Glass fiber mesh application



Glass fiber mesh application

DOSAGE


  • 600gms per cubic meter of RMC / 85 gms per bag of cement concrete application or as per mix design.
  • 60 gms per bag of cement for mortar application or as per instruction of civil engineer.

BENEFITS OF OPTICA GLASS FIBERS


  • Prevents micro shrinkage cracks, making the concrete / mortar inherently stronger. Millions of fibers support mortar in all dimensions and provide MSR.
  • Dispersed uniformly throughout concrete / mortar mix, ensures better binding and anchoring of sand and aggregates
  • A reinforcing material which does not rust or corrode neither attacked by fungus, bacteria or insects.
  • Reduce water permeability which helps to prevent corrosion of steel, thus increases durability of building (Integral water-proofing not required).
  • Provides significant improvement for early age-strength and improves abrasion resistance.
  • Reduces rebound loss by 50% and saves mortar and labour cost in plaster work.
  • Reduces seepage, leakage and dampness of walls.
  • Protects sharp edges and corners of plaster from damage.
  • User-friendly product easy to use and handle at construction site. It can be added to concrete / mortar either on site or at RMC plant.


AVAILABILITY

  • Optica Glass Fiber – 12 mm is available in 600 gm, 85 gm pouches for concrete applications
  • Optica Glass Fiber – 6 mm is available in 60 gm pouches for mortar application (plastering)


INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE

  • For RMC (Ready mix concrete) - use one pouch OPTICA GLASS FIBER 12 mm - 600 gms per cubic meter, to be mixed at the RMC plant.
  • For Manual mix of concrete - use one pouch OPTICA GLASS FIBER 12 mm - 85 gms per bag of cement, along with other aggregates and mix thoroughly.
  • For Plastering - Add one pouch of OPTICA GLASS FIBER 6 mm (60 gms) with one bag of cement, along with other aggregates and mix thoroughly.

Methodology for RMC mix of Optica Glass Fibres - 12mm


Optica Glass Fibers Use methodology: RMC - After mixing of cement, sand, blue metal in the RMC Plant, add 600 grams (one pouch) 12mm Optica Glass Fibers along with the mixed concrete.

Each fiber disperse uniformly mix in between the blue metal, sand and cement thus allows different materials to expand and contracts independently during different weather conditions and avoid frictions between the materials which helps avoid cracks within the concrete.

10 times more Glass fibers then any other types of fibers per cubic meter. Optica Glass Fibers has higher tensile strength, strong enough to avoid breakages while in operation in RMC plant up to pouring of concrete at the site.

Integral water proofing chemical is not required as OPTICA Glass fiber will take care of preventing hairline cracks, thus arresting of expanding to a larger cracks over a period of time, which helps prevent seepage for life.
