Significant improvements in flexural and tensile strength are achieved with reduced permeability and improved frost resistance.

  • Squash Courts
  • Ponds

The recommended fibres (dosage rates of 10 to 20kg per m3 of concrete) for this application are:

NEG ARG Fibre in Renders and Cement Plasters

The fibres can be added directly to the mixer or can be pre-blended with the dry ingredients.

Where additional localized reinforcement is required then a 10x10mm Alkali Resistant Net (AR Net FT) is recommended.

These filaments help to control early age plastic shrinkage cracking which in turn can lead to an improved surface finish and enhanced impact resistance.
