Decorative Concrete

UltraFiber 500™ is Ideal for Decorative Concrete

UltraFiber 500™ is the ideal fiber for providing outstanding plastic shrinkage crack control in decorative concrete for 2 major reasons:

1.) Provides Superior Finishing

 
  • No fiber balling, no blemishes, no surface fuzz, and richer pigment and stain tones
     

  • As shown in the photos below, UltraFiber 500™ readily absorbs pigmentation and stains whereas polypropylene fibers cannot.  So only UltraFiber 500™ blends into  colored concrete and maintains the color for a superior decorative concrete appearance.


 

UltraFiber 500™ Accepts Color
 
Synthetic Fibers Resist Color
 

2.) Works well with All Steps in the Decorative Finishing Process

  • No adherence to stamps or skins
  • Works well with  both liquid and dry release agents
  • Wicks in sealants, resulting in a  beautiful surface with a solid sealing
  • No modifications to the normal, decorative finishing process are required.

"UltraFiber 500™ has had a phenomenal impact on our jobs. It makes a better structural product, it makes a more beautiful cosmetic product, and we don't have any of the problems we experienced with synthetic fibers."
 

- Kevin Baltz, Baltz & Sons Concrete

"We've been using UltraFiber 500™ for about 2 years now on our decks, and we've had zero callbacks. The color is more consistent, and we've  had no problems with any of the stamps and stain color we've used. By using UltraFiber 500™ in the mix, it has created something that I no longer have to worry about."
