Alkali resistant glass* Good unwinding Easy chopping High split efficiency Safe and easy to handle Very easy incorporation into the matrix Great for use with complicated profiles Excellent reproduction of detail Excellent mechanical performance Makes highly durable GRC elements Suitable for both premix and spray |
Alkali resistant glass* Excellent unwinding Low level of fuzz Compatible with coating and hydraulic binder matrices Easy chopping Very easy incorporation into the matrix Enhancement of GRC mechanical performance and durability High tensile strength. It will not rot or corrode and is unaffected by UV radiation, making it suitable for use with minimal cover |
| Applications |
Cem-FIL® 54 is a spray roving with easy processing and incorporation, enabling the production of GRC elements with excellent finish and reproduction of detail. Cem-FIL® 54 provides good mechanical performance and excellent durability to GRC composites. Cem-FIL® 54 is suitable for the fabrication of GRC in high humidity conditions. Cem-FIL® 54 has been tested and approved for use with commonly used spray equipment. |
In the premix process, Cem-FIL® 61 is chopped into small strands with high abrasion resistance The fiber remains integral and this provides easy incorporation into the matrices and efficient workability Cem-FIL® 61’s new sizing technology reduces the water absorption of the fiber strand,allowing a reduction in the water content of thematrix, oran increase in the fiber content In the spray process,Cem-FIL® 61 has good splitefficiency and easy chopping with low fuzz generation. Cem-FIL® 61’s hydrophobic behaviour makes the mix fluid and that ensures good compaction and easy release of trapped air. |
Cem-FIL® 5325 has been particularly designed for the weaving of fabrics, meshes/nets, scrims, etc. Its surface coating (size) is compatible with cement-based matrices Cem-FIL® 5325 rovings are particularly well suited to the needs of the market for the reinforcement of GRC (Glass Reinforced Cement) as well as screeds, mortars or renders |

| Packaging & Storage |
Cem-FIL® 54 rovings are protected by a shrink-wrap polythene film, open at the top which should not be removed when the product is in use. Rovings are packed on pallets either with or without carton boxes. Cem-FIL®54 rovings should be stored away from heat and moisture, and in their original packing. Optimum conditions are temperature between 15°C and 35°C and humidity between 35% and 65%.If the product is stored at lower temperatures it is advisable to condition it in the workshop for at least 24 hours before use, to prevent condensation. |
