Concrete fibers: glass, polypropylene, and steel fibers

Thanks to the significant increase in strength and durability that our glass fibers provide to concrete and mortar, the use of mesh and veils is replaced. It offers continuous and three-dimensional reinforcement throughout the coating.

Its multifilament structure ensures maximum compaction. Likewise, its excellent elasticity prevents deformations and allows it to withstand the tensions derived from thermal and hydraulic shrinkage.

Completely resistant to alkalis and most acids, our glass fibers for concrete impede water loss. At the same time, they extend the lifespan of the mortar. The surface is completely ready for polishing, molding, and the addition of any desired additives.

Topciment®'s glass fibers for concrete have been modified to offer higher tensile and compressive strength than mesh and metallic fibers. They also provide increased impermeability, superior resistance to abrasion and impact, and a better final finish.

Made of 100% modified fibers, polypropylene fibers serve as an alternative reinforcement system to mesh. They help reduce the likelihood of cracks caused by shrinkage in concrete and mortars.

Additionally, polypropylene fibers for concrete reduce the construction time. These products prevent erosion, provide impact resistance, and mix easily with concrete and mortars.

An added value is that polypropylene fibers exhibit excellent mechanical and chemical resistances. They act as a vapor barrier and can withstand high traffic, high tensile stress, and temperature changes to which stamped concrete may be exposed.

Topciment®'s polypropylene fibers for concrete also offer good dispersion, allowing for high compaction and reinforcement of concrete by bonding the surface and the matrix.

To manufacture these metal fibers wires of various diameters are used and cut into different lengths. They provide exceptional reinforcement for industrial applications of concrete where higher strengths are required.

Our steel fibers enhance the mechanical properties of stamped concrete, as well as its ductility, durability, and fatigue resistance. These steel fibers prevent cracks and fissures while significantly improving the performance of concrete, providing greater toughness to the pavement.

This is a vital accessory for concrete, as the absence of steel fibers could lead to the development of cracks over time. Therefore, we strongly recommend their use. Topciment®'s steel fibers for concrete exhibit excellent adhesion, increase the hardness of the concrete, and provide superior mechanical strength:

Regarding their application method, our steel fibers can be directly incorporated into fresh concrete or mixed beforehand with sand and aggregates. It is crucial never to add them directly to the mix with the primary components.
