Cellulose Fiber for Concrete Reinforcement

Cellulose Fiber 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.

Cellulose Fiber 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 Cellulose Fiber 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 Cellulose Fiber 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, Cellulose Fiber does not negatively impact the workability of concrete. Uniform dispersion ensures that the concrete remains workable while gaining the benefits of fiber reinforcement.
