MACROFIBER FMAX FLEX T54 is an easy-to finish, flexible macrofiber that meets type 3 according to ASTM C 1609-10 and ASTM C 1116 standards, designed for various shotcrete applications and construction of concrete floors, replacing traditional steel mesh used as temperature reinforcement.
MACROFIBER FMAX FLEX T54 has the ability to provide multidirectional reinforcement to concrete, resulting in increased flexural strength, toughness (energy absorption after cracking), impact and abrasion resistance, as well as reducing the formation of plastic shrinkage cracks in concrete and elastic deformation in the service stage.
Its particular shape and consistency allows MACROFIBER FMAX FLEX T54 not to interfere with the typical mechanical finishing process of industrial concrete floors, thus allowing an excellent good surface finish.
In addition, the use of MACROFIBER FMAX FLEX T54 in place of traditional steel mesh allows considerable savings in material costs and placement times, as well as being lighter, more ecological and easier to use than steel mesh.
BENEFITS
• Cost savings compared to steel mesh.
• Reduces construction time.
• Eliminates errors in mesh placement.
• Improves resistance to tensile/flexural stresses.
• Reduce slab thickness with proper design.
• Improves concrete toughness.
• Good energy dissipation capacity.
• Reduces concrete segregation.
• Promotes homogeneous bleeding of concrete.
• Reduces the risk of breakage and spalling at angles and corners.
• Eliminates the risk of injury from handling steel mesh.
• Three-dimensional reinforcement has an advantage over two-dimensional steel mesh.
APPLICATIONS
• Pavements, industrial and residential floors.
• Hydraulic structures.
• Precast elements.
• Tanks, pipes, and swimming pools.
• Tunnel linings.
• Fiber cement.
• Stucco and mortar.
• Waterproofing and sealants.
