Crack Reduction

UltraFiber 500™ provides Excellent Crack Reduction

Based on our research and testing, UltraFiber 500™ excels in secondary reinforcement resulting in outstanding crack control.

When tested in accordance with ICC code requirements, UltraFiber 500™ in concrete results in 85% fewer cracks than concrete without fiber, when using 11/2 pounds of UltraFiber 500™ per cubic yard of concrete.

With over 700 million fibers per pound, extremely high surface area, extensive bonding with cement, high fiber tensile strength, hydration enhancements, and extremely low spacing, UltraFiber 500™ is outstanding at intersecting micro-cracks as they form, dispersing the tensile stress, and reducing visible macro-cracks.

When you want to minimize cracking, specify Buckeye UltraFiber 500™.

"There are no cracks, even though the slab I poured is 50' x 100' x 6" deep and contains no rebar or wire. I have poured 200 yards at this plant, and that slab looks best, and is the one my 80,000 lb trucks are parking and driving on every day."
