- Documentation
SF-B fibers are Type V steel fibers pre-blended with Multimesh synthetic fibers for use in creating fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). Nycon SF-B fibers provide a superior, high performance concrete that is more resistant to cracking and impact and abrasion damage.
SF Type V steel fibers by Nycon meet the requirements of ASTM A820.
NYCON Multimesh fibers meet the requirements of ASTM C1116.

SF-B steel/synthetic fiber blend can be added directly to the mixing system during or after the batching of the ingredients and mixed at high speed for a minimum of five minutes. Additional mixing does not adversely affect the distribution or overall performance of SF-B. The addition of SF-B fiber blend at the normal recommended dosage rate does not require any mix design or application changes. A water reducer or super-plasticizer is recommended in concrete products where improved workability and finishability are desired.
