These high Modulus glass fibers have been specially developed to reinforce cement based products. They offer:
- High Tensile Strength (1700 N/mm_), 3-4 times higher than that
of steel.
- High Modulus (10 times that of polypropylene) which makes it an
efficient reinforcement.
- Does not rust. Therefore it requires no minimum cover.
- Inorganic, non-flammable and no health risk.

c: Sand: Silica Sand of the following composition:
- Silica >96%
- Moisture <2%
- Soluble Salts (i.e. alkalis) <1%
- Loss on Ignition <0.5%
- Organic Matter no effect
- SO3 0.4 (4000 ppm) max
- CI 0.6 ( 600 ppm) max

d: Crushed aggregates: Many varieties of aggregates such as marbles, granite and limestone are crushed to a suitable grading for use in Light Weight Concrete, to prevent undue internal stresses and cracking.

Part 3: Executions

3.1 Pre Installation Examinations:
A. Clean surfaces thoroughly before installation.
B: Inspect job conditions and field dimensions and provide markings in sufficient details for correct installation.
C: Installation pieces are manufactured to the exact and precise dimensions ordered.
D: Contractors shall install these pieces in a true and plumb fashion.
E: Report any discrepancies in design dimensions and field dimensions which could adversely affect the installation, to the distributor as soon as discovered.

3.2 Erection:
A: Installers primary responsibility is to follow manufacturer’s installation guides FULLY.
B: Locate prewelded and premounted hardware and miscellaneous steel support.
C: Make sure these conform to the erection drawings and plan layouts.
D: Units must be temporarily secured into position until final bolting, welding or grouting is executed.
E: Following installation, alignment of pieces must be performed to ensure that the entire installation conforms to the plans and tolerances are kept in balance.


3.3 Repairs, patching and cleaning:
A: Imbedded countersunk fasteners and damages must be patched using the same bedding compound used to fill joints.
B: Patch blemishes occurring during transportation and handling or erection using a patching mixture matching the color and texture of surrounding surface.
C: Clean panels using methods and materials which are in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and guidelines.
