Description
Adfil®Strux 3032 synthetic macro fibers are high strength, high modulus synthetic reinforcement that is evenly distributed throughout the concrete matrix. The macro fibers add toughness, impact, and fatigue resistance to concrete and improve residual strength and durability. Unlike traditional microfiber reinforcement, Adfil®Strux 3032 macro fibers are specifically engineered to provide post-crack control performance. Reinforced concrete with Adfil®Strux 3032 macro fibers has been shown to reliably achieve residual flexural strength values in excess of 150 psi (1 MPa) at dosages that can easily be batched and finished. Adfil®Strux 3032 macro fibers are 1.25 in. (32 mm) in length with an aspect ratio of 30 and have specifically been designed to replace welded wire reinforcement, steel fibers, and light rebar reinforcement.
Adfil®Strux 3032 macro fibers are a finisher-friendly fiber reinforcement, which are easier and safer to use, compared to other types of reinforcement. Adfil®Strux 3032 macro fibers may be used in a variety of ready mix, precast and shotcrete applications including slab-on-ground flooring, overlays, pavements, bridge decks, composite steel floor deck assemblies, mass concrete, thin-walled precast elements (septic tanks, vaults, walls, etc.), tunnel linings, pool construction and slope stabilization.
Benefits
Can be used to completely or partially replace light rebar, welded wire reinforcement, and steel fibers.
- Saves money through reduction or elimination of steel labor and material movement and storage costs, and fewer construction days.
- Enhances jobsite safety by eliminating handling of steel fibers, welded wire reinforcement, and rebar.
- Enhances jobsite safety by eliminating tripping hazards commonly associated with welded wire reinforcement and rebar.
- Eliminates concerns of proper positioning of reinforcement.
- Provides superior crack control due to the geometry, elastic modulus, and corrosion resistant properties (non-ferric). Due to unique fiber design and uniform three dimensional dispersion, both plastic and drying shrinkage cracking is reduced, improving the ductility and durability of the concrete.
- Ease of pumping, passes easily through pump grates.
- May be used to provide effective crack width control.
- Reduces shotcrete rebound and improves cohesion
