Fiber Products
At 21st Century Concrete we offer 3 different types of fiber for your projects. For more information about the fiber we offer, contact 21st Century Concrete.
macro Fiber
Macro Fiber is used to reduce plastic and hardened concrete shrinkage, improve impact strength and increase fatigue resistance and concrete toughness. This extra heavy duty macro-synthetic fiber offers maximum long-term durability. Macro Fiber is used to reduce or replace traditional steel reinforcement (wire mesh). More information about the Macro Forta Ferro Fiber can be found here.
Micro Fiber
Buckeye is a micro fiber product we offer our customers to be used as a secondary reinforcement. These fibers help to prevent plastic cracking and remain unseen. The fiber is dye friendly and has the ability to take on the color of dyed concrete. More information about Micro Fiber can be found on this data sheet.
Steel Fiber reinforced Concrete
Steel Fiber reinforcement is used as an alternative to conventional rebar reinforcement as well as wire mesh. Steel fiber reinforcement will deliver a concrete floor system with less cracking, greater impact resistance and overall increased durability, while saving days in the construction process.
We use the American Concrete Institute Committee’s 544 as our guideline in designing steel fiber concrete slabs in order to meet required building codes. Our supplier will also redesign conventional reinforced concrete slabs to steel fiber reinforced slabs at no additional cost. More information about Steel Fiber can be found on this data sheet.
