Bonding with Cement

UltraFiber 500™ Provides Better Bonding with Cement

The hydrophilic nature of UltraFiber 500™, combined with its tremendously high surface area, enables this fiber to bond extensively with cement paste.

As seen under a microscope, UltraFiber 500™ achieves excellent bonding with cement paste, while polypropylene fiber shows minimal bonding if any.
