Dosage
Cem-FIL® 54 rovings are used for spraying with purpose-made GRC spray equipment. The recommended dosage is 5% by weight.
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 packaging. Optimum conditions are temperature between 15°C and 35°C (59° F and 95°F) 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® 54 is 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.
• Verified Environmental Product Declaration according to ISO 14025 and EN 15804:2019 available upon request.
