STANDARDS
POLYFIBER-F is tested to the appropriate sections of the following Standards:
ASTM D-1204, ASTM D-638
GUIDE FOR APPLICATION
Processing
POLYFIBER-F is packed in per measured bags with required projects size, ranging dose starts from 0.9 Kg Per cubic meter.
Add POLYFIBER-F into the mixer and mix for 4-5 minutes or 60-70 revolution at full speed to insure uniform distribution.
PLACING / FINISHING
Fiber reinforced concrete may appear slightly stiffer than plain concrete without affecting
workability, it increases the concrete cohesive properties.
However, if additional workability is required, a water reducer or super plasticizer should be used instead of adding water.
This increase in cohesion will also reduce segregation, resulting in less or slower bleeding. With this in mind, it is important not to begin finishing too early.
Guarantee / Warranty
We warrant our products to be of good quality and manufactured to rigid standards. This warranty is in lieu of any and all other warranties expressed or implied.

TECHNICAL SERVICES
For any further technical advice and recommendation for the use of all POLYCOO products, please consult the nearest POLYCOO technical office.
Finishing is accomplished best with steel or magnesium trowels and floats, wooden tools open the surface and may expose additional fibers. Also, it is not recommended to use a tin.
???Rake to move or place fiber reinforced concrete. The tins can disrupt the fibers uniform three dimensional distributions.
For exterior textured or broom finishes, use a dry stiff bristled broom.
If you require any special application please consult, POLYCOO – Technical department for dosage rate.
