SikaFiber® Novocon® CHE-8060 HT

Collated hooked ends steel fibres

SikaFiber® Novocon® CHE-8060 HT steel fibers are designed specifically for the reinforcement of concrete.
SikaFiber® Novocon® CHE-8060 HT is a cold drawn glued hooked end high strength steel fibre, to provide optimum anchorage within the concrete.

  • 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 fiber bridging joints and cracks to provide tighter aggregate interlock resulting in increased load-carrying capacity
  • Requires less labor 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

Application Information

DISPENSING

SikaFiber® Novocon® CHE-8060 HT steel fibres can be added during or after the batching of the concrete but should never be added as the first component.  Such
devices as conveyor belts, chutes and dispensers may be used to add fibres to the mixer at the ready mix plant. Extra precautions should be taken in wet weather conditions as  fibres could separate before mixing with concrete.
After the fibres have been added, the concrete should be mixed for sufficient time (4-5 minutes at full mixing speed) to ensure uniform distribution of the fibres throughout the concrete. The use of a water reducing admixture is reccommended to achieve the desired concrete workability.
Consumption

Recommended dosage

The dosage of the SikaFiber® Novocon® CHE-8060 HT will vary according to the type of application and the required performance.
Standard recommended dosage rate of SikaFiber® Novocon® CHE-8060 HT is between 15–40 kg/m3 of concrete. Dosages outside the recommended dosage range can be used to meet project specific requirements. If this is the case please contact your Sika representative for technical support.
Application steps

APPLICATION

Placing
SikaFiber® Novocon® CHE-8060 HT steel fibres can be pumped and placed using conventional equipment.

 


Hand or vibratory screeds and laser screeds can be used with SikaFiber® Novocon® CHE-8060 HT steel fibres.


Finishing
Conventional finishing techniques and equipment can be used when finishing SikaFiber® Novocon® CHE-8060 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.
