Fast-Tube™

Technical

Proper curing of concrete: Fast-Tube™ is a vapor retarder and should be left in place for several days to promote proper curing;

Fast-Tube is a utility form manufactured from a woven high density polyethylene. Imperfections in the weaving can cause minor twisting and wrinkles;

Easy stripping: Made of polyethylene, Fast-Tube™ does not stick to concrete and can be left in place indefinitely without fear of adhesion;

Water proof: Fast-Tube™ can be left in the rain indefinitely without fear of failure or loss of strength;

Anti-friction plane: Fast-Tube™ eliminates risk of frost uplift around the column as coefficient of sliding friction of polyethylene is very low;

Mullen burst (FT8 -FT12) is 450 psi (ASTM #751); (FT14-FT18) 500 psi;

Diameters 8 – 12″ use a fabric with a grab tensile of 180 lbs.; diameters 14 – 16″ use a stronger fabric with an increased tensile of 345 lbs.

Fast-Tube™ is a utility fabric column form for forming round concrete columns. Manufactured from high strength polyethylene, Fast-Tube™ comes on rolls 100′ in length for diameters from 8″ to 12″ (in 2″ multiples) and 50′ lengths for diameters 14″ to 20″. Installation, pouring and stripping is quick and easy.
