1.5 LB BOX ULTRAFIBER 500 CELLULOSE FIBER CONCRETE REINFORCEMENT

Description

UltraFiber 500^®: Cellulose fiber reinforcement for industrial, commercial, residential, architectural, and decorative applications. Millions of microfibers bond with the concrete matrix to provide unsurpassed crack control with increased durability, impact, shatter, and freeze/thaw resistance. UltraFiber 500 will not ball or fuzz. It is invisible in the concrete and the only fiber that accepts color. This makes UltraFiber the best finishing fiber and the only fiber for decorative concrete.
