Flexible and stainless metallic fibres for concrete paving or flooring
|
FIBRAFLEX metallic fibres help increase the resistance of concrete or mortars used in paving and flooring, whether on new build or repair work. The "concrete + fibres" solution is used in the following applications :
 |
Screeds for under floor heating
|
|
Thin flooring or screeds for car-parks, private garages, storage areas, etc...
|
|
Acid resistant and frost resistant flooring
|
|
|
Puncture resistant paving (where there are vehicles with snow chains etc...)
|
|
|
 |
|
Utilisation
The fibres are added to the concrete or mortar during the mixing of the dry components. The resulting mix is then cast. Finishing is done easily using a straight edge.
Typical dosage : from 10 to 15 kg / m³
Product references used (depending on the desired pumpability) :
FIBRAFLEX FF10E0, 10 mm long and 1 mm wide
or
FIBRAFLEX FF15E0, 15 mm long and 1 mm wide
