Mapefibre NS12

Technical Characteristics

Mapefibre NS12 are 12 mm-long mono-filament, polypropylene microfibres. When added to concrete, Mapefibre NS12 improve the resistance of concrete to cracks caused by plastic shrinkage. The special “mono-filament” formation makes the dispersion and distribution within the concrete mix easier.

WHERE TO USE

Mapefibre NS12 are recommended to improve the resistance of concrete to cracks caused by plastic shrinkage as well as the fire resistance properties and the durability of concrete. Moreover, the homogeneity of concrete during the pouring phase is enhanced:

• production of concrete used for industrial floors, airport forecourts and multi-storey car-parks;

• production of precast reinforced concrete panels and pipes and concrete elements;

• production of fire-resistant concrete.

RECOMMENDATIONS

The use of Mapefibre NS12 does not offer any advantage from a structural point of view, and may not be considered as an alternative solution to metal reinforcement.
