APPLICATION INFORMATION
Recommended Dosage 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 metre. Sika technical staff can offer advice on dosage require-
ments once performance requirements have been established by the
project designer/engineer.
Compatibility SikaFiber® Novocon® HE-1050 HT steel fibres are compatible with all cur-
ing compounds, superplasticisers, water reducers, hardeners and coatings.
