Description
STRUX® BT50 synthetic macro fiber reinforcement is a high strength, high modulus synthetic macro reinforcement that imparts toughness, impact and fatigue properties to concrete. STRUX® BT50 is a patented engineered design providing superior post-crack control performance with a broad range of applications.
STRUX® BT50 Synthetic Macro Fiber reinforced concrete reliably achieves residual strength values in excess of 1 MPa for every 2.7 kg/m3 (145 psi for every 4.5 lbs/yd3).
STRUX® BT50 fibers are 50 mm (2 in.) in length with an aspect ratio of 75 and are primarily designed to replace steel fibers, welded wire fabric, light rebar and other select secondary reinforcement. STRUX® BT50 is a user friendly fiber reinforcement which is easier and safer to use, compared to other types of reinforcement.
Application areas
- STRUX® BT50 Synthetic Macro Fibers are engineered for ease of use, excellent dispersion and finishability in slab-on-ground flooring applications.
- STRUX® BT50 can be used in commercial, industrial and manufacturing floors, along with other select flat and form work applications.
- STRUX® BT50 is also ideal for use in precast tunnel segments and other select precast applications, pavements and soil stabilization projects, shotcrete and blast resistance.
Benefits
- Unique packaging provides superior dispersion
- Savings from reduced labour, material and storage costs and shorter construction time compared to secondary reinforcement
- Enhances safety by eliminating handling of steel fibers, welded wire fabric or rebar
- Eliminates proper reinforcement positioning concerns
- Provides superior crack control due to the geometry and elastic modulus
- Non corrosive
- Controls both plastic and drying shrinkage
- Increased crack resistance, ductility and energy absorption and toughness
- Improved impact resistance
- May be used to provide effective crack width control
