MasterFiber™ MAC100
MasterFiber MAC100, a synthetic macro-reinforcing fiber, is manufactured from a proprietary blend of polypropylene resins, in compliance with ASTM C 1116, “Standard Specification for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete and Shotcrete.” MasterFiber MAC100 is specifically engineered for use as secondary reinforcement and provides excellent plastic shrinkage control and reduced settlement cracking. The MasterFiber MAC100 product provides increased flexural toughness and increases shatter and abrasion resistance, improving the concrete’s longterm durability and integrity. MasterFiber MAC100 is a true replacement for welded wire fabric, conventional light gauge steel reinforcement and steel fiber depending on the application.
Features:
- The MasterFiber MAC100 is designed to offer maximum value to concrete. The design itself creates individual performing units (IPUs). When mixed according to ASTM C 94, tens of millions of IPUs disperse evenly and conform to the mixture, inhibiting the propagation of microcracks and imparting toughness throughout the hardened concrete.
- Excellent finishability
- Excellent post-first crack performance
Benefits:
- Eliminates the need for welded wire fabric (WWF) and conventional steel bars as secondary reinforcement, depending on the application
- Effective tight crack control
- Provides excellent plastic shrinkage crack reduction and settlement control
- Reduces production time and overall labor and material costs
- Improves green strengths – permits earlier stripping of forms with less rejection
- Holds closer tolerances to precast forms
- Reduces handling and transportation stresses
