Omega V Blend

Omega Blend V is an industry-proven combination of two unique fiber types that, when united, provides a secondary reinforcement structure that is an excellent alternative or replacement for welded wire mesh or light rebar. The engineered blend of carbon steel and our “best-in-class” polypropylene microfiber delivers tight temperature-shrinkage crack control, excellent plastic shrinkage crack prevention, and settlement protection by approximately 70%. The Steel Deck Institute has approved Omega Blend V for use in composite metal deck systems. The fibers are placed into pre-measured water dispersible bags that are uniformly distributed throughout the concrete to assure the owner, contractor, and design professionals an exceptional crack management system.

The carbon steel fibers in OMEGA™ Blend V meet the requirements of ASTM A820/A820M, Type V “Standard Specification for Steel Fibers for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete” and SPECTER™ meets the requirements of ASTM C1116/C1116M “Standard Specification for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete” and ICC ES AC32 Section 3.1.1 for plastic shrinkage reinforcement.
