Advantages of using polyester fibres in plaster and concrete.

•  Crack Reduction - the addition of cut polyester fibres in concrete products assist in preventing cracking caused by volume change and also helps reduce cracks in concrete formed during plastic and hardening stages.

•  Reduces water permeability - the use of cut polyester fibres assists in reducing water migration. It also assists in the drying stage and ultimately reduces the formation of micro cracking.

•  Polyester fibres disperse extremely well - fibres disperse through the concrete matrix therefore eliminating cracking, surface cracks and protects corners and edging in precast slabs and concrete flooring.

•  Reduces rebound in plaster, shotcrete and guniting – cut polyester fibres aid in reducing the ‘splattering’ of plaster and shotcrete as well as causing less friction in pump pipes. There is less waste which then saves you time and money.

•  Saves money - avoid unwanted call backs. Finish targeted jobs on time and save on future crack repair costs.

•  Safe and easy to use – cut polyester fibres are environmentally friendly, non-hazardous and safe to use. Polyester fibres sink in water and therefor disperses easily into the mix and do not interfere with any application of the product.
