Novocon XR-1050

Novocon XR-1050, steel fibres are designed specific ally for the reinforcement of concrete, mortars and other cementitious mixes. Novocon XR-1050 is a leading, general-purpose, low-carbon, cold drawn segment, wire fibre that is continuously deformed to provide optimum performance within the concrete mix. Novocon XR-1050 steel fibres European Standard EN 14889-1:2006 compliant and specifically designed to meet or exceed the performance and economic requirements of our customers.

▪ Ground supported slabs
▪ Jointless floors
▪ External roads & pavements
▪ Precast
▪ Overlays
▪ Walls
▪ Blast-resistant concrete

▪ Provides uniform, multi-directional concrete reinforcement
▪ Increases crack resistance, ductility, energy absorption and toughness of concrete
▪ Improves impact resistance, fatigue endurance and shear strength of concrete
▪ High tensile-strength fibre bridges joints and cracks, resulting in increased load-carrying capacity and possible reduction of concrete section
▪ Requires less labour to incorporate into concrete than conventional reinforcement
▪ Offers economical concrete reinforcement solutions with greater project scheduling accuracy
▪ Ideally suited for hand or vibratory screeds, laser screeds and all conventional finishing equipment

20–40 kg/m³ of concrete
The fibre dosage will vary depending on the type of application, concrete mix design and the performance/toughness requirements of each particu lar project. Typically, steel fibre dosage will be in the range of 20 kg to 40 kg per cubic meter. Sika technical staff can offer advice on dosage requirements once performance requirements have been established by the project designer/engineer.

Fibre Length 50mm
Equivalent Diameter 1.20 to 1.45mm

Novocon XR-1050 fibres are available, as standard, in 25 kg packaging.
