Cellulose Fiber for Concrete Reinforcement

Fibra de celulosa is a natural fiber used to reinforce concrete by reducing plastic shrinkage cracking, improving tensile strength, and enhancing surface durability. It is particularly effective in improving impact resistance and reducing water permeability.

Fibra de celulosa must first be dissolved in water. Allow the fibers to disperse evenly in the water before incorporating the mixture into the concrete. This step ensures proper distribution and prevents clumping during mixing.

No, it’s important to dissolve Fibra de celulosa in water before adding it to the concrete mix. This helps the fibers achieve uniform dispersion, ensuring consistent reinforcement throughout the matrix.

The typical dosage of Fibra de celulosa ranges from 0.6 to 1.2 kg per cubic meter of concrete. The exact amount depends on the specific project requirements and desired performance characteristics.

If properly prepared and dispersed in water before mixing, Fibra de celulosa does not negatively impact the workability of concrete. Uniform dispersion ensures that the concrete remains workable while gaining the benefits of fiber reinforcement.
