ThermoDyn reinforcing fibre PP-B for concrete reinforcements
The finely distributed concrete reinforcement, with the help of polypropylene fibres, is an advantageous and highly innovative solution that completely replaces the classic steel reinforcement.
By using the latest technologies and a special formulation developed by engineers, RoFero fibers show remarkable properties.
Made of pure polypropylene, these structural monofilament fibres offer high tensile strength and a shape that allows very good dispersion in concrete.
They offer maximum concrete resistance and long-life cycle, structural improvement and allow the control of plastic contraction and expansion of the concrete. Polypropylene fibres are corrosion resistant, non-magnetic and 100% alkali resistant.
Advantages:
replace steel fibres in a ratio of 1:10
improvement of physical properties of concrete
larger areas between the expansion joints or with increased dosage, casting without expansion joints
a much higher absorbency of RoFero fibers compared to steel fibers in liquid concrete
Applications:
The RoFero fibers are used wherever high material requirements are made, such as for example
ground level constructions
Industrial and commercial floors
Floor with little or no expansion joints
bridge building
shotcrete
loading ramps
precast concrete parts
parking spaces
streets
further construction projects
Processing:
Depending on the static calculation, the recommended dosage of RoFero is 1/8 kg per cubic metre of concrete. The mixing and homogenization can be carried out in the concrete mixing plant as well as directly in the concrete mixer. The fibres should be mixed into the concrete for 7 minutes at medium speed. If the dosage is increased, it is recommended to add appropriate additives for liquefaction instead of water. Recommendation: 10 g bag for 25 kg sack of cement.
