Glass fiber Armalit_BASE

Main designs and directions of fiber reinforcement for concrete:

• monolithic industrial floors all types of screeds (warm floors, protective screeds, etc.)
• all types of monolithic concrete structures (foundations, piles, monolithic slabs, floors, etc.)
• plastering work hydraulic structures, swimming pools
• road surfaces, landscaping of facilities
• fiber concrete for various purposes
• shotcrete, etc.

The high strength of fiberglass, unlike polypropylene fiber, absolute chemical and corrosion resistance, the absence of the effect of temperature changes, a high fire resistance threshold, makes the use of fiberglass fiber in construction an effective tool for significantly improving the qualities of concrete structures:

• Increase in the strength qualities of concrete elements by 50%
• Increase in the reliability of structures due to a significant stable effect from crack formation both at the installation stage (absence of shrinkage cracks) and during operation under the influence of all types of loads, both dynamic and static
• Significantly increases wear resistance and thereby increases the service life of structures that, due to their characteristics, are actively operated (monolithic floors of logistics complexes, service areas of commercial facilities)
• Increase in the service life of structures and concrete bases in difficult operating conditions (livestock complexes and poultry farms, granaries, silos, chemical and oil refineries, concreting of open areas for servicing industrial facilities, roads, bridges, hydraulic structures, port structures, underground tanks, tunnels, etc.), due to additional protection provided by adding fiberglass fiber to such elements, from chemicals (chemical resistance, corrosion resistance), from temperature effects (frost resistance), moisture (waterproofing properties), fire (fire resistance).
• Reduction of construction costs – due to high strength characteristics, it is advisable to design with the possibility of reducing the dimensions of structures and concrete layers, in contrast to concreting with standard solutions.

Recommended standard estimated consumption: 0.6-0.9 kg per 1 m3 of solution, for specialized structures operating in extremely heavy operating conditions up to 3 kg/m3. 

For better effect and distribution, add to the mixture during dosing of dry components (sand, cement and crushed stone), then mix for at least 5 minutes, then add water.

Fiberglass fiber is shipped in multiples of 0.6/ 0.9/ 25 kg packaging.
