Due to its fine-filament shape, FORTA NYLO-MONO is virtually undetectable on the surface finish for projects where finish is a primary concern.
OVERVIEW
Designed to function as a plastic shrinkage reinforcement, FORTA NYLO-MONO is intended to reduce the formation of shrinkage cracks prior to initial set and to reduce settlement shrinkage. Non-corrosive, chemically inert, and resistant to alkali attack.
FORTA NYLO-MONO is primarily used with cast-in-place concrete applications such as slab-on-grade, overlays/toppings, curbs, driveways, sidewalks, basement floors, garage floors, and colored concrete, where the object is to control plastic shrinkage cracking.
Requires No Mix Design or Placement Changes!
Optimal Dosage Guidelines
Recommended dosage rate of FORTA NYLO-MONO is 1.0 lb. per cubic yard (0.6 kg. per cubic meter) of concrete added directly to the concrete mixing system during, or after, the batching of the other ingredients and mixed at the time and speed recommended by the mixer manufacturer (usually four to five minutes).
Due to its fine-filament shape, FORTA NYLO-MONO is virtually undetectable on the surface finish for projects where finish is a primary concern.
FORTA NYLO-MONO is a fine-filament fiber that distributes quickly and uniformly throughout the mix, and is used to reduce plastic-shrinkage cracking that occurs during the early life of the concrete.
