Monofilament Fibres

Monofilament Fibres

The ADFIL 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.

The fibres are extremely fine, single filaments, cut to various lengths dependant on application, maximum aggregate size considerations and surface appearance requirements.

The fibres are coated with surfactant to improve initial dispersion and bond. ADFIL fibres are extremely fine and although slightly visible at the plastic stage, are not readily seen on the hardened surface.
