Description
UCOFIBRE is an engineered polypropylene fibres which substantially reduces the formation of plastic cracks by increasing the tensile capacity of plastic and semi-plastic concrete. This reduction of plastic cracks enables the concrete to better develop its
optimum integrity.
The addition of UCOFIBRE in sprayed concrete gives increased flexural and impact
strength and less rebound . UCOFIBRE has been specially developed
for the reinforcement of cementitious mortars and concrete mixes.
UCOFIBRE can be easily introduced into a conventional concrete mix giving millions of dispersed fibres per cubic meter of concrete providing a highly
uniform and effective
reinforcement.
Where to use
- Mass concrete
- Pump concrete
- Conquested reinforcement concrete
- Shot creting / Spray concrete
- Floor screeds
- Ready mix concrete
- Dry mix and renderers
- Slipforming curb sections

Method of use
UCOFIBRE is to be mixed with dry cement concrete or mortar. It is to be
mixed uniformly throughout and prior to the addition of water.
The normal concrete mixing action and mixing time is sufficient for complete fibre distribution.
Storage
It has a storage life of minimum one year in unopened pouches
Handling Precautions
UCOFIBRE are non- flammable and non-toxic but inhalation should be
avoided.
