When added to Portland Cement and gypsum based mixes, they dramatically reduce cracking due to shrinkage in base and finish coats, while adding increased flexural strength. *CON-TROL FIBERS* absorb moisture in the mix and take on whatever color is present, and will not show on finished work. ***USES:*** Secondary reinforcement in concrete, stucco, plaster or masonry mixes In shotcrete, reinforcement and reduction of bounce back ***ADVANTAGES:*** Improves durability Increases impact and shatter resistance Increases freeze-thaw durability Reduces cracking due to shrinkage Reduces permeability Non-hairy surface Provides three dimensional reinforcing Mixes easily, disperses evenly and quickly throughout the mix Will not clog spray guns or pumps, does not decrease flowability of mix Alkali resistant ***INSTALLATION:*** **Surface Preparation:** Follow surface preparation instructions for the product that the *CON-TROL FIBERS* are being added to. **Mixing:** For ready mix concrete add 1 pound of *CON-TROL FIBERS* per cubic yard of concrete after all ingredients have been blended. Allow sufficient mixing time for fibers to fully disperse (approximately 5 minutes). Because *CON-TROL FIBERS* absorb moisture, adjust amount of liquid in mixes accordingly. **Placement:** Place and finish according to the directions for the product that the *CON-TROL FIBERS* are being added to. **Curing:** Follow curing instructions for the product that the *CON-TROL FIBERS* are being added to. **Packaging:** 1 Lb. Bag and 50 bags per carton **Color:** Gray ***SUGGESTED PROPORTIONS:*** For ready mixed concrete, add one pound of *CON-TROL FIBERS* per cubic yard of material. ***TECHNICAL DATA:*** Filament Diameter.............................. 23 Microns Filaments/lb........................................... 40 Million Specific Gravity.................................... 1.14 g/m³ Fiber Length................................................ : inch Tensile Strength.......................................... 44 ksi Melting Point..................................... 435 - 490EF Acid and Salt Resistance.......................
