HOW TO MIX,
FAIRCRETE W should be directly added to the mix preferably with the mixing water. The optimum dosage rate should be determined by site trials.

FAIRCRETE W can be used,
• Resist the effect of frost.
• Increase the rate of strength development.
• Concreting can be done in cold weather, Mass concreting under seawater, and concrete hollow block manufacturing.

DOSAGE & PACKING

FAIRPLAST IP

WATERPROOF PLASTER ADDITIVE

FAIRPLAST IP is high workable mortar plasticizer cum waterproof plaster additive in powder form which should be dry mixed in a mortar. It gives better consistency, prolonged workability, and smooth & creamy mortar even with harsh sand. It introduces air into the mortar in the form of extremely fine and evenly dispersed bubbles. This entrained air imparts improved workability which, due to the stability of the tiny bubbles, prevents premature stiffening and avoids the need for repeated “knocking up”.
The hardened mortar bubbles provide a cautionary effect in screeds or renders. Capillary channels are also made discontinuous by the formation of bubbles, thus reducing the penetration of water.

SALIENT FEATURS OF FAIRPLAST IP,
• Prolonged workability, ease to handle mortar.
• Easier spreading of mortar and easy placing of bricks and blocks
• Reduces mortar droppings from surface
• Greater resistance to frost damage during construction
• Protection against freeze-thaw damage after construction
• Reduces permeability hence ensures waterproof plaster
• Increases yield of mortar results into cost benefits
• Reduces drying shrinkage cracks.
• Chloride free and hence no risk of corrosion.

FAIRPLAST IP is suitable for use with sand/cement plaster where it is required to reduce permeability. It can also be used in external plastering of roof and balcony screeds, plastering of basements and tanks, and external masonry walls.

HOW TO MIX:
Measure required quantity of sand, aggregate with cement. Then sprinkle proper amount of FAIRPLAST IP over the cement. Mix properly and then add required quantity of water to it.

PACKING & DOSAGE
200gms pouch, 1 kg pouch, 5kg, 25kg HDPE bags.
Dosage: 200gms per 50 kg cement.

FAIRFIBRE

FIBRE REINFORCEMENT FOR CONCRETE AND MORTAR

Fiber-reinforcement concrete and mortar are ideal for improving the durability and toughness performance of concrete and mortar. Fibers in concrete help reduce shrinkage cracks, increase strength, and increase energy absorption. FAIRFIBRE is a unique specially treated chemically inert fiber reinforcement for concrete and mortar which instantly disperses into the mix.

FAIRFIBRE is recommended where the objective is to control temperature/shrinkage cracking while improving basic durability. Also, it improves the tensile and compressive strength of concrete and mortar, minimizes cracks, and reduces permeability in the mix. It reduces the rate of heat evolution, spreading heat of hydration over a longer period & reducing thermal cracking effects. FAIRFIBRE is non-toxic and non-flammable.

FAIRFIBRE is easily and instantly disperses in to the mix. It reduces permeability hence ensures water tightness & reduces density & ensures more yield of mix & also reduces number of construction joints in floor.

SALIENT FEATURS OF FAIRFIBRE,
There are multiple reasons for adding fibers in concrete,
• Improves tensile and compressive strength
• Arrest drying shrinkage cracks
• Minimises steel reinforcement in industrial floors
• Improves durability
• Free from corrosive substances.
• Good resistance to impact and abrasion.
• Increases fatigue resistance & toughness.
• Non-corrosive, non-magnetic, chemically inert and 100% alkali proof so no reaction with aggregate and cement alkalies

It can be used for internal plaster, External plaster, Concrete repairs, Terrace slab, driveways, sidewalks, Industrial floors, Concrete roads, precast concrete, railway sleepers etc.

PACKING & DOSAGE
For optimum performance 125gms pack should be used with 50 kg. of cement. Generally it should be used 0.2% to 0.6% by weight of cement depending on the required performance. FAIRFIBRE is supplied in 125gms & 900gms pack

FAIRFIBRE P

POLYESTERFIBRE REINFORCEMENT FOR CONCRETE AND MORTAR

Normally concrete structures have high compressive strength but low tensile strength. Polyester fiber increases the properties of concrete such as compressive strength, tensile strength, impact strength & abrasion resistance. Fibers provide support to concrete in all directions by equally distributing throughout the matrix. It also prevents the problem of corrosion.
FAIRFIBRE P is a specially designed polyester fiber that instantly disperses out through the mix and improves and increases the compressive & tensile strength of concrete and mortar. It highly improves the durability of the structure and prevents the shrinkage cracks which are developed during curing making the concrete structure and plaster stronger. It prevents moisture from entering through out the concrete and mortar structures. FAIRFIBRE P also works as a secondary reinforcement in concrete.

SALIENT FEATURES,
• Prevents shrinkage cracks
• Improves tensile and compressive strength
• Reduces water permeability
• Helps prevent the corrosion of steel for primary reinforcement of concrete and mortar
• Improves life of structure
• Reduces density ensures more yield of mix.
• Minimises steel reinforcement in industrial floors
• Cost effective
• Environmental friendly
• Non-hazardous
• Disperses and separates in the dry ready mix easily
• Economical
