SikaFiber®-800 Stealth

MACRO SYNTHETIC FIBER

SikaFiber®-800 Stealth is macro synthetic reinforcing fiber. SikaFiber®-800 Stealth is 100% virgin copolymer fiber deisgned to provide a uniform three dimensional reinforcement system in the concrete mix.  The fiber is a patent pending.  Specifically engineered and manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified manufacturing facility.

  • Self-fibrillating macro fiber to create a high fiber network in the concrete.
  • Engineered fiber design to create an outstanding finish and performance in a hard troweled slab on ground.
  • Efficient and cost-effective, three-dimensional reinforcement alternative to steel wire mesh, rebar, and steel fibers.
  • Sustainable reinforcement solution by reducing embodied carbon through the replacement of convention steel reinforcement with synthetic structural fibers.
  • Reduction in construction time. No cutting, placing, tying, and chairing required.
  • Safer and easier to use than wire mesh and rebar. Increase durability, ductility, and flexural toughness of concrete.
  • Reduces plastic shrinkage, settlement, and drying shrinkage cracking in concrete.
  • Improves impact, shatter, and abrasion resistance of concrete.
  • Geometrically engineered to resist matrix pullout.
  • Will not corrode, non-magnetic and highly alkali resistant.
  • Pumpable safe reinforcement.

Application

Application Information

DISPENSING

The addition of SikaFiber®-800 Stealth at the recommended dosage rates may decrease the slump; however, additional water should not be added. Only a water reducing or high range water reducing admixture should be used to adjust concrete to the desired workability prior to the addition of the fibers. After batching all of the concrete ingredients, the SikaFiber®-800 Stealth in a dispersible bag, can be added one bag at a time directly to the concrete mixing system and mixed for 4 to 5 minutes or 70 revolutions.


Application
The addition of SikaFiber®-800 Stealth at the normal recommended dosage rate does not require any mix design or application changes except to account for slump loss. The fiber concrete can be mixed, sprayed or placed using conventional equipment.


Tooling & Finishing
SikaFiber®-800 Stealth can be used in power/hand troweled concrete and broom finished concrete. Fiber reinforced concrete can be finished by most finishing techniques as indicated in ACI-302. Proper timing and workmanship are important when using a macro synthetic fiber to insure fiber is not elevated at the surface.
Consumption

Recommended Dosage

The dosage of the SikaFiber®-800 Stealth will vary according to the type of application and the performance requirements of the project.  Standard recommended dosage rate of SikaFiber®-800 Stealth is between 1.8–4.15 kg/m3 (3–7 lbs/cu. yd.) of concrete. Dosages outside the recommended dosage range can be used to meet project specific requirements. If this is the case please contact your Sika representative for technical support.
