FABPRO’s OMEGA™ II Fibers should not be used to replacestructural, load-bearing reinforcement. OMEGA™ II Fibersshould not be used as a means of reducing thickness ofconcretesectionsbeloworiginal design,nor to increase jointspacing past those dimensions suggested by PCA and ACIindustrystandardguidelineswithoutfirstconsultingourdesignengineeranddesignprogramforproperdosagerates.
STORAGE AND HANDLINGStorage Temperature: OMEGA™ II Fibers should be stored attemperatures below 140°F (60°C). Use caution when stacking toavoidunstableconditions.Storeinasprinkledwarehouse.PACKAGING OMEGA™IIFibersareavailable in50 lb. (22.7kg)boxesand2,400lbs. (1,089 kg) to a pallet.
