Do BELMIX fibres affect scaling and blistering of concrete?
Blistering of the concrete is caused when the concrete surface is finished too quickly and bleed water is still coming up from the matrix. This bleed water will be trapped beneath the finished layer and this forms a weak spot beneath the surface. This in turn, will cause blistering during concrete trafficking. Scaling usually occurs in uncured concrete. Including fibres will not have any effect on either of the above properties.
