MasterFiber™ MAC470
MasterFiber MAC470 product is a macrosynthetic fiber specifically engineered for use as secondary reinforcement that provides excellent plastic shrinkage control and reduced settlement cracking. MasterFiber MAC470 product provides increased flexural toughness and increased impact, shatter and abrasion resistance, improving the concrete’s long-term durability and integrity. MasterFiber MAC470 product is a true replacement for welded-wire reinforcement, conventional light gauge steel reinforcement and steel fiber, depending on the application. It is specifically designed for use in shotcrete and slab-on-ground applications. MasterFiber MAC470 product complies with ASTM C 1116/C 1116M Section 4.1.3, Type III and Note 2.
