SikaFiber® Novocon® HE1060-HT

High Tensile Steel Fibres For Concrete

SikaFiber® Novocon® HE1060-HT steel fibres are designed specifically for the reinforcement of concrete, mortars and other cementitious mixes. SikaFiber® Novocon® HE1060-HT is a cold drawn wire fibre, deformed with hooked ends to provide optimum performance within the concrete mix.

  • Provides uniform multi-directional concrete reinforcement
  • Increases crack resistance, ductility, energy absorption or toughness of concrete
  • Improves impact resistance, fatigue endurance and shear strength of concrete
  • High tensile strength fibre bridging joints and cracks to provide tighter aggregate interlock resulting in increased load carrying capacity
  • Provides increased ultimate load bearing capacity which allows possible reduction of concrete section
  • Requires less labour to incorporate into concrete than conventional reinforcement
  • Offers economical concrete reinforcement solutions with greater project scheduling accuracy
  • Ideally suited for hand or vibratory screeds, laser screeds and all conventional finishing equipment

Application steps

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

MIXING

SikaFiber® Novocon® HE1060-HT steel fibres can be added during or after the batching of the concrete but should never be added as the first component. The concrete should be mixed for sufficient time (minimum 5 minutes at full mixing speed) to ensure uniform distribution of the fibres throughout the concrete.

APPLICATION

SikaFiber® Novocon® HE1060-HT steel fibres can be pumped and placed using conventional equipment.

Conventional finishing techniques and equipment can be used when finishing SikaFiber® Novocon® HE1060-HT steel fibre concrete. In some cases an extra bull float process is advised and lowering the angle of the power float blades will help to minimize fibre exposure on the surface.
