Product Steel Fibre Concrete - Product Steel Fibre Concrete - CEMEX UAE ReadyMix
Product Description
Steel Fibre Concrete utilises steel fibres designed to provide ultimate performance under intense loading conditions. This fibre system provides superior resistance to cracking in hardened state concrete, as well as maximum resistance to damage from heavy impact and dynamic loading.
Properties
- Increase flexural toughness / residual strength
- Provides post-crack performance
- Improves plastic properties of concrete
- Increased impact and abrasion resistance
- No requirement for crack control steel mesh
- Concrete placement and crack control in ONE operation
- Cost effective alternative to conventional steel mesh reinforcement
- Controls cracking which occurs in the hardened state
- Even distribution of fibres throughout the concrete
- A tougher surface with fewer bleed holes
Benefits
- Increased load bearing capacity of concrete
- Potential reduction of concrete slab depth
- Concrete retains load carrying capability after cracking has occurred
- Increased durability and reduced maintenance costs
- No need to purchase and store additional material
- No delays to fast track schedule
- Easier positioning of joints
- Reduced site labour requirement for on-site handling and cutting of steel reinforcement
- No secondary steel mesh is required and reinforcement is automatically positioned
- Reduced project costs
- Enhanced load bearing capability
- Improved flexural properties
- Reduced absorption of water, chemicals etc.
Application
- Heavy duty flooring applications – internal & external
- Civil Engineering applications
- Elevated composite metal decks, bridge decks, mass foundations
- Jointless industrial floors
- Overlay, patch repairs
- Walls
- Conventional rebar replacement

How to use
- The concrete can be compacted and finished normally.
- Troweling embeds the fiber into the concrete surface.
- Concrete with fiber can be pumped in most cases, but some mix design adjustments may be necessary.
