PVA (Polyvinyl Alcohol), Small Denier, Superior Bond
ULTRA-HIGH PERFORMANCE FIBERS
PVA fibers are unique in their ability to create a fully-engaged molecular bond with mortar and concrete that is 300% greater than other fibers.
NYCON-PVA RSC15 is a component of the NYCON TUFF-SLAB blend.
DESCRIPTION
NYCON-PVA RSC15 fiber products are 8 denier, monofilament PVA fibers for use in fiber reinforced concrete, stucco, TUFF-SLABTM and precast. NYCON-PVA RSC15 is specifically designed for use in concrete products for the purpose of controlling plastic shrinkage, thermal cracking and improving abrasion resistance.
NYCON-PVA RSC15 meets the requirements of ASTM C-1116, Section 4.1.3 and AC-32 at 1.0 lb (0.45 kg) per CY.
APPLICATIONS
NYCON-PVA utilizes the mixing activity to disperse the fibers into the mix. NYCON-PVA acts with a molecular bond in the concrete with a multi-dimensional fiber network. NYCON-PVA does not affect curing process chemically.
NYCON-PVA can be used in all types of concrete. NYCON-PVA RSC15 at 3 lb (1.35 kg) per CY is the micro fiber and NYCON-PVA RF4000 at 6 lb (2.7 kg) per CY is the macro fiber used together in Nycon’s TUFF-SLABTM product.
ADVANTAGES/BENEFITS
• Molecular bond with the concrete
• Reduces the formation of plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete.
• Provides multi-dimensional reinforcement.
• Improves impact, shatter and abrasion resistance of concrete.
• Enhances durability and toughness of concrete.
• Excellent, “no fuzz” finishability
