AR Glass Fibers /454 gr

Alkali Resistant (AR) Glass Fibers are designed specifically for use in concrete. They are manufacturedfrom a specially formulated glass composition with an optimum level of Zirconia (ZrO2) to be suitable for use in concrete. AR Glass Fibers are particularly suitable for Premix GFRC and other mortar and concrete reinforcement applications.They have high tensile strength and modulus, do not rust like steel, and are easily incorporated into concrete mixes.

All of our alkali resistant glass fiber products are manufactured in compliance with ASTM C1666/C 1666M, EN 15422 and under recommendations of PCI and GRCA.

• Enhances performance & durability
• Provides primary reinforcement
• High Tensile Strength
• Alkali resistant & non-corrosive

Using AR Glass Fiber

Typical Dosage - Typical load range: 3% by weight of the total mix, or 0.68-0.79 kg per bag of Buddy Rhodes blended concrete mix.

Mixing- Blend the fibers into the concrete slurry later in the mixing process. While the bundles are designed to resist breaking down during mixing, care must be given not to overmix. Compared to monofilament
fibers (PVA, AC50), bundled fibers are more likely to be visible in finished surfaces if precautions are not taken.
