Colorcom Cellulose Fiber is a kind of organic fiber derived from natural wood that is chemically treated. It appears like cotton wool, white or gray. Through filter, split, high temperature treatment, bleaching, chemical treatment, neutralizing, screening, this fiber will be sorted into kinds of different length and thickness in order to accommodate needs of different materials. As the processing temperatures is up to 260 ℃ or more, it is chemically very stable under normal conditions, against corrosion by general solvent, acid and alkaline, with good quality of non-toxic, odorless, non-polluting, non-radioactive, and has no influence to environment as well as no harm to human beings ,which belongs to the green products. However other mineral fibers don’t possess these qualities. The microstructure of this fiber is like ribbon bent, while uneven, porous, and flat at the intersection, with great toughness, dispersion and chemical stability. It has excellent water absorption capacity , great thickening ability and crack-resistance property.
Performance parameters:
Length: <6mm | ash content: 18 ± 5% |
PH value: 7.5 ± 1 | oil absorption rate: more than five times the weight of the fiber itself |
Moisture rate : <5% | heat-resistance capacity: 210 ° C ( up to 280 ° C in short time) |
Main functions: it is widely used in the field of asphalt roads, concrete, mortar, plaster products, wood pulp sponge, which has good effects in preventing cracking of the coating surface, improving water retention, fabrication stability as well as construction suitability, increasing strength, and enhancing surface adhesion, etc.Its main technological function is: thyrotrophic, protection, absorption, carrier and filler.
Cellulose fiber’s insulation functions in construction materials:
Cellulose fiber is easily dispersed in the insulation materials to form a three-dimensional space and can absorb 6-8 times the weight of its own self. This combination feature enhances material's workability, handle ability, slide-resistance and improves construction's speed; its dimensional stability and thermal stability play a leading role in heat preservation and crack resistance in insulation materials ; the function that cellulose fiber can transfer moisture make hydration between the slurry surface and the primary interface adequately , thereby increases the surface strength of the insulation material, uniformity of the primary bond strength and material strength. These properties make cellulose fiber an indispensable additive in insulation materials.
Cellulose fiber does not dissolve in water, weak acid and alkaline solution; neutral PH value, so it can increase system's corrosion-resistance.
Cellulose fiber is of low weight while large surface area, with excellent heat insulation, sound insulation, isolation and air permeability, thermal expansion uniform with no shell or crack; higher wet film strength and better coverage effect.
Cellulose fiber has excellent flexibility and dispersibility, when mixed it forms into a three-dimensional structure, which enhances support force and durability of the system, and improve system's stability, strength, density and uniformity.
The viscosity of cellulose fiber's structure make the uniformity of manufactured prefabricated slurry (wet and dry materials) remain stable and reduce shrinkage and expansion of the system, also improve construction or recast’s accuracy greatly.
Cellulose fiber has strong capacity of antifreezing and heat-shielding; when the temperature reaches 150 ° C it can insulate heat a few days; when up to 200 ° C dozens of hours; when more than 220 ° C a few hours.
Cellulose fiber's function in concrete of the asphalt road:
The biggest advantage of fiber asphalt mixture pavement is that it can prevent pavement distresses ,such as reflective cracking, early damage etc., but also improve pavement performance and increase its stability in high temperature, enhance ability of anti-cracking in low temperature, and improve pavement fatigue life, so as to extend asphalt pavement life. Compared with other pavement technology (such as SMA, modified asphalt, fiber grid), it has its own unique economic advantages.
It can prevent non-structural crack resulted from various plastic and mechanical contraction, segregation or other factors, increase ductility of concrete in plastic stage, enhance concrete's cohesiveness and water retention, also improve concrete's workability, thereby to reduce segregation, bleeding and settlement, prevent early shrinkage and settlement cracks effectively .
Improve impact strength and fatigue strength during stage of concrete hardening; reduce fracture effecting, and increase continuity of material media, also reduce local stress concentration caused by blocked shock wave; absorb impact energy, especially has the ability to continue to absorb impact energy after first crack, while slow expansion of the crack width; be able to extend concrete's fatigue life and improve concrete's capacity of stiffness retention in the fatigue process.
Improve concrete's axial tensile strength and bending tensile strength. Concrete is a kind of brittle material with low tensile strength, generally whose compressive strength is only 6% -12%. Due to relatively low tensile strength, when the concrete surface appears heavy tensile stress, it is easy to form cracks, which reduces the concrete's durability seriously. However concrete mixed with fiber can ensure compressive strength on premise, further reduce brittleness of concrete effectively, and improve the flexural strength, thus to enhance concrete's durability, opening up a bright prospect of resolving concrete's common quality problem effectively.
