FIBERMIX ARMOTEC
ArmoTec® is a synthetic macro fiber made of extra strong polymer, developed for concrete reinforcement. Polymer reinforcing macro fibers are particularly suitable for replacing welded wire fittings and usually used metal fibers in concrete environments where high chemical and corrosion resistance are required.
Information
Usage
Διάφορα Υλικά
Additional reinforcement of concrete, due to the homogeneous distribution of a huge amount of ArmoTec® macro fibers throughout the concrete matrix, controls the process of cracking and provides concrete with further reinforcement.
Concrete reinforced with ArmoTec® macro fibers has three-dimensional reinforcement with increased bending strength, shock resistance and surface abrasive hardness. ArmoTec® macro fibers will minimize cracking during shrinkage of concrete. Thanks to the special corrugated surface of the macro fibers, they provide excellent adhesion to concrete, increasing their effectiveness especially in shotcrete.
Benefits
- Redistributes the load – increased ductility / shock resistance
- Eliminates corrosion – durability
- Eliminates the setting of steel mesh
- Increases precast reinforced concrete production speed up to 50%
- Enhances abrasion and shock protection
- Safer and easier to work than steel
- Reduced tear-and-wear of concrete pumps and hoses
- Has excellent energy absorption.
Product Parameters
Form / configuration A firm monofilament of a special corrugated shape.
Material Polyolefin with modifiers.
Packaging Packages of 2/3 kg depending on length. Other type of packaging is available upon request.
ArmoTec® structural macro fibers can be added to concrete mix at any time prior to concrete application. It is generally recommended to add any fibrous material in the concrete plant during dosing. Macro fibers must be mixed with concrete for a minimum of three (3) to five (5) minutes with a maximum mixing speed, depending on the type of mixer, to ensure complete dispersion and uniformity. Other impurities can be added regardless of macro fiber addition. Synthetic macro fiber ArmoTec® is compatible with all admixtures.
Dosage
The dosage rate will vary depending on requirements for concrete reinforcement and on providing equivalent resistance to tensile strain and bending resistance. The recommended dosage range for ArmoTec® is from 2 to 8 kg/m³. When used in the appropriate dosage, ArmoTec® is an option to replace steel anti-shrink mesh, metal fiber or ordinary steel bars as a safe and easy to use alternative reinforcement system that is resistant to corrosion and alkali.
Storage
Shelf life is up to 36 months under condition that the macro fiber is stored in a dry place at a temperature from 0 to + 40°C without exposure to direct sunlight. The macro fiber must be in the original factory packaging. The placement of boxes with macro fiber should take place in a room protected from weather conditions, with a humidity of not more than 50%.
