screeds  ,floor  topping  ,  repair  mortars  ,renders  ,  pre-­‐fabricated  concrete    ,light  weight  cement  panels  ,countertops  ,ar8ficial  stone  ,squash  courts  ,rock  forma8on  etc.    

produc8on  either  through  spray-­‐up  or  pumped  /poured    

reinforcement  by  AR-­‐fibres  made  of    

glass  with  higher  zirconia  content    

binder  normally  consists  of  Portlandcement  with  possible  addi8on    of  an  acrylic  polymer  

made  from  water  ,cement  ,fillers  ,glass  fibers  ,pigments  and  possibly  polymer

cement  produces  lime  during  its  hydra8on  process;  

 lime  (calcium  hydroxide)  will  corrode  conven8onal  fibers  ,resul8ng  in  reduced  strength  and  risk  of  spalling.

•  alkali  resistant  (addi8on  of  zirconium  oxide)    •  fibers  form  very  fine  filaments  •  semi  -­‐duc8lity  (self  healing  effect)  •  increase  tensile  strength  •  high  modulus  of  elas8city  •  improved  strength    •  high  bonding  strength(mineral  to  mineral  interface)  •  shrinkage  compensa8on  in  plas8c  and  hardened  phase

•  low  alkali  cement  •  good  workability  •  quick  set  •  rapid  drying  –  no  bleeding  •  high  early  strength  –  fast  demoulding  •  reduced  pores  and  pore  size  •  self  cleaning  •  shrinkage  compensated  in  plas8c  and  hardened  phase  •  water  repellent  •  white  ,off-­‐white  and  grey  base  color

•  ready  to  use  binder  •  just  add  by  propor8on  fillers  ,water  and  fibers  and/or  mesh  •  decora8ve  aggregates  ,metal  and  glass  exposed  aggregate  looks    •  compa8ble  with  inorganic  pigments  •  concrete  can  be  dyed  and  acid  stained      

•  possible  to  premix  fibers  •  addi8on  of  pigments  •  separate  supply  of  fibers  at  desired  length
