Usage

Sika® Fibermesh®-150 act mechanically by supporting the aggregate within the concrete with multidimensional fiber network and developing a uniform bleed system.  The fiber does not affect the curing process chemically and does not absorb water.  The Sika® Fibermesh®-150 can be used in all types of concrete applications to control plastic shrinkage and settlement cracking.  Typical applications include:

• Slabs on ground
• Residential applications: side-walks, driveways, decks, curbs
• Precast elements,
• Overlays / toppings
• Stucco

 

• Shotcrete
• Roads / Pavements
• Bridge Decks

Advantages

• Increase resistance to explosive spalling
• Reduces plastic shrinkage cracking
• Reduces plastic settlement cracking
• Improves impact, shatter and abrasion resistance
• Enhances durability
• Promotes uniform bleed and reduces bleed water
• Inhibits and controls the formation of intrinsic cracking in concrete
• Increases cohesion and reduces segregation
• Reduces freeze/thaw damage

Recommended dosage

The dosage of the Sika® Fibermesh®-150 will vary according to the type of application and performance requirements.  Standard recommended dosage ratio of Sika® Fibermesh®-150 is 1.0 kg/m3  of concrete.  For explosive spalling resistance the dosage rate will be between 1.0 kg/m3 and 2.0 kg/m3 ,depending on the design requirements. Dosages outside the recommended dosage range can be used to meet project specific requirements.  If this is the case please contact your Sika representative for technical support.
