High Performance Synthetic Fibers are sometimes
referred to as "Micro Fibers." These micro
fibers provide an Excellent bond to the concrete
that enhances the toughness and post crack ductility
of the concrete.
Materials
- HPS Fibers are made of a special Polypropylene
material.
Increased
Length & Thickness - The
length and thickness of HPS fibers are
more than that of regular concrete fibers.
The bond to the concrete is greater because
of this increase.
HPS
Blends - When the HPS fibers
are combined with the micro fibers, this
blend provides reinforcement for plastic
as well as restrained shrinkage cracking.
Dosages
- Typical dosages of the HPS Fibers range
from 3 lbs to 7 lbs depending on such
factors as loading conditions, joint spacing,
shrinkage considerations, and mix design.
