Description
STRUX® BT50 synthetic macro fiber reinforcement is a high strength, high modulus synthetic macro reinforcement that imparts toughness, impact and fatigue properties to concrete. STRUX® BT50 is a patented engineered design providing superior post-crack control performance with a broad range of applications.
STRUX® BT50 Synthetic Macro Fiber reinforced concrete reliably achieves residual strength values in excess of 145 psi for every 4.5 lbs/yd3 (1 MPa for every 2.7 kg/m3).
STRUX® BT50 fibers are 2 in. (50 mm) in length with an aspect ratio of 75 and are primarily designed to replace steel fibers, welded wire fabric, light rebar and other select secondary reinforcement. STRUX® BT50 is a user friendly fiber reinforcement which is easier and safer to use, compared to other types of reinforcement.
Application areas
- STRUX® BT50 Synthetic Macro Fibers are engineered for ease of use, excellent dispersion and finishability in slab-on-ground flooring applications.
- STRUX® BT50 can be used in commercial, industrial and manufacturing floors, along with other select flat and form work applications.
- STRUX® BT50 is also ideal for use in precast tunnel segments and other select precast applications, pavements and soil stabilization projects, shotcrete and blast resistance.
Benefits
- Unique packaging provides superior dispersion
- Savings from reduced labor, material and storage costs and shorter construction time compared to secondary reinforcement
- Enhances safety by eliminating handling of steel fibers, welded wire fabric or rebar
- Eliminates proper reinforcement positioning concerns
- Provides superior crack control due to the geometry and elastic modulus
- Non corrosive
- Controls both plastic and drying shrinkage
- Increased crack resistance, ductility and energy absorption and toughness
- Improved impact resistance
- May be used to provide effective crack width control
