PSI STEEL FIBER C6560

Steel Macro-Fiber
Description
Fiber Products
PSI STEEL FIBER C6560 is a low carbon, cold drawn and hooked-end steel wire fiber designed to provide
concrete with temperature and shrinkage crack control, enhanced flexural reinforcement, improved shear strength
and increase the crack resistance of concrete. PSI STEEL FIBER C6560 complies with ASTM C1116, Standard
Specification for Fiber Reinforced Concrete and Shotcrete and ASTM A820, Type I fiber, Standard Specification
for Steel Fibers for Fiber Reinforced Concrete. These steel macro-fibers will also improve impact, shatter, fatigue
and abrasion resistance while increasing toughness of concrete. Dosage rates will vary depending upon the
reinforcing requirements and can range from 20 to 100 lbs/yd³ (12 to 60 kg/m³) or higher.
Primary Applications
• Commercial and industrial slabs on ground and slabs on pile
• Bridge decks, overlays and pavements
• Structural and non-structural precast concrete applications
• Shotcrete, tunnel linings and slope stabilization
• Mass concrete and composite deck construction
Features/Benefits
• Increases impact, shatter and abrasion resistance of concrete
• Controls and mitigates plastic shrinkage cracking and reduces segregation and bleed-water
• Provides three-dimensional reinforcement against macro-cracking
• Increases overall durability, fatigue resistance and flexural toughness
PSI STEEL FIBER

• Reduction of in-place cost versus wire mesh for temperature / shrinkage crack control
• Easily added to concrete mixture at any time prior to placement
• Tested in accordance with ASTM C 1399, C 1550, and C 1609

PSI STEEL FIBER C6560 can be added to the concrete mixture at any time prior to placement of the concrete. It
is generally recommended to add any fiber material at the0 ready-mix concrete1plant during batching. 2The actual 3
dosage rate will vary depending upon the application
800and performance requirements for each project. Fibers must
be mixed with concrete for a minimum of four (4) to five (5) minutes at maximum mixing speed, depending on the
ASTM C1609 5
mixer type, to ensure complete dispersion and uniformity. The addition of PSI STEEL FIBER C6560 at provided

necessary to maintain desired workability.
Add other admixtures independently from fiber addition. When used properly, and placed in a concrete mix of 3

sufficient workability, the fibers will not adversely alter the compressive or flexural strength of concrete or shotcrete.
Fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC) is characterized by standard test methods such as ASTM C1399, C1609, and 2
200 strength of FRC
C1550 or RILEM TC162 (EN14651). The flexural residual is measured using these beam tests and

Loose fiber material may be disposed in proper receptacles for refuse. Finishing equipment with fibers embedded

in concrete should be thoroughly cleaned.
Precautions/Limitations
• Use of fibers may cause an apparent loss in measured slump of concrete. This may be offset with the use of
a water reducing admixture if necessary.
• Fibers should never be added to a “zero-slump” concrete. Ensure a minimum concrete slump of 3” (80 mm) prior
to addition of any fiber material. Fibers may also be added in loose form to aggregate charging devices.
• In all cases, consult the Safety Data Sheet before use.
