    5 Reasons to use

    1. Superb Finishing Quality 2. Unsurpassed Crack Control

    Virtually all surface irregularities are eliminated with UltraFiber 500 – no Each UltraFiber 500 chip contains over 33,000 individual fibers, which
    balling, fuzz or blemishes that are common with polypropylene. You get disperse throughout the mix more thoroughly than polypropylene for
    smooth, “hair”-free finishes every time – which also eliminate callbacks, greater crack-fighting capabilities. And UltraFiber 500–treated concrete
    helping you save time and labor. yields significantly fewer cracks than concrete without fiber.3. Better
    Hydration and Bonding The UltraFiber 500 virgin cellulose fiber absorbs
    moisture that is provided to the cement for improved hydration and
    bonding. Synthetic fibers actually repel moisture.

    UltraFiber 500 superior finish Unsightly balling and fuzz from


    fibrillated polypropylene

    PLUS, UltraFiber 500 is a better alternative to welded wire mesh and mild
    temperature steel as secondary reinforcement by providing:

    • Reduced plastic shrinkage cracking


    • Reduced shrinkage and temperature cracking
    • Improved concrete durability
    • Lower installed cost
    • Safer and faster installations
    3. Better Hydration and Bonding 4. Great for Colored
    and Decorative Concrete
    The UltraFiber 500 virgin cellulose fiber absorbs moisture that is provid-
    ed to the cement for improved hydration and bonding. Synthetic fibers
    actually repel moisture. RICHER COLOR
    Unlike polypropylene, dyes and stains are readily accepted by UltraFiber
    500. As a result, a wide range of color and options are available with Ultra-
