Application Information

DISPENSING

Add the fibres with the dry aggregates taking care to evenly distribute throughout the mix. The fibres can be added when all the mix components have been added although mixing time may need to be extended to ensure a uniform fibre distribution. Do not add the fibres directly into the mixing water.
