Certification
Fibrous Concrete Reinforcement
UltraFiber 500®
Material:
Solomon Colors, Inc. certifies that the UltraFiber 500® fibers are made from
100% virgin specialty cellulose fiber with patented alkaline resistance coating
specifically engineered and manufactured for use as fibrous secondary
reinforcement for concrete. UltraFiber 500® meets the material specifications
described in ASTM C-1116-08, Section 4.1.4 Type IV Natural Fibers and ASTM D7357-07 Cellulose Fibers.
Performance:
We further certify that concrete test specimens produced containing a minimum
of 1.0 lbs/yd3 (0.6 kg/m3) of UltraFiber 500® have been evaluated by
independent test laboratories and have met or exceeded the specified values
for Plastic Shrinkage Cracking (ICC AC-217), Annex A), Alkali Stability (ASTM
D6942), Compressive Strength (ASTM C234), Freeze/Thaw Resistance (ASTM
C666) as described in ICC Evaluation Service AC217, Acceptance Criteria for
Concrete with Virgin Cellulose Fibers. UltraFiber 500® has been classified by
Underwriters Laboratories as 2 hour fire rated on all Composite Metal Deck
Assembly D700, D800 and D900 Designs.
Application:
UltraFiber 500® is an alternate system to welded wire fabric and mild
temperature steel when used for non- structural secondary reinforcement in
hardened concrete

Buckeye UltraFiber 500® - 2 Hour U~L. Classified
By Michael J Schultz~ PE & Bruce Harding, PhD
Buckeye UltraFiber 500® has been Classified as 2 Hour Fire Resistant when used in D700, D800 and D900
series Floor-Ceiling composite metal deck assemblies as a replacement to welded wire fabric for secondary
reinforcement at a dosage rate of 1.0 lb/cy. To obtain this classification, UltraFiber 500® was tested by
Underwriters Laboratories in a fire test of a full scale D900 series composite metal deck assembly at their
laboratory in Northbrook, Illinois.
The classification testing was performed per acceptance criteria ANSI/UL263 (ASTM El 19 and NFPA 251),
"Fire Tests of Building Construction and Materials." The average furnace temperature from which the fire
rating was derived is 1000°F at 5 min., l 400°F at 15 min., 1550°F at 30 min., 1700°f at 60 mjn. and 1850°F at
120 min.

USE
This category covers fiber rein forcement and concrete additives investigated for use in fire-resistance designs as detailed in the individual
certifications and in Fire-resistance Ratings - ANSI /UL 263 (~) The fiber reinforcements are intended to control temperature and shrinkage cracking of structural concrete when proportioned and mixed as
specified in the individual certifications. These fibers have not been investigated to increase the structural capacity of t he concrete/fiber mixture.
Fibers that may also be used as an alternative to the welded wire fabric are identified in t he individual certifications. AC! 318, "Building Code
Requirements for Structural Concrete and Commentary," and ANSI/SDI Ct.O, "Standard for Composite Steel Floor Deck," should be consulted
regarding structural design requirements.
The concrete additives are intended to control temperature and thermal t ransmission of structural concrete when the mix is proportioned as
specified in the individual certifications. These additives have not been investigated to increase t he structural capacity of the concrete.
Concrete addit ives may be added as specified in the individual certifications. AC! 3 18 and ANSI/SDI Ct.O should be consulted regardi ng structural
design requirements.
Where indicated in the individual certifications, product s covered under this category have also been evaluated by ICC Evaluation Service (ICCES).
