GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Durastran® Synthetic Macro-Fiber is an engineered solution for managing the crack-causing stresses that develop from temperature and drying shrinkage over time. The Durastran® Fibers work to increase the concrete’s toughness and its ability to absorb more energy and control post-crack forces. As a field-proven replacement for conventional steel when used as secondary reinforcement, the Durastran® Fibers bond with the matrix to help dissipate the energy and carry the load beyond the concrete’s original design strength and capability.
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
FEATURES & ADVANTAGES
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS- For Increased Durability and Flexural Toughness in both Precast Structures and SOG applications
- Special packaging provides excellent dispersion in the mix - eliminating balling and clumping when mixed according to ASTM C94
- Unique geometry delivers superior crack control
- Safe and Easy to use - non-corrosive
- Eliminates the higher costs and hassles associated with using conventional steel, or steel fiber reinforcement
- Reduces labor and time on EVERY job and project
Recommendations
APPLICATIONS & BENEFITS
As Built-In Reinforcement, Durastran® is Positioned Three Dimensionally - providing isotropic performance and added toughness throughout the entire concrete structure. This flexural toughness and residual strength can be increased with higher Fiber volume fractions
