Synthetic concrete fibers
Description
Synthetic concrete fibers
Synthetic concrete fibers are produced by linking monomers to polymers, during a process called polymerization. Synthetic fibers are one of the strongest and best fibers available for concrete, and after mixing with concrete creates special properties for concrete.
Features:
- It has high resistance to acids and bases
- Prevents the spread of cracks in concrete
- The best alternative to mesh and reinforcement in concrete
Applications:
- Suitable for spraying and shotcrete concrete
- Suitable for flooring warehouses and garages
- Suitable for the production of sewage pipes
Package:
20kg bag
Product Description – Synthetic Concrete Fibers
In European and developed countries of the world, various fibers are used to reinforce concrete instead of rebar. Fibers in our beloved country Iran have found a place in concrete structures for some time now that can be used. Fibers used in concrete reinforcement are modeled and supplied in various shapes and designs. One of the highest quality fibers produced and used is synthetic concrete fibers, which have polymer properties and are produced from synthetic materials. Synthetic fibers create special properties after being combined with concrete. They also have higher tensile strength than similar fibers, and it can be said that the tensile strength of this type of fiber is 650 MPa, which is twice that of rebar. Synthetic concrete fibers are highly recommended for removing rebar from industrial floors. Also, the use of these polymer concrete fibers prevents the spread of cracks in concrete.
Synthetic concrete fibers are generally used to reduce shrinkage cracks in concrete. These polymer fibers are able to provide high tensile strength. They also improve durability and reduce cracking.

Consumption of synthetic fibers in concrete
The amount of synthetic fiber used can vary depending on the type of structural elements. However, the average amount of synthetic fiber used varies from 10 to 15 kilograms per cubic meter depending on the desired performance.
Maintenance of synthetic fibers in concrete
Duration: Three years in original packaging.
Conditions: Away from cold and frost, heat and direct and prolonged sunlight.
Best storage temperature: +10 to +30 degrees
Method of using synthetic fibers in concrete
- Synthetic fibers can be added to concrete at any time.
- The best time to add synthetic fibers is in the middle stages of making the concrete mix.
- Synthetic fibers can be gradually poured into the mixer and mixing continued at high speed until the synthetic fibers are completely dispersed throughout the concrete.
- Usually, synthetic fibers are mixed with aggregate at the beginning of the mixing process, and then water is added to it.

Safety of synthetic fibers in concrete
- Synthetic concrete fibers are not toxic or hazardous materials, but due to the slow biodegradability of synthetic polymeric materials in nature, they will pose a problem for the environment if left in nature.
- If swallowed, consult a doctor.
- Wear gloves when working.
- This substance is flammable.
Mechanism of action of synthetic fibers in concrete
Synthetic concrete fibers are produced in the form of intertwined strands and have very desirable performance and properties for efficiency in concrete and concrete products in order to prevent cracking. Synthetic concrete fibers are used as the most desirable alternative to mesh and rebar in concrete. It is necessary to state that you know that there are 220 thousand intertwined fibers in each kilogram of synthetic fibers. The tensile strength of synthetic concrete fibers is about 650 MPa, which is 2 times that of rebar. These fibers are combined in concrete alone and are the best alternative to rebar in concrete.
