GENESIS Fibrillated Fibers are an excellent, cost, effective choice for applications requiring increased residual strength resulting from enhanced mechanical bonding that occurs between the fiber and mortar mix.

GENESIS™ Fibrillated Fibers are  manufactured from virgin  homopolymer polypropylene  resins, and 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 welded-wire fabric (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
