- Excellent placement and finishability characteristics
What are the benefits of MasterFiber 520?
- Eliminates the need for welded-wire reinforcement (WWR) and small diameter bars used as secondary reinforcement, depending on the application
- Effective tight crack control
- Provides excellent control of settlement cracking
- Reduces construction time and overall labor and material costs
- Increases flexural toughness, impact and shatter resistance
- Provides higher energy absorption and increases concrete ductility
- Facilitates sustainable construction
