Reinforcement Fibers

Fiberstrand 150 is monofilament polypropylene micro-fiber for concrete reinforcement that complies with ASTM C 1116, and is specifically designed to help mitigate the formation of plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete.

Features / Benefits:

• Controls or eliminates plastic shrinkage cracks
• Reduces segregation
• Minimizes bleed water
• Provides three-dimensional reinforcing versus two-dimensional with wire mesh
• Increases surface durability
• Reduces in-place cost versus concrete with wire mesh
• Easy to use and can be added to the concrete mix at any time prior to concrete placement

Fiberstrand F is a fibrillated, polypropylene micro-fiber for concrete reinforcement that complies with ASTM C 1116.

Features / Benefits:

• Controls or eliminates plastic shrinkage cracks
• Reduces segregation
• Minimizes bleed water
• Provides three-dimensional reinforcing versus two-dimensional with wire mesh
• Increases surface durability
• Reduces in-place cost versus concrete with wire mesh
• Easy to use and can be added to the concrete mix at any time prior to concrete placement

Tuf-Strand SF “structural fibers” are a patented, self-fibrillating polypropylene/polyethylene blended synthetic macro-fiber successfully used to replace steel fibers, welded wire mesh and conventional reinforcing bars in a wide variety of applications.

Features / Benefits:

• Equivalent strengths to WWM and rebar provided by engineering calculations
• Reduces equipment wear, fiber rebound and increases build-up thickness compared to steel fibers for shotcrete applications
• Increases overall durability, fatigue resistance and flexural toughness
