As alternative to steelfibers we have developed our worldwide patented bicomponent Macrofiber Concrix together with the EMPA.
Extensive tests prove
- excellent working capacity according to EFNARC: more than 1000 J with only 4.5 kg Concrix/m3 at 25 mm deformation (depending on the recipe of the concrete)
- creeping-resistance (long term tested, more than 1500 days)
- resistante against aggressive waters (de-icing salt, sulfate)
Additional advantages of Concrix are less rebound and thus less fiber and concrete waste and lower disposal cost and also almost no wearing of hoses and nozzles.
| Significant advantages |
|---|
| Excellent working capacity even at low quantities of fiber |
| Significantly lower fiber and concrete consumption due to much lower rebound compared to steel fibers |
| Reduction of working time due to faster wall thickness growth |
| Preserves machines, hoses and nozzles and thus extends their service life |
| Safer and easier handling than with steel |
| No danger of injuries from projecting fibers |
| No damage to cables, pipes etc. due to any fibers sticking out |
| Long service life (corrosion resistant, alkali resistant, no creep) |
