Baumex® polymer fiber
Baumix® steel fiber
Baucon® polypropylene fiber |
Concrete reinforced with polymer, steel and polypropylene fibers (fibred concrete) belongs to so-called composite materials. Compared to regular concrete, fibred concrete is characterised by improved crack control, better fatigue resistance, greater tensile performance. The level of fibres' performance depends strongly on quality and amount of fibres applied, their shape and dimensions as well as their adhesion to mature concrete. Utilizing our industrial flooring experience and in cooperation with leading research centres in Poland, we have developed and patented our own assortment of Baumex® polymer fibres, Baumix® steel fibres and Baucon® polypropylene fibres. |

POLYMER Fiber RECOMMENDED
BAUMEX® polymer fiber – patented, innovative synthetic fibre making use of modern polymers' characteristics: extreme strength and flexibility. Custom-designed shape together with advanced materials result in unique fiber capable of replacing traditional steel mesh or steel fibre reinforcement, as well as offering impressive concrete tensile strength.
STEEL Fiber
Thanks to relatively short and thin Baumix® steel fibres - fibered concrete becomes more homogenous than traditional concrete. This is due to hooked Baumix fibre endings, which perfectly anchor in concrete matrix. Still Baumix® fibers are even more efficient due to their slimness (length to diameter ratio). The higher the slimness, the more efficient the fiber is, and lower dose for cubic meter.
d - diameter, l - length, λ - slimness (lenght to diameter ratio)
Steel fibers, alternatively to traditional reinforcement, are also supported by economical reasons, e.g. possibly much thinner concrete slab, lower material, labour and transport costs necessary for traditional welded mesh concrete reinforcing.
Concrete reinforced with Baumix® steel fibres is homogenous material with homogenously distributed reinforcement, which results in:
- Improved tensile strength while bending
- Improved durability
- Shrinkage reduced by 20 to 40 %
- Improved compression resistance
- Improved dust proofness
- High impact resistance against static and dynamic loading
- Improved frost resistance
- Improved rust proofness
- Improved fatigue resistance
- High sudden tempearure changes resistance
POLYPROPYLENE Fiber
BAUCON® polypropylene fibres are used to prevent concrete shrinkage. They work merely until concrete itself is capable of bearing greater load then polypropylene fibre. Baucon® polypropylene fibre innovatove shape allows for only 600 g of fibre per cu. m for the concrete mixture to be strong enough.
Polypropylene fibres
Add polypropylene fibres to concrete to achieve following:
- prevent cracks when curing concrete
- avoid steel welded wire mesh
- minimize water absorbency
- improve frost resistance
- improve concrete homogeneity
- improve rust proofing
- improve dust-proofness
