Recron 3S Fiber

Recron® 3s Fibres are Engineered Micro Fibres with a unique “Triangular” Cross-section, used in Secondary Reinforcement of Concrete. It complements Structural Steel in enhancing Concrete’s resistance to Shrinkage Cracking and improves mechanical properties such as Flexural / Split Tensile and Transverse Strengths of Concrete along with the desired improvement in Abrasion and Impact Strengths.

PRIMARY APPLICATIONS

  • Pavement quality Concrete
  • Foundations / Retaining
  • Floorings / Grade Slabs
  • Walls Shotcrete
  • Decks/Overlays
  • Roof Slabs
  • Bridge

FEATURES AND BENEFITS

  • Improves Resistance to Plastic & Drying Shrinkage Cracking
  • Improves Flexural Toughness / increases Split Tensile Strength
  • Inhibits growth of Cracks-bridges Micro-Cracks and provides stability to Concrete
  • Enhances Abrasion Resistance & increases Energy Absorption of Concrete thereby improving Impact Resistance
  • Acts as a Pumping aid in making Concrete more homogenous
  • Reduces Surface Water Absorption / Permeability in Concrete
  • Improves Durability and enhances Longevity of Concrete/Structure
