NOVOCON HE05535 STEEL FIBRES

Novocon HE05535 steel fibres are designed specifically for the reinforcement of concrete,
mortars and other cementitious mixes. Novocon HE05535 is a cold drawn wire fibre,
deformed with hooked ends to provide optimum performance within the concrete mix.
Novocon HE05535 steel fibres are European Standard - EN 14889-1:2006 compliant and
have been specifically designed to meet or exceed the defined performance requirements.

FEATURES & BENEFITS

• Provides uniform multi-directional concrete reinforcement
ADVANTAGES • Increases crack resistance, ductility, energy absorption or toughness of concrete
OF NOVOCON • Improves impact resistance, fatigue endurance and shear strength of concrete
HE05535 STEEL • High tensile strength fibre bridging joints and cracks to provide tighter aggregate interlock
FIBRES: resulting in increased load-carrying capacity
• Requires no minimum • Provides increased ultimate load-bearing capacity which allows possible reduction of
amount of concrete concrete section
cover • Requires less labour to incorporate into concrete than conventional reinforcement
• Always positioned • Offers economical concrete reinforcement solutions with greater project scheduling
in compliance with accuracy
codes • Ideally suited for hand or vibratory screeds, laser screeds and all conventional finishing
• Safe and easier to equipment
use than traditional
