MACROFIBER
Polypropylene Macro Fiber
CETEX Macrofiber is structural macrofiber made of 100% virgin polypropylene, which has been thermally, chemically and mechanically processed to uniformly distribute in the cementetious mortar and provide a highly effective three-dimensional concrete reinforcement system. It conforms to ASTM C 1116/C 1116M “Standard Specification for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete”

BENEFITS
-
Cheaper, more environmentally friendly and lighter than steel reinforcements.
-
Uniform distribution throughout the concrete matrix
-
Enhanced aesthetics and eliminates the potential for rust stains
-
Excellent finishability Enhances durability
-
Reduces Initial Crack formation
-
Eliminates the need for welded-wire reinforcement (WWR) and conventional steel bars as secondary reinforcement, depending on the application
-
Minimises thne crack formation
-
Provides plastic shrinkage crack reduction and settlement control
-
Customised macrofiber with Aspect Ratio ranging from 40 to 250
-
Use as secondary reinforcement to control shrinkage and temperature cracking and to provide performance equivalent to that of other commercially available synthetic macrofibers, at a reduced dosage.
-
Imcrease initial strength of concrete hence faster demoulding of form work
-
Reduces construction time and overall labor and material costs
-
Increases flexural toughness, impact and shatter resistance
-
Reduces carbon footprint compared to convetional steel reinforcement
