flaming or removing by sand paper it.
Dosage
Recommended dosage for Duracrete Fibre start from 0.9 to 3.6 kg per cubic meter (1.5 to 6 lb per cubic yard) of concrete. Higher dosages are recommended depending upon the severity of load, safety of structure and environmental exposure based on experience and good engineering judgment.
Using Duracrete fibres
Duracrete fibres should be added to the concrete mix during the mixing operation. The mixing time (typically 1 to 2 minutes) ensures uniform distribution throughout the concrete. (Over mixing will not alter its performance). Duracrete easily mixes into concrete and requires no mix design changes.
