Genesis XF

GENESIS XF fibers are specially engineered with a patented technology that enhances mechanical bonding with the mortar mix through a micro-reinforcing system. This system improves the residual strength by 26% compared to other leading fibrillated fiber products on the market today. The unique technology of GENESIS XF fibers also provides excellent temperature shrinkage and plastic shrinkage crack control.

These fibers are manufactured from virgin homopolymer polypropylene resins and meets the requirements of ASTM C1116/ C1116 M and the requirements of ICC ES AC32 Section 3.1.1 for plastic shrinkage reinforcement and 3.1.2 for shrinkage and temperature reinforcement.

GENESIS™ XF Fibrillated Fibers are manufactured from virgin homopolymer polypropylene resins, and meet the requirements of ASTM C1116/C1116M “Standard Specification for Fiber-Reinforced 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 as a secondary form of reinforcement (does not replace primary/structural reinforcement)
  • Delivers tight crack control
  • Enhances long-term durability
  • Improves green strengths and permits earlier stripping of forms with less rejection
  • Reduces construction time and overall labor and material costs
  • Increases flexural toughness, impact, and abrasion resistance
