FIBRIL

Features

• Structure: fibrillated microfibres are made up of a single filament that has been mechanically split into multiple smaller filaments, resulting in a fibrous appearance.
• Properties: typically have a higher aspect ratio (length to diameter ratio) compared to FIBRIL®F microfibres.
• Dispersion: the special coating and fibrillated structure give these microfibers a tendency to disperse more easily within the concrete matrix.
• Adhesion: the fibrillated texture enhances the bonding between the fibre and the surrounding concrete matrix.
• Crack Bridging: providing excellent crack-bridging capability, meaning they can effectively distribute stress and restrain crack propagation.
• Excellent resistance to all acids and alkalis.

Benefits

FIBRIL® increases ductility of concrete and the impact resistance. It also reduces the impact of damage caused by heavier transport. This fibre product has a better cohesion, which allows faster removing of the concrete formwork. Penetration of salt is hampered and concrete will not start spalling.

Consult with an expert

It's important to note that the specific benefits of FIBRIL®-reinforced concrete can vary depending on factors such as fibre type, dosage, mix design, and the intended application. Consulting with a structural engineer or concrete expert is recommended to determine the most appropriate fibre type and dosage for a given project.

Applications

FIBRIL® microfibres are often used in applications where crack control and post-cracking performance are critical, such as in industrial floors, shotcrete, and precast elements.
