NOVOMESH 950
THE ULTIMATE IN SYNTHETIC FIBRE REINFORCEMENT
NOVOMESH® 950
Macro-Synthetic Fibre Blend
Product Use
Novomesh® 950 reinforcing is a mechanical, not a chemical process.
The addition of Novomesh 950 does not require additional water or other
mix design changes at normal rates. Novomesh 950 degradable bags are
added to the mixer after batching the other concrete materials or during the
addition of aggregates and water. Mixing time of at least 5 minutes at mixing
speed is required as specified in ASTM C 94.
FINISHING: Novomesh 950 reinforced concrete can be pumped, sprayed or
placed using conventional equipment as with other fibrous concrete.
COMPATIBILITY: Novomesh 950 fibres are compatible with all curing
compounds, super plasticizers, water reducers, hardeners and coatings.
PACKAGING: Novomesh 950 fibres are available in 2.3 kg degradable bags.
The macro-synthetic mono filament fibre is collated in small bundles within
the degradable bag for rapid distribution. Novomesh 950 fibres are packaged,
shrink-wrapped and palletized for protection during shipping.
SAFETY: No special handling is required with Novomesh 950 fibres. Full FORMWORK & REINFORCING
Material Safety Data Sheets are available on request. Novomesh is added during mixing.
Cost-Effective Alternative
With it’s unique combination of structural synthetic and polypropylene fibres,
Novomesh 950 can deliver significant reductions in overall construction time
and cost by eliminating the need to cut and place crack control wire mesh.
Novomesh 950’s ease of use and excellent finishing characteristics make it
ideal for use in a wide range of applications, including:
Slab-on-Ground Driveways
Patterned Concrete Exposed Aggregate
External Paving Bike Paths and Footpaths No reinforcing steel required.
Overlays and Toppings Boat Ramps
Drainage Channels Slip Formed Concrete
Pre-cast Elements Shotcrete
Swimming Pools
Typical Dosage Rates
• Footpaths, Bike Paths and other minimal load applications - 1 Bag per m3
• Slab-on-ground, Driveways, Parking Areas and higher load applications -
2 - 2.5 Bags per m3
Makes the job a lot quicker and easier.
