SikaFiber® Force-600

SikaFiber® Force-600 is a macro-synthetic fibre specifically designed to satisfy the demanding requirements of modern-day shotcrete reinforcement and equipment. SikaFiber® Force-600 can also be used in pre-cast concrete.

  • Provides secondary/post first crack reinforcement in concrete.
  • Significantly reduces plastic shrinkage cracking.
  • Provides multi-dimensional reinforcement for improved durability.
  • Offers reduced permeability of hardened concrete, with high impact- shatter- and abrasion-resistance.
  • Offers high chemical- and UV-resistance, thus improving plastic and hardened concrete properties.
  • Offers improved ductility, toughness and resistance to spalling.
  • In shotcrete, it reduces rebound and wear and tear on hoses and concrete pump.

Usage

SikaFiber® Force-600 fibres are designed for use as an effective replacement for welded wire mesh (WWM) in concrete. SikaFiber® Force-600 fibres exhibit excellent bond with the cement matrix producing enhanced reinforcement in concrete. Independent testing-laboratory results demonstrate that concrete containing SikaFiber® Force-600 shows significant reduction in plastic shrinkage cracks, higher flexural strength and
post-peak flexural strength when compared to WWM.


SikaFiber® Force-600 fibres are chemically inert with high UV-resistance; they will not degrade in the high alkaline environments of concrete. SikaFiber® Force-600 fibres can be used in traditional ready-mix concrete and in self-consolidating concrete applications to replace WWM.


Typical applications include interior and exterior slab-on-grade concrete slabs, bridge decks and loading decks. SikaFiber® Force-600 can also be used for pre-cast products like septic tanks, burial vaults, manholes and architectural panels, as well as for shotcrete applications.
