MAPEFIBRE BG 55

Structural polyolefin fibres for high-ductility concrete and shotcrete

Polyolefin fibres with high energy absorption capacity for concrete and shotcrete with increased toughness and superior post-crack ductility. Designed and optimised for civil works above and below ground.

WHERE TO USE

Concrete road surfaces
Precast elements and tunnel segments
Shotcrete for initial and/or final linings in tunnels
Concrete casting for final linings in tunnels, wells etc.

ADVANTAGES:

High performance – High energy absorption capacity for concrete with increased toughness and flexural strength;
Cost-effective – lower dosage per cubic metre, so lower transport costs and easier handling and storage
Better mixing and homogeneous distribution without balling – All fibres are supplied in easy-to-handle soluble pucks and packaged in pulpable bags.
Safe and easy to handle – compared with the use of steel fibres, Mapefibres are lightweight and safe to touch
Non-corroding for long-term durability
