Known under the brand name Crackstop F, polypropylene Adfil micro synthetic fibrillated fibres meet and exceed the requirements stated vis-à-vis high performance concrete reinforcement solutions. Not only do they minimize the occurrence of plastic shrinkage cracking and plastic settlement. But they also enhance the surface properties, as well as extend the service life of the finished concrete structure.
Each Crackstop fibre type has been developed and manufactured to provide optimum performance for each individual construction need. The fibres are cut into different lengths with various thickness. Special coatings are added to the fibre within the production process to optimize dispersion and bond within the concrete. As do all Adfil fibres, our range of fibrillated fibres delivers a number of benefits over steel reinforcement. Examples include economic savings, environmental sustainability, logistical benefits, as well as improved health and safety conditions on site.
