Masterfibre
Masterfibre is a fibrillated polypropylene fibre
designed for crack control and improved durability in
concrete or shotcrete applications.
Masterfibre significantly reduces the formation of
plastic shrinkage cracks by increasing the tensile
capacity of plastic concrete. Reducing the formation
of microcracks prevents them developing into larger
cracks during subsequent drying and shrinking
phases.
Masterfibre can be used as an alternative secondary
reinforcement system to welded wire mesh in slab ongrade
applications.
Masterfibre is compatible with all BASF Construction
Chemicals admixtures. The action of Masterfibre in
concrete is purely mechanical and will not affect the
hydration process.
Note: Masterfibre does not replace structural
reinforcement and hence cannot be used to increase
shrinkage control joint spacings, or decrease slab
thicknesses.
