Fiber reinforcing materials are truly some of the most innovative
products available in the industry today. Furthermore, fiber
reinforcing can be used in concrete, mortar, and grout mixes.
The benefits of using fiber reinforcing products include the
following:
- When added to fresh concrete, fiber reinforcing provides
protection against plastic shrinkage cracking.
- Crack resistance by providing surface continuity that promotes
impact resistance.
- Fiber reinforcing is typically less expensive than steel-based
reinforcement products.
- Less time, labor, and cost to prepare and install as it's easy
to mix, pump, and finish.
- Increased application life span due to the increased impact
and corrosion resistance.
- Reduced concrete permeability, as well as handling and
transportation stress.
- Concrete with fiber reinforcing experiences closer tolerances
to precast forms which permits earlier form stripping.
