Monahan FiberWorx 150 is classified as microsynthetic fibers based on a number of criteria that include configuration, length and composition. First, FiberWorx 150 meets the requirements of ASTM C1116, Section 4.1.3 as well as ASTM D7508. Further, FiberWorx 150 is a homopolymer polypropylene resin monofilament fiber meeting the minimum requirement for plastic shrinkage crack control at 1.0 pcy per ICC ES AC32.
Durastran® Synthetic Macro-Fiber Strands are highly engineered fibers, designed to enhance the concrete’s toughness, and are a replacement for welded wire reinforcement and conventional steel bars when used as secondary reinforcement to absorb the energy and stress from shrinkage and macro-cracking.
Durastran® Fiber Strands provide effective tight crack control, increasing the concrete structure’s long-term durability and performance through flexural and tensile strength improvements.
Durastran®HB Synthetic Fiber Strands are a Hybrid Blend of industry leading fibers, brought together in a single dosage to provide a Total Crack Management System.
The Micro-Fiber Strands help to manage the stress from millions of micro-cracks that typically form during the first 24 hours. The Micro-Fiber Strands also are uniquely designed to chemically bond with the concrete paste, and arrest those forming cracks, helping to keep them from propagating.
The Macro-Fiber Strands are engineered to enhance the concrete’s toughness, as a field-proven replacement for WWR and conventional steel bars when used as secondary reinforcement. They are designed to carry post-crack stress and load beyond the plain concrete’s originally designed capability.
Durastran®4X Synthetic Macro-Fiber Strands are an Industry Exclusive; with an Ultra-High Fiber Yield. Their unique design delivers performance through every phase of the concrete’s curing and long-term drying process. Durastran®4X is an excellent replacement for conventional (secondary) steel reinforcement; as a crack management system with excellent finishability.
