Description :

STRUX 90/40 is a unique, high strength, high modulus synthetic macro fibre reinforcement that is added to readymix and precast concrete at the batching stage. STRUX 90/40 controls drying shrinkage cracking, so can be used as an alternative to steel fabric and steel fibre reinforcement. STRUX 90/40 conforms to EN 14889-2, Fibres for concrete – Part 2: Polymer fibres – Definitions, specifications and conformity.

Advantages :

• Controls drying shrinkage cracking by controlling the propagation of micro-cracking – improves toughness and
  durability of concrete.
• Can be used as an alternative to steel fabric reinforcement and steel fibre reinforcement.
• Uniformly distributed throughout the concrete matrix – no risk of incorrect steel fabric reinforcement placement.
• Improves residual flexural strength, impact and fatigue resistance of concrete – Re,3 values in excess of 30% can be
  reliably achieved (see Concrete Society Technical Report 34, 3rd Edition).
• Removes a site process so saves time on construction programme.
• No steel fabric storage, movement or crane costs.
• No risk of injuries from moving and installing steel fabric reinforcement.
• Ready-mix concrete truck can back up and freely discharge concrete, could remove/ reduce pumping costs.
