Fiber Reinforced Concrete Additive – iChem’s Advanced Solution for Crack Control & Durability
Fiber Reinforcement for Concrete is one of the most effective modern concrete additives offered by iChem for Modern Construction Solutions in Egypt and the Middle East.
These fibers are designed to enhance concrete performance and durability by reducing shrinkage cracks, improving surface strength, and increasing resistance to harsh environmental conditions.
What Is Fiber Reinforcement for Concrete?
Fiber reinforcement consists of fine synthetic or steel fibers that are added directly to concrete or mortar mixes during batching.
Once distributed throughout the mix, the fibers create a micro-reinforcement network that helps control crack formation and improves overall strength and cohesion of the hardened concrete.
Key Benefits of iChem Fiber Reinforcement
🔹 Reduces Cracks and Shrinkage
Fibers minimize plastic shrinkage cracks caused by drying or thermal movement, ensuring smoother and more uniform concrete surfaces.
🔹 Enhances Durability and Abrasion Resistance
Fiber-reinforced concrete offers higher resistance to abrasion, impact, and wear, making it ideal for industrial floors, pavements, and heavy-duty structures.
🔹 Extends Concrete Service Life
By reducing permeability to water and chemicals, fibers protect concrete against freeze–thaw cycles and corrosion, extending the overall service life of the structure.
🔹 Lowers Construction and Maintenance Costs
In many applications, fibers can partially replace traditional steel mesh reinforcement, reducing material and labor costs while minimizing future repair needs.
Technical Features
Added directly to concrete or mortar during mixing.
Improves surface finish and cohesion after hardening.
