Application Of Concrete Fibers - Application Of Concrete Fibers Importer, Manufacturer, Supplier, Trading Company, Mumbai, India

We offer our clients with concrete fibers like Anti Crak TM HD glass fibers which are widely appreciated for their high quality. These concrete fibers reduce plastic shrinkage cracking, up to 86.3 %( Kraai Test) and increase compressive strength by 13%. Our concrete fibers find their application in Floor screeds, Ready mix concretes, RCC, Dry mix renders and Mortars.

Application Of Concrete Fibers
FLOOR SCREEDS / SUBS ON GROUND : Floor screeds/Slabs on ground are used in various forms, ranging from very thin 10 mm (3/8in) final floor toppings to layers of greater thickness up to 80 mm (3m) which may be used for encapsulating heating elements. In all cases the superior impact and crack resistance of fiber reinforced screeds enables them to be laid more thinly than conventional screeds whilst giving better performance.

Anti-Crak fiber content may be relatively high (1%) in the thinnest screeds, and less than 1 kg/m3 (2lb/yd3) in thicker forms.

READY MIX CONCRETE : For control of early plastic shrinkage cracking and general improvement of concrete, Anti-Crak fiber is effective at any addition rate as low as 0.6kg/m3 (1 lb/ yd3) and is added to normal concrete mixes without any change in formulation. A particular benefit of glass fiber, however is that its easy mixing characteristics allow addition of higher dosages. for example up to 10 kg/m3 (17lb/yd3) and at these levels of addition the hardened, long-term properties of the concrete are usefully improved.

PRECAST CONCRETE : Small additions of Anti-Crak fibers can be used in precast concrete components to effect useful improvements. For example, in conventional steel reinforced precast cladding panels or civil engineering elements, the addition of only 2-4 kg/m3 (4-7lb/yd3) of Anti-Crak in concrete, can give benefits of avoidance of cracking, elimination of edge or demoulding damage. and an improvement in surface finish and appearance. At higher addition rates, for example 18kg/m3 (30 lb/ yd3) of concrete, Anti-Oak HP fibers can be ttoe sole reinforcement, without the need for conventional steel mesh, in small precast items such as channels and boxes.

RENDERS / STUCCO : Anti-Crak fiber, with an addition rate of 0.05% of HD up to 1.5% of HP contributes to a highly successful render/stucco system. Applied by either spraying or trowelling to a thickness of 4-10 mm (l/8-3/8m). the finished render has superior resistance to impact and shrinkage cracking and is less permeable to water than normal sand-cement render, fiber reinforced render/ stucco is also used in dry blockwall construction and external insulation systems. In many cases Anti-Crack fiber is dry-blended with other mix components and the whole supplied to the site in bagged form.

GUNITE / SHOTCRETE : Anti-Crak fiber at up to 1% by weight of total rrvx can be added to normal sprayed concrete mixes, giving a crack resistant and impact resistant lining from a relatively thin layer compared with normal sprayed concrete. Both dry guniting and wet sprayed concrete process can utilize Anti-Crak fiber reinforcement. Major benefits of Anti-Crak glass fiber compared with other fiber types are reduced rebound and wastage, and a non-hazardous surface which does not need a final protective coat.

ANTI-CRAK FIBERS : High Tensile Strength (1700 Mpa) 3-4 times higher than that of steel. High Elastic Modulus 10 times that of polypropylene.
