Addition of fibers into concrete mixture enhances flexural strength, tensile strength of concrete which in turn increases the durability of concrete. And also increases resistances to abrasion, impact, shear loads.
Synthetic fibers are hydrophobic in nature, which means that fibers do not absorb water in the concrete mixture. Synthetic fibers do not alter the water-cement ratio in the concrete mix design.
Monofilament Triangular Fiber for concrete reinforcement that complies with Standard Specification for Fiber Reinforced Concrete and Shotcrete, and is specifically designed to help mitigate the formation of shrinkage cracking in concrete. Typically used at a dosage rate of 0.9 kg/m3, FIBERCRETE PF have been shown to greatly reduce shrinkage cracking by as much as 82% when compared to plain concrete.
