Packaging & Storage

Cem-FIL® 5325 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. Cem-FIL® 5325 rovings should be stored away from heat and moisture, and in their original packaging. Optimum conditions are temperatures 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.


Quality Standards

Cem-FIL® 5325 fibers are manufactured under a Quality Management System approved to ISO 9001.

Cem-FIL® fibers are not classified as dangerous by the Regulation 1272/2008/EC. For more information, please refer to our Safe Use Instruction Sheet.

CE-marking and Declaration of Performance as fibers for use in concrete and mortar through European Technical Assessment ETA 17/0169 for 320 to 1200 tex.

Verified Environmental Product Declaration according to ISO 14025 and EN 15804:2019 available upon request.
