Synthetic Microfibers for Concrete
PSI FIBERSTRAND 150 is a monofilament polypropylene microfiber engineered to provide early-age crack control for concrete, mortar, and grout. Compliant with key industry standards, these synthetic microfibers for concrete effectively mitigate plastic shrinkage cracking, reduce segregation, and enhance surface durability. As a leading choice for fiber reinforced concrete in Africa, it delivers reliable performance across a wide range of applications.
Features & Benefits
- Plastic Shrinkage Crack Control: Actively controls and mitigates the formation of plastic shrinkage cracks in fresh concrete.
- Improved Concrete Integrity: Reduces segregation, plastic settlement, and bleed-water for a more uniform and stable concrete mix.
- Three-Dimensional Reinforcement: Provides multi-directional reinforcement against micro-cracking, improving overall toughness.
- Enhanced Durability: Increases surface durability while improving fire, impact, and abrasion resistance.
- Cost-Effective Alternative: Serves as a more efficient and lower in-place cost solution compared to traditional wire mesh for non-structural temperature and shrinkage crack control.
- Simple Integration: Easily added to the concrete mixture at any point before placement without requiring special equipment.
Applications
- Slabs-on-grade, sidewalks, driveways, and parking lots
- Footings, foundations, walls, and tanks
- Curb work, overlays, and toppings
- Stucco applications
- Precast and prestressed concrete elements
- Shotcrete and slope paving applications
- Composite steel deck construction
- Applications requiring spalling control and fire protection
