Technical Information

Specific advice

SikaFiber® PPM 48/19 reinforcing is a mechanical, not a chemical process. Due to fibre efficiency, minor mix design modifications may be required depending on the application.

Application

Application Information

Compatibility

SikaFiber® PPM 48/19 is compatible with all Sika Concrete admixtures and additives.

Dispensing

SikaFiber® PPM 48/19 can be added to the mixer before, during or after the addition of the other concrete materials. Mixing time of at least 5 minutes is required to ensure uniform distribution of the fibres throughout the concrete.

SikaFiber® PPM 48/19 is uniquely designed and packaged allowing it to be evenly dispersed through the matrix, insuring no balling or pumping problems will occur

Entire package can be thrown into the mix allowing for easy handling whilst leaving no waste on site.

Can be added to the mix at any stage during batching.
Consumption

Recommended dosage

The typical dose rate for SikaFiber® PPM 48/19 is 2.3 kg per m3. Higher dose rates up 6.9 kg per m3 can be used as the performance requirements dictate.
