VISTA CRACK STOP
(Monofilament Polypropylene Fibres)
Description
The Crack stop range of monofilament polypropylene fibres reduce the occurrence of plastic shrinkage and plastic settlement cracking, whilst enhancing the surface properties and durability of hardened cementitious products. Crack stop fibres are extremely fine, single filaments, cut to lengths of either 3, 6, 12 and 18 mm. Some fibre types also have blended lengths. The fibres are coated with surfactant to improve initial dispersion within the cementitious materials.
