MasterFiber™ MAC100
MasterFiber MAC100, a macrosynthetic reinforcing fiber, is manufactured from a proprietary blend of polypropylene resins, in compliance with ASTM C 1116/C 1116M “Standard Specification for Fiber- Reinforced Concrete.” MasterFiber MAC100 is specifically engineered for use as shrinkage and temperature (secondary) reinforcement and provides excellent plastic shrinkage control and reduced settlement cracking. The MasterFiber MAC100 fiber provides increased flexural toughness and increases impact, shatter and abrasion resistance, improving the concrete’s long-term durability and integrity. MasterFiber MAC100 is a true replacement for welded-wire reinforcement, conventional light gauge steel reinforcement and steel fiber depending on the application.
Features
The MasterFiber MAC100 is designed to offer maximum value to concrete. The design
itself creates individual performing units (IPUs). When mixed in accordance with ASTM C 94/C 94M, tens of millions of IPUs disperse evenly and conform to the mixture, inhibiting the propagation of microcracks and imparting toughness throughout the hardened concrete.
- Excellent finishability
- Excellent post-first crack performance
Benefits
- Eliminates the need for welded-wire reinforcement (WWR) and conventional steel bars
- as secondary reinforcement, depending on the application
- Effective tight crack control
- Provides excellent plastic shrinkage crack reduction and settlement control
- Reduces production time and overall labor and material costs
- Improves green strengths – permits earlier stripping of forms with less rejection
- Reduces handling and transportation stresses
