Features & Benefits

• 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
• Homogeneity of concrete during the pouring phase enhances:
  • 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
• Compatible with other admixtures used in the production of high-quality concrete, and especially with:
  • Acrylic-based super-plasticising agents from the Dynamon range, for an improved mix design, consistency and maintenance of workability
  • Mapecure range curing surface films, for correct curing of the concrete
  • Mapecrete System, innovative technology used in the production of concrete with volumetric stability
  • Mapeform Eco and DMA stripping compounds, used for stripping concrete from moulds

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
• It is also necessary to ensure that the design of the concrete mix is correct to prevent cracking phenomenon, and that curing of the concrete is carried out accordingly to avoid sudden evaporation of the water from the surface of the cast concrete

How to Use

• Add Mapefibre NS12 in the cement mixer together with all the other ingredients (cement, aggregates, water and admixtures)
• Mix until a homogenous blend is obtained
• Consumption: The normal dosage of Mapefibre NS12 is 600g/m³, usually added to the concrete
• Higher dosage can be used for special applications such as shotcrete or fire resistance

Storage and Safety Instructions

Storage:

• May be stored for 36 months in their sealed bags
• Protect from direct sunlight and rain

Safety Instructions:

• Mapefibre NS12 is an article and referring to the current European regulations (Reg. 1906/2007/CE - REACH) does not require the preparation of a Safety Data Sheet
• Where applying the product, it is recommended to wear gloves and goggles and follow the safety requirements of the workplace
• Please refer to the current version of the Technical Data Sheet (See 'Data Sheets' section above)
