Comparison of UltraFiber 500® Alkali Resistant Cellulose Fiber versus Synthetic Polypropylene Fiber for Secondary Reinforcement

Fiber Characteristic

Solomon Typical UltraFiber 500® Polypropylene

Plastic Properties

Min. Impact

Sig. Effects

UltraFiber 500® does not reduce concrete slump or increase air content, thus providing better concrete workability, strength, and density

Placement/Finishing

No special finishing required

Special finishing required

No surface balling, blemishing, or fuzz resulting in a properly sealed, smooth surface and fewer call backs

5 - 15 % gain

Min. Impact

Enhanced internal curing of concrete results in greater compressive strength gains

Improves/ Hydrophilic

No effect/ Hydrophobic

Improved cement hydration enhances concrete strength properties

Freeze/Thaw Resistance ASTM C666 (% ↑) P18 - 425 (% ↓)

41 87

-----

Consistently demonstrated improvements to freeze/thaw resistance result in more durable concrete

Concrete Permeability** (% ↓)

67

---

UltraFiber 500® reduces water permeability of stressed and unstressed concrete which minimizes the potential for corrosion of structural rebar

Absorbency Absorption Rate (mm/s0.5) Water Absorbed (grams)

0.0033 14.3

0.0045 - 0.0054 18.3 - 21.8

Lower absorbency due to more uniform voids and finer porosity results in improved long-term durability

Paste Bonding

Bonding

No bonding

Better bonding with paste results in fewer microscopic voids and openings

Fiber Tensile Strength (KSI)

90 - 130

30 - 70

UltraFiber 500® fibers are as strong as steel

Fiber Count (fibers/lb)

720 X 106

44 X 106

Over 700 million crack-fighting fibers disperse evenly throughout the concrete, facilitating their ability to intersect micro-cracks as they may form, dispersing tensile stress, and reducing macro-cracks

Surface Area (cm2/g)

25,000

1,500

UltraFiber 500® enhances surface bonding of fibers to concrete, improving bond strength and reducing plastic shrinkage cracking

Fiber Spacing* (µm)

640

950

Closer fiber spacing intercepts more micro-cracks, reducing their growth, ensuring unsurpassed plastic shrinkage cracking control

Fiber Dispersion

No Clumps

Clumps

More uniform dispersion into concrete provides a more uniform performance

Fiber Source

Plantation wood Stable Pricing

Fossil Fuels Erratic Pricing

American-made from a renewable natural resource

Strength Properties Compressive Strength* (psi) Curing Effect

*In concrete at 1.5 lb/yd **At 50% stress level

Advantages of Using UltraFiber 500®

WWF

Welded Wire Fabric or Wire Mesh

www.ultrafiber500.com

1. Reduction in plastic shrinkage cracks ICC Code approved ESR-1032

Only holds concrete together after it cracks

2. Increases compressive strengths of plain non-reinforced concrete ASTM C39

No effect

3. Increases flexural strength of plain nonreinforced concrete

Increases tensile strength if properly placed (upper 1/3 of concrete slab)

4. Corrosion resistant

Corrodes when exposed to water and chemicals; aesthetics and possible disruption of concrete

5. Superior finish with no effect on workability of mix

No effect on finish, but difficult to maintain placement in slab

6. Easy to place in concrete mix - no minimum cover

Difficult to place, especially in rolls; 1" minimum cover required, upper 1/3

7. Easy to use and cost effective - no labor cost -no safety issues

Difficult to install and expensive - high labor costs saftey issues

8. Provides three dimensional reinforcement Provides reinforcement in one plane 9. Always positioned throughout concrete

Seldom - if in lower 2/3 of slab, no beneficial effect

10. Fibers bond effectively with concrete

Bond can deteriorate over time as a result of oxidation/rust

11. Alkali resistant ASTM D6942

Will deteriorate if not properly placed and protected

12. Improves freeze/thaw resistance

No effect

13. Improves curing/internal hydration

No effect

14 Improves impact and shatter resistance

Minor resistance provided if properly placed (upper 1/3 of concrete)

15. Meets or exceeds ASTM specifications

Only if certified

16. Absorbs sealers, color and stains

No effect

17. High bond strength to rebar

No effect

18. Hydrophilic fiber extends hydration process "Provides Internal Curing"

No effect

19. Product supplid in concrete from accurate Storage difficult and detrimental if stored outside automated fiber disperser 20. American made from a renewable natural Usually imported and rusty at installation resource
