Monofilament, Polyolefin/PP, Large Denier, Macro OVER 25 YEARS OF REINFORCING FIBERS

Advantages/Benefits • Mechanical bond with the concrete

• Provides multi-dimensional reinforcement
• Improves durability and toughness of concrete
• Alternate to wire mesh
• Cost effective

Mixing NYCON-XL-100 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
NYCON-XL-100. The addition of NYCON-XL-100 at the normal recommended dosage
rate (3-6 lb/cy) 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.

Tooling & Finishing Fiber reinforced concrete can be finished by most finishing techniques. NYCON-
XL-100 does not affect the finishing characteristics of concrete. NYCON-XL-100 can be
used in power/hand troweled concrete, colored and broom finished concrete.
NYCON-XL-100 can be pumped and placed using conventional equipment. Hand
screeds can be used, but vibratory and laser screeds are recommended to provide
added compaction and bury surface fibers.

Packaging (30) 1 lb (0.45 kg) bags per box, 600 lbs per pallet. Other packaging available.

Nycon-XL-100 Fibers are packaged in pre-measured degradable “toss-in” paper

beater bags or water-soluble Bags.

Storage and Shelf Life NYCON-XL-100 should be stored in dry warehouse. Protect product from the rain.
