UltraFiber 500

Product catalog summary
Description: UltraFiber 500® is a secondary reinforcement fiber for concrete made from 100% virgin specialty cellulose fiber with an alkaline-resistant coating. It is manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility in the USA and complies with National Building Codes, ASTM C1116-08, and ASTM D7357-07. Recommended dosage rates range from 1.0 to 4.0 lb/yd3, with specific recommendations for freeze/thaw conditions.
Benefits: The fiber offers an alternative to traditional reinforcement, reducing intrinsic cracking, permeability, and absorption. It enhances freeze/thaw resistance, durability, hydration, impact resistance, shatter resistance, and bond strength between rebar and cement paste.
Fire Resistance: UltraFiber 500® is UL Classified for use in composite metal deck designs, achieving a 2-hour fire rating with reduced thickness of normal weight concrete.
Applications: Suitable for commercial and residential slabs, composite metal decks, paving, pervious paving, curbs and gutters, slip forms, architectural and decorative applications, pre-cast, shotcrete, walls, and white topping.
Advantages: The fiber provides excellent secondary reinforcement due to its high surface area, close spacing, strong bonding, high tensile strength, and easy dispersion. It is safe, easy to use, and offers superior finishability.
Performance Characteristics: Water absorption is up to 80% of fiber weight, with a specific gravity of 1.10, average fiber length of 2.1 mm, and tensile strength of 90-130 ksi. It has high alkali resistance.
Usage Guidelines: UltraFiber 500® should be used as secondary reinforcement and not as a substitute for structural reinforcement. It should not alter concrete design for thickness or strength. Recommended curing practices and joint spacing should be followed.
Mixing Procedure: Fibers disperse best when added at the beginning of the batching sequence, following ASTM C94 recommendations.
Packaging: Available in 1.0 and 1.5-pound water-soluble bags, 20-pound non-soluble bags, and 500-pound bulk bags for automated dispensing.
Engineering Specification: Only 100% virgin alkali-resistant cellulose fibers should be used. Dosage rates vary from 1.0 lb/yd3 to 4.0 lb/yd3 for special applications. Compliance with building codes and ISO 9001 certification is required.
Application Rate: Minimum application rate is 1.0 lb/yd3, with 1.5 lb/yd3 recommended for most commercial applications. Higher dosages are used for maximum impact and abrasion resistance.
Mix Design: Normal dosage rates do not require mix design changes. UltraFiber 500® is compatible with typical admixtures.
Finish-ability: Provides superior finishability with no restrictions on finishing techniques, including trowel, swirl, broom, exposed, decorative, colored, and stained finishes.
Compatibility: Compatible with all normal concrete constituents and admixtures, without affecting performance or workability.
Comparison with Synthetic Fibers: UltraFiber 500® has a higher fiber count, density, tensile strength, surface area, and closer fiber spacing compared to synthetic fibers.

UltraFiber 500-1

Description: UltraFiber ® 500 reinforcement fiber for concrete is 100% virgin specialty cellulose fiber with a patented alkaline resistant coating specifically engineered and manufactured in an ISO 9001 certified facility. UltraFiber 500® provides secondary reinforcement in concrete (temperature and shrinkage crack control) and meets ICC evaluation criteria for use in slab on grade. UltraFiber 500® is manufactured in the USA from renewable resources and complies with National Building Codes, ASTM C1116-08 and ASTM D7357-07. A dosage rate of 1.0 to 4.0 lb/yd3 is recommended depending on the application. In areas where freeze/thaw performance is a significant factor, a 2.0 lb/cy dosage rate is strongly recommended with a 1.5 lb/cy dosage rate minimum Applications: • Commercial & Residential Slabs • Composite Metal Decks • Paving • Pervious Paving • Curb and Gutter • Slip Form • Architectural & Decorative • Pre-Cast • Shotcrete • Walls • White Topping Advantages: UltraFiber 500® provides excellent secondary reinforcement from high fiber surface area, close fiber spacing, excellent bonding within the cement matrix, high fiber tensile strength, and easy dispersion in concrete so it is always positioned correctly. It is safe, easy to use, and offers superior finish-ability. UltraFiber 500® provides significant benefits in numerous applications. Benefits: • Alternate system to traditional secondary reinforcement in concrete • Reduces the formation of intrinsic cracking in concrete • Reduces concrete permeability and absorption. • Improves concrete freeze/thaw resistance • Improves concrete durability • Provides enhanced hydration which improves concrete strength properties • Improves concrete impact resistance • Improves concrete shatter resistance • Improves bond strength between rebar and cement paste Concrete Fire Resistance: • UL Classified for use in all composite metal deck Designs No. D700, D800 & D900. • UL Classified for use in composite metal deck Design No. D973 Reduced Thickness of NWC (normal weight concrete) while achieving a 2 Hour Fire Rating Water Absorption Specific Gravity Avg.
