WHAT IS FIBERFORM CEMENT?

FIBERFORM CEMENT

The cement used is Ordinary Portland Cement, supplied by a manufacturer of assessed capability. Cement is obtained from one source throughout manufacture. Cement is correctly stored and kept dry to avoid deterioration.

FIBERFORM SAND

Sands are washed and dried to remove soluble matter, and to permit control of the water/cement ratio. Sand added to the mix does not exceed 50% by weight of the total mix and sand/cement ratio does not exceed 1:2. Only high silica sands < 10% passing a 150 micron sieve are used. Sands other than silica sands may be used subject to approval of the architect and engineer, but the producer must be able to show proof of their suitability.

WATER

Water used is free from deleterious matter that may interfere with the colour, setting, or strength of the concrete.

 FIBERFORM MIX DESIGN

The mix is to be determined by the manufacturer, and written confirmation of the mix design shall be submitted so the proportions shall be chosen to achieve the quality-control requirements specified herein.
