Description

SINTA® M3019 are synthetic micro fibers for concrete made from 100% virgin polypropylene in a monofilament form. Engineered specifically for use in concrete, they are alkali resistant, non-absorptive and completely non-corrosive. SINTA® M3019 protects concrete from stresses which cause cracking during the first 24 hours after placement while it is most vulnerable during the first 24 hours after placement. SINTA® M3019 complies with ASTM Designation C1116, Standard Specification for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete and Shotcrete, Type III Synthetic Fiber Reinforced Concrete or Shotcrete. They are available in 0.75 in (19 mm) length.

SINTA® M3019 uniformly distributes multi–dimensionally throughout the concrete. The fibers in the fresh concrete matrix provide reinforcement for the mixture while its tensile strength is weakest.

The reinforcement reduces the formation of all types of early age cracking. This cracking caused by plastic shrinkage, settlement and other internal stresses would otherwise permanently weaken the resultant concrete. The concrete permeability is decreased, while the surface characteristics, impact and toughness properties are slightly improved. Together these effects work synergistically to produce a long-term, better quality, more durable and serviceable concrete.

Application areas

Specifically, such applications include but are not limited to, slabs on grade, pavements, overlays, sloped walls, pools, shotcrete, stucco, precast and prestressed products. It is suggested that this product be used in conjunction with properly compacted base materials and jointing in accordance with ACI guidelines and standards.

Benefits

  • Protects concrete when tensile strength is at its lowest, reducing the formation of plastic shrinkage cracking.
  • Enhances impact and toughness properties.
  • Easy to mix and fast to disperse.
  • Minimizes fiber-reinforced concrete finishing concerns.
  • Reduces plastic shrinkage cracking and improves durability.
  • Protects concrete from stresses that cause cracking.
  • Provides cost effective control of plastic shrinkage.
  • Provides overall higher quality of concrete.
