Description

Mapefibre NS12 are 12 mm-long mono-filament, polypropylene microfibres. When added to concrete, Mapefibre NS12 improve the resistance of concrete to cracks caused by plastic shrinkage. The special “mono-filament” formation makes the dispersion and distribution within the concrete mix easier.

Applications

Mapefibre NS12 are compatible with other admixtures used in the production of high-quality concrete, and especially with:

• Acrylic-based super-plasticising agents from the Dynamon range, for an improved mix design, consistency and maintenance of workability;
• Mapecure range curing surface films, for correct curing of the concrete;
• Mapecrete System, innovative technology used in the production of concrete with volumetric stability;
• Mapeform Eco and DMA stripping compounds, used for stripping concrete from moulds.

Uses

Mapefibre NS12 are recommended to improve the resistance of concrete to cracks caused by plastic shrinkage as well as the fire resistance properties and the durability of concrete. Moreover, the homogeneity of concrete during the pouring phase is enhanced:

• Production of concrete used for industrial floors, airport forecourts and multi-storey car-parks;
• Production of precast reinforced concrete panels and pipes and concrete elements;
• Production of fire-resistant concrete.
