Item Code: STRONGCRETE

Fibrillated Mesh Fibres (STRONGCRETE) is a chemically surface treated 100% Virgin high tenacity fibrillated polypropylene mesh fibre based concrete additive and is available in graded lengths. It provides 3D micro-reinforcement to concretes. It is used @ 0.9 kg per m3 of concrete (minimum). STRONGCRETE complies with ASTM C 1116 and ACI committee report 544-1R.

The key actions of Fibrillated Mesh Fibres are as follows:

• Reinforcement against shrinkage and intrinsic cracking.
• Replaces welded wire mesh / secondary crack control steel used for crack prevention of concrete floorings.
• Reduces bleeding and dust formation in concrete.
• Improves impact resistance 3-4 times.
• Improves abrasion resistance by 30-40%.
• Gives residual strength to concrete thereby helping reduce sudden failures. This is a desirable characteristic of concrete in areas prone to earthquakes.
• Reduces permeability, thus reducing water ingress and protects reinforcement steel from corrosion.
• Makes the concrete more durable & tougher.

Application of Fibrillated Mesh Fibres :

• Industrial Flooring.
• Warehouse Flooring.
• Concrete Roads.
• RCC Beams, Columns & Slabs.
• Bridge Decks.
• Driveways.
• Overlays Toppings.
• Concrete Tanks.
• Basement Waterproofing.
• All types of concrete, where toughness is required along with elimination of shrinkage cracks and other desirable characteristics as mentioned above.

Important information for our buyers:

• Dosage: Minimum 0.9 kg /m3 of concrete.
• Water Cement Ratio : STRONGCRETE is a physical micro-reinforcement and does not react chemically hence additional water is not required.
• Mixing Process: Mix directly in the concrete mixer @ 125 g /50 kg bag of cement or 0.9 kg/m3.
• Note: Fibres should not be used for replacement of structural or load bearing reinforcement.
