07 · Reinforcement for gypsum and plaster
Natural fibers: sisal and flax
Natural fiber is the traditional reinforcement added to gypsum and plaster. Mixed into the plaster it raises hardness and mechanical strength, speeds up absorption and binds the material together, so the finished work resists cracking and can be pulled in long, continuous runs. We supply graded sisal fiber and super-white flax fiber in pressed bales.
