Dosage

For drymix mortars and top screeds, recommended dosage is between 0.5 and 2%, or about 10–40 kg/m³ (17–68 lb/yd³). For premix GRC, the recommended dosage is from 1.5 to 3.0% by weight or about 30–60 kg/m³ (50–100 lb/yd³).



Packaging & Storage

Cem-FIL® 62 chopped strands are packed in plastic bags (5 kg) or carton boxes (15–22 kg). Cem-FIL 62 chopped strands 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® 62 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 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.
