Concrete Fibers are increasingly being recognized as a favorable substitute for unsustainable inputs. Aside from technical and cost advantages, such products have the added attraction of meeting growing consumer awareness concerning environmental, sustainability and social standards contributing to. Modern concrete is redefining the construction industry. Research is increasingly demonstrating the technical and economic benefits of including natural components in industrial products. Therefore, competitive products based on natural fibers are being developed that show excellent technical performance and harm the environment less. FIBERCRETE® is one such latest innovation in polymer extrusion products.
Kalyani Polymers Pvt Ltd. are leading manufacturer and supplier of Concrete Fibers to the Indian and International Markets under the brand name FIBERCRETE®. These synthetic fibers are more durable and used in concrete to control cracking due to plastic shrinkage and to drying shrinkage. They also reduce the permeability of concrete and thus reduce the bleeding of water.
Properties of FIBERCRETE® Synthetic fibers
Kalyani Polymers manufactures various grades of Synthetic Fibers for the construction sector. The specific technical parameters of each fiber product will dictate which grade should be used for your valuable construction projects. FIBERCRETE® Fibers are Tri-Component Polymeric based engineered fibers produced with the state of the art of European Machineries. Kalyani Polymers is the first company in India to manufacture Water Soluble Fiber Pucks.
The products comply with EFNARC, ASTM, IRC, MORTH, RVNL, MES Standards. These Synthetic Fibers enhance specific properties of the fresh and hardened concrete such as workability, segregation, bleeding, shrinkage, compressive strength, flexural strength, impact resistance, toughness or energy absorption, abrasion resistance, durability etc.
FIBERCRETE®.Synthetic fiber categories;
Synthetic Fibers are categorized into two classes based on their cross-sectional sizes and their intendant application usages.
- Micro Fibers: These are used in concrete to reduce plastic shrinkage cracks. Plastic shrinkage cracks are those that form while the concrete is in a plastic state. These cracks are typically caused by loss of moisture at the surface of the concrete.
- Macro Fibers: These are designed to infuse the concrete with high added levels of energy absorption, flexural toughness, durability & to increase the post cracking residual strength of concrete. It also helps to mitigate the formation of shrinkage cracking in concrete.
FIBERCRETE® Fiber Products are Certified and Approved by following Organizations
