PERFORMAX Synthetic Macro Fibers are uniquely engineered to provide “built-in-reinforcement” as a replacement for steel fibers, welded-wire fabric (WWF), and conventional reinforcing bars in a variety of secondary reinforcement applications. PERFORMAX Synthetic Macro Fibers help minimize temperature shrinkage cracking, plastic settlement, and plastic shrinkage cracking.

PERFORMAX™ Synthetic Macro Fibers are manufactured from a blend of 100% virgin polyolefin resins. PERFORMAX™ Synthetic Macro Fibers 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

• Improves worksite safety by eliminating handling of WWF and light rebar
• Uniform distribution of fibers throughout the concrete matrix
• Excellent finishability
• Superb post-first crack performance
• 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 excellent plastic shrinkage crack reduction and settlement control
• 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
