Our Fiber Products
Whether you’re trying to reduce the occurrence of plastic shrinkage cracking or looking to eliminate typical temperature and shrinkage reinforcement, fiber offers versatility to improve the interior and exterior slabs on ground.
Benefits Include
Fiber Concrete
- Faster construction times through reduced labor
- Lower construction costs
- Safer project site
- Reduced plastic shrinkage cracks
- Elimination of welded-wire mesh and conventional reinforcing bars used for temperature and shrinkage reinforcement
- Increase in toughness, abrasion and impact resistance
Fiber Offerings
Monofilament Micro Synthetic Fibers
 |
Monofilament Micro-fiber reinforcement reduces plastic shrinkage crack formation and improves the cohesion of the concrete mixture, all of which give you durable, low maintenance concrete. |
- Excellent reduction in plastic shrinkage cracking
- Measurably reduces plastic settlement
– Don’t overwork the surface during bull floating.
– Over working the surface will result in more visible fibers on the surface.
– If a laser or vibratory screed is used, bull-floating may not be necessary.

Like the placement of steel reinforcement, macro synthetic fibers can be placed in concrete to transfer post-crack stress, reduce crack widths, increase impact/abrasion resistance and generally improve the long-term performance of the slabs and walls. Macro synthetic fibers eliminates the need for welded-wire mesh (WWM) and small diameter reinforcing bars used as secondary reinforcement, depending on the application. |
- Replaces shrinkage and temperature (secondary) reinforcement
- Reduces construction time and overall labor and material costs
- Increases flexural toughness, impact and shatter resistance
- Reduced crack width
Tips for Finishing MAC 330 Fiber-Reinforced Concrete – Best For Hard Trowel Finish*
• The use of float pans on ride-on or walk behind machines are highly recommended as they enhance the finishability of concrete surface.
• Float pans should be used until noticeable resistance is observed with the finishing machine.
• A final pass with finishing blades should occur after pan removal.
• Finishing blades should be kept as flat as possible before increasing the tilt angle of the blades.

Tips for Finishing MAC Matrix Fiber-Reinforced Concrete – Best For Broom Finish*
- Keep the broom head at a 45-degree angle.
- Broom with a single pass in one direction as it creates a more uniform appearance and will result in less fibers being pulled from the surface.
- Periodically clean broom bristles over time to reduce fiber build up which can cause surface irregularities

Steel Fibers
 |
Steel fibers can be used to replace secondary reinforcement within slabs and walls. In addition, certain applications allow steel fibers to replace primary reinforcement. For horizontal and vertical applications. |
- Increases tensile strength
- Increases concrete strain capacity
- Decrease cracking width
- Increases durability in slabs
- Increases modulus of rupture
Tips for Finishing Helix Steel Fiber-Reinforced Concrete – Reinforcement for shrinkage, temperature and flexural reinforcement*
What is the purpose of reinforcing in a concrete driveway or interior slab?
- Reinforcing for concrete driveways and interior slabs is used to keep control joints/saw cuts and random cracks, should they occur, tight so that both sides of the joint or crack act together when a vehicle drives over the joint or crack. Reinforcing is also used to control joint and random crack widths due to thermal changes.
