HiperLon Distributed by SRW Products FEATURES BENEFITS APPLICATIONS DOSAGE RATES MIXING PACKAGING FINISHING PHYSICAL PROPERTIES Enhances performance & durability Provides secondary reinforcement True replacement for rebar Alkali resistant & non- corrosive Insoluble in water Mixes well in concrete High impact resistance Excellent finishability HiperLon fiber added to concrete mechanically locks in the fresh concrete matrix and adds flexural strength. HiperLon provides secondary reinforcement and rebar replacement without the worry of corrosion. With HiperLon, concrete is quicker to place, cuts labor costs, is highly impact resistant and improves your Bottom Line. HiperLon characteristics lend itself to a variety of concrete applications including: slab- on- grade, precast concrete, shot- crete, paving, corrosive area placements and specialty concrete applications. For general applications such as slab- on- grade, a standard dosage of 5 lbs. /yd3 is recommended. Other fibers require higher dosage rates or cannot meet requirements to achieve similar performance. For other applications, consult with your ICF representative for recommended dosages. Follow ASTM C- 94 guidelines. HiperLon can be added directly to the mix at the jobsite or during batching of ingredients, but not as the first ingredient and should be mixed for a minimum of 5 minutes at full mixing speed. 1 Carton/20 lbs. per box; 24 Cartons/Pallet; 11 Pallets/20 ft. Container. Bulk gaylords are available on request. There is little surface protrusion when using HiperLon. HiperLon can be pumped or placed using conventional equipment and HiperLon can be used with most finishing techniques including power or hand troweling and broom finished concrete.

(TEC Services) is an AASHTO R18 and International Accreditation Service (IAS) (TL-458) accredited laboratory in compliance with ANS/ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2005 and is an Army Corps of Engineering approved laboratory. TEC Services is pleased to present this report on the testing of cast fiber reinforced concrete beams in October of 2012. The fiber used in testing was designated as a 3 inch Nylon Macro Fiber at dosages of 3.00, 5.00, 10.00, and 15.00 pcy. The testing of the beams was performed in accordance with ASTM C1609-10 Standard Test Method for Flexural performances of Fiber- Reinforced Concrete (Using Beam With Third-Point Loading) at an age of 7 days. This work was performed in accordance with our Service Agreement (TEC-PRO-12-0972). The test results presented only pertain to the samples tested. Mix proportions and fresh concrete properties are reported on the following page along with hardened concrete properties. The mix design used was representative of a standard 4,000-5,000 psi slab mix at 7 days. Per ASTM C1609 the beam samples were tested using a Satec- Model 5590-HVL closed-loop, dynamic servo-hydraulic, testing machine conforming to the requirements of ASTM E4-07 Standard Practices for Force Verification of Testing Machines. Load and deflection data were collected electronically at a frequency of 5 Hertz. Three 6 x 6 x 20 beam samples were cast for each mix and tested using a 18 span length. The load was applied perpendicular to the molded surfaces after the edges were ground with a rubbing stone. Net deflection values, for both data acquisition and rate control, were obtained at the mid-span and mid-height of the beams. The rate was held constant at 0.002 in/min of average net deflection for the entire duration of each test. ASTM C1609 test results are reported in Tables 2-5. Graphs of the load versus deflection curves of the beams tested are presented in Figures 1-4. Deflection measurements were taken after the completion of the C1609 test method and used for calculating resilience of the beams specimens. The beams were unloaded and the deflection at which the beam return was recorded and subtracted from the maximum deflection achieved during testing (0.12 inches). This value was then converted to a percentage by dividing the difference by 0.12 inches and multiplying by 100. Calculated resiliency is reported in Table 2. 1

(TEC Services) is an AASHTO R18 and International Accreditation Service (IAS) (TL-458) accredited laboratory in compliance with ANS/ISO/IEC Standard 17025:2005 and is an Army Corps of Engineering approved laboratory. TEC Services is pleased to present this report on the testing of the submitted shotcrete test panels October of 2012. The fiber used in the shotcrete was designated as a 3 inch Nylon Macro Fiber at dosages of 5.00 and 25.00 pcy. The testing of the beams was performed in accordance with ASTM C1609-10 Standard Test Method for Flexural performances of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (Using Beam With Third-Point Loading) at ages of 7 & 28 days. This work was performed in accordance with our Service Agreement (TEC-PRO-12-0972). The test results presented only pertain to the samples tested. Four 6 x 6 x 20 beams were saw cut from each panel in accordance with ASTM C1140. Per ASTM C1609 the beam samples were tested using a Satec- Model 5590-HVL closed-loop, dynamic servo-hydraulic, testing machine conforming to the requirements of ASTM E4-07 Standard Practices for Force Verification of Testing Machines. Load and deflection data were collected electronically at a frequency of 5 Hertz. Two 6 x 6 x 20 beam samples were tested for each age at each dosage. The span length used in testing was 18 inches. The load was applied perpendicular to the molded surfaces after the edges were ground with a rubbing stone. Net deflection values, for both data acquisition and rate control, were obtained at the mid-span and mid-height of the beams. The rate was held constant at 0.002 in/min of average net deflection for the entire duration of each test. ASTM C1609 test results are reported in Tables 2 and 3. Graphs of the load versus deflection curves of the beams tested are presented in Figures 1 and 2. Deflection measurements were taken after the completion of the C1609 test method and used for calculating resilience of the beams specimens. The beams were unloaded and the deflection at which the beam return was recorded and subtracted from the maximum deflection achieved during testing (0.12 inches). This value was then converted to a percentage by dividing the difference by 0.12 inches and multiplying by 100. Calculated resiliency is reported in Table 1. 1
