FAQs

Can I use these fibres in my driveway concrete?

Yes, they are highly effective at minimizing shrinkage cracks in exterior slabs like driveways and pathways.

Do these fibres replace steel reinforcement mesh?

No. These fibres are for micro-reinforcement to control cracking. They do not provide the structural load-bearing capacity of steel bars or mesh.

Will these fibres rust over time?

No, they are made from polypropylene, which is a synthetic material and is completely corrosion-resistant.

Is 100g enough for a large project?

The coverage depends on your specific mix design. Please refer to your concrete or screed manufacturer's dosage recommendations for fibre reinforcement.

Can I add the fibres by hand?

While possible, it is highly recommended to use a mechanical mixer to ensure the fibres are evenly distributed throughout the batch.

Troubleshooting

Fibres forming balls or clumps in the mix

Reduce the rate of addition; ensure the mixer is running at a consistent speed and increase mixing time.

Fibres visible on the surface of the finished screed

Use a power float or trowel to ensure proper finishing; alternatively, light surface sanding once cured can remove protruding fibres.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Significantly reduces crack formation
  • Improves impact and abrasion resistance
  • Easy to incorporate into standard mixes
  • Non-corrosive and safe to handle

Cons

  • Requires proper mixing technique to prevent clumping
  • Not intended for heavy structural load-bearing reinforcement

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure success, add the fibres to your mixer along with the dry components before introducing all the water, or sprinkle them gradually into the wet mix if using a high-speed mechanical mixer. They are compatible with all standard cement types and common admixtures. Store the product in a cool, dry place and keep the bag sealed until you are ready to pour to prevent moisture exposure. These fibres do not require special personal protective equipment beyond standard site safety gear, but avoid inhaling dust when opening the packet.
