MACRO FIBER PT54
Macro Fiber PT54 made of 100% virgin copolymer polypropylene, consists of twisted bundles of monofilament fibers, are used for structural concrete reinforcement. Its high performance structure yields maximum durability without corrosion, magnetic and alkali risk. Great number of fibers resulted by its low density allows to achieve three-dimensional reinforcement in concrete matrix.While preventing shrinkage cracks and providing temperature reinforcement, Macro fibers PT54 provide ductility, high energy absorption and flexural toughness to concrete and eliminate the need for steel mesh and steel fibers
Summary
PT54 Macro synthetic fibers can be used as reinforcement instead of steel mesh and steel fiber within concrete. Our engineering department provides technical assistance on demand for necessary project calculations such as energy (joule) absorption and flexural capacity calculations.

Facts
Advantages:
- Saves time from handling the steel mesh on the site – off-load from truck, store and move to point of use
- Significantly reduces application times and direct labor expenses
- Saves material costs by eliminating the mesh overlap and concrete cover
- Prevention of corrosion increases service life and reduces maintenance costs
- Eliminates labor related risks and removes potential hazards from the work site related to steel mesh and steel fiber
- Does not damage construction equipment as steel fiber
- Reduces costs of storage and due to not having a shelf life can be stored for long-term
- Overall cost is lower that steel mesh and steel fibers
Usage Instructions and Mixing:
Depending on the project requirements, Macro Fiber PT54 recommended dosages vary between 2-3 kg/m3
Homogeneous mixture is obtained by addition of PT54 to the aggregate band at the concrete batching plant or by mixing in a high speed concrete mixer for at least 5 minutes in the field. It is recommended to use plasticizer additives at high fiber dosages.
