Durable solutions made of plastic fiber-reinforced concrete
Depending on the requirements, either our Fibrofor High Grade, Fibrofor Diamond or Concrix fibers are used for roads, traffic circles, bus stops, corridors, etc. Airports such as Strasbourg and Milan Malpensa have also been relying on our fiber solution for years and have achieved enormous cost savings as a result.
Our Concrix bi-component fiber offers decisive advantages for track substructures. Conventional steel reinforcement, which can be extremely time-consuming to install in track substructures, is often completely replaced. In addition, there is no need for the complex earthing required when using steel in order to avoid interference with the supply electronics.
The resistance of our fibers to salt water, a permanent problem in areas where road salt is used, but also the alkali and acid resistance ensure the durability and long service life of the surfaces, as proven by extensive tests at independent test institutes.
There is no danger for tires and, in the case of freight routes, for animals, as unlike steel fibers, any protruding plastic fibers are soft and cannot cause any damage or injury. Deformations such as ruts are also not an issue.
We determine the optimum solution for you (cost-benefit) by means of an in-house structural analysis.
Long service life for the highest demands.
Resistant concrete surfaces
Corrosion, a problem with steel fibers and steel mats, is not an issue with polyolefin fibers. The plastic fiber-reinforced concrete can withstand even intensive road salt applications and thus reduces maintenance.
Our products increase the resistance of the concrete surface to abrasion caused by vehicles, seawater or other uses. This extends the service life of traffic areas and buildings in contact with water.
The fibers are easy to mix in and spread evenly in the concrete. All types of surface treatment are possible, as the fibers can be worked into the surface very easily.
