Synthetic Macro Fiber embossed for Shotcrete Slab Precast
Length: 48mm, 50mm, 54mm
Description:
Synthetic Macro Fiber is a Structural synthetic macro fiber used as an alternate to steel fibers and welded wire mesh for precast concrete and shotcrete reinforcement applications.
Synthetic Macro Fiber compliance with ASTM C1116 and EN14889-2 Standard Specification for Fiber Reinforced Concrete and Shotcrete, and are specifically used to improve impact, shatter and abrasion resistance, to increase fatigue resistance, to increase toughness of concrete and provide long term durability of concrete and cement based building products.
Dosage rates will vary depending upon the reinforcing requirements and can range typically from 2kg/m3 to 10kg/m³.
Functions:
◆ Provides good impact, fatigue, shrinkage control and ductility in all grade concretes.
◆ Cost saving, easier to use, to disperse and safe to handle.
◆ Can be used in highly corrosive circumstance.
◆ The surface has been embossed,which greatly improves the cohesive force between fibres and concrete, and also boosts shrinkage resistance and crack resistance.
◆ The toughness of Synthetic Macro Fiber is less stronger than steel fibre. But test has shown slabs on grade and precast concrete predominately require a dosage rate of between 25kg-40kg of steel fibers per cubic meter, in comparison, using between 2kg-10kg of macro synthetic fibre per cubic meter of concrete.
Synthetic macro fibers achieve greater strength and ductility in the concrete matrix
Application:
Shotcrete, and engineering industries, concrete projects, like:
◆ Slab on Grade and elevated construction (distribution centers, warehouses, etc...)
◆ Thin walled precast (septic tanks, vaults, walls, etc...)
◆ Shotcrete for tunnel linings, pool construction and slope stabilization
◆ Pavements and white-toppings
