Fibers are an ideal component for use in concrete and mortar as a way to improve the possible weaknesses of these materials. Concrete fibers reduce shrinkage crack formation and crack width, while also improving energy absorption and fire resistance. Other benefits can also be seen, such as the reduction or elimination of reinforcing steel as well as improved durability.
steel fibers
● Increase the load bearing capacity of concrete
● Increased durability
● Reduces absorption of water, chemicals etc.
● Reduced on-site labor to manage rebar
● Fibers are evenly distributed throughout the concrete (concrete tensile strength can be specified)
