Fusion Synthetic Macro Fiber Blend

FUSION Sythetic Macro Fiber Blend is specifically engineered to replace steel fibers, welded-wire fabric, and conventional reinforcing bars when used as secondary reinforcement in slab-on-ground, thin wall, and other precast applications.

The special blend of our “best-in-class”, next-generation performance fibers creates a synergy of reinforcement unequaled in our industry. FUSION has captured plastic shrinkage and settlement, secondary , and post first-crack reinforcement- all in a single bag.

This is an excellent stand-alone macro fiber, possessing superior mechanical bonding properties, and compares favorably against other macro fibers when measured by ASTM C1399/C1399 M. Merging with SPECTER HP’s ultra-thin cross section, and engineered to provide the best plastic shrinkage crack reduction and highest monofilament polypropylene fiber count on the market.

FUSION™ Synthetic Macro Blended Fibers are manufactured from a blend of 100% virgin polyolefin resins. FUSION™ Fibers meet the requirements of ASTM C1116/C1116M “Standard Specification for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete”, ASTM D7508/D7508M “Standard Specification for Polyolefin Chopped Strands for use in Concrete”, and the requirements of ICC ES AC32 Section 3.1.1 for plastic shrinkage reinforcement and 3.1.2 for shrinkage and temperature reinforcement.

 

Features and Benefits

  • Eliminates the need for WWF and conventional steel bars as a secondary form of reinforcement. Does not replace primary/structural reinforcement
  • Delivers tight crack control
  • Provides greater than 85% plastic shrinkage crack reduction and settlement control
  • Improves green strengths- permits earlier stripping of forms with less rejection
  • Reduces construction time and overall labor and material costs
  • Increases flexural toughness, impact, and abrasion resistance
