Descriptio
FIBERPEG MAC 54, is the macro reinforcement system that offers the most effective control at every stage of ready-mixed concrete and shotcrete applications, plaster and screed applications, anti-shrinkage applications and structural cracks under load.
Domain
• Industrial field concrete
• Screed concrete
• Premium quality concrete
• Runway and port concrete
• All precast elements
• All shotcrete applications
• Tunnel coatings
Features
• Eliminates steel mesh work with easy and fast application and saves up to 40% time.
• It makes it possible to effectively control cracks at any point by distributing the concrete evenly.
• Provides toughness in concrete with high energy absorption capacity.
• Does not corrode and stainless. Provides long-term durability in concrete.
• It prevents 99% of cracks from plastic shrinkage and long-term drying in concrete.
• Increases shotcrete adhesion and minimizes rear bounces for effective application.
• Compatible with all quality concretes and all subsidence concretes.
• Resistant to saline, alkaline and acidic effects.
Standards
• FIBERPEG MAC 54: EN 14889-2 Class II ASTM C 1116
Advantages for hardened concrete
• Increases impact resistance.
• Ensures improved waterproofness and durability.
• Since it allows the elimination of cracks, it cannot form channels through which water can pass.
• Mechanical strength is high due to low segregation and high homogeneity.
• The energy absorption and compactness of concrete increase.
• The fire resistance of concrete increases.
• Increases fracture resistance on concrete corners and edges.
• Reduces the corrosion rate of the metal carrier reinforcement.
• Offers resistance against freeze-thaw.
Use and quantity
Polifiber MAC 54, should be added and slowly to the mixture in the mixer or mixer at the concrete plant. The mixture should be prepared as follows;
• Aggregate, water and cement are mixed.
• During mixing, FIBERPEG MAC 54 is added and mixed for at least 7-10 minutes.
• To easily use the mixture, it is recommended to use a super plasticizing concrete mixture instead of adding water. (The addition of FIBERPEG MAC 54 does not change the concrete mix and additive ratios.) It is recommended to use FIBERPEG MAC 54 in a ratio of 2 to 10 kg per m3. This ratio varies depending on the components used in the design of the concrete mixture. Therefore, laboratory tests should be performed based on the expected properties of fresh concrete and hardened concrete before the utilization rate is determined and the mixing ratio should be determined based on these experiments.
