Glass fiber is a reinforcing material used to enhance the strength and durability of concrete structures. It consists of thin strands or filaments made from glass, which are incorporated into the concrete mixture. Glass fibers improve the tensile strength of concrete, making it more resistant to cracking and enhancing its overall structural integrity. Additionally, glass fibers enhance the durability of concrete by improving its resistance to environmental factors such as freeze-thaw cycles, chemical exposure, and abrasion. The selection of the right glass fibers is crucial to meet project requirements. Dharti Design & Decor is a trusted supplier of KDMFIBER® glass fibers in India. These glass fibers exhibit high stiffness, providing rigidity and dimensional stability to composite materials.
KDMFIBER® is a type of micro monofilament glass fiber that possesses engineering properties. These fibers are uniformly dispersed throughout every cubic meter of concrete or mortar. When added to concrete or mortar, they create a Micro Secondary Reinforcement (MSR) system. These monofilament fibers play a crucial role in controlling shrinkage cracking by providing restraint and distributing the stresses caused by shrinkage.
