SikaFiber® Force PP-55 / RAD55s

Polyolefin macro-synthetic fibres for fibre reinforced shotcrete and concrete

SikaFiber® Force PP-55 / RAD55s is a macro structural synthetic fibre that delivers optimum performance in highly corrosive environments. It is used in pre-cast, slabs on ground among many other applications. Higher Re3 values (equivalent flexural strengthratio based on ASTM C1609 testing) are achieved in slabs on grade when using this fibre

  • Non-magnetic, rustproof and alkali proof
  • Less balling effect for difficult mixes
  • No site waste or disposal issues.
  • Saves time and storage space in comparison to traditional mesh
  • Uniquely designed and packaged allowing it to be evenly dispersed ensuring no balling or pumping problems will occur.
