FIBREX NO.1 when used as an admixture forms an internal barrier against water penetration. FIBREX NO.1 also increases the plasticity of mortar, reduces water absorption and thereby guards against freeze-thaw damage. It is available in powdered form without chlorides or in a liquid formula, which contains additives for additional densification and acceleration of the mortar or concrete. FIBREX NO.1 will not increase the air content of mortar or concrete.
FACTS
AREAS OF APPLICATION
FIBREX NO.1 is used in:
Mass concrete
Foundations
Water retaining structures
Tanks
Basements
Reservoirs
Terrace slabs
In mortar for masonry work, etc
ADVANTAGE
Reduces moisture absorption as much as 60%.
Reduces vapor transmission through walls and slabs
Ease in application – Makes mortar/concrete more homogeneous – less rebound during plaster.
Easy to finish the mortar and concrete surface
Reduces water cement ratio – requires less water hence increases the durability of mortar/concrete.
Makes the surface waterproof by blocking the continuous pore channels.
