Strux 90 / 40
Description
STRUX® 90/40 is a unique, high strength, high modulus, synthetic macro fibre reinforcement that is added to ready mixed and precast concrete at the batching stage. STRUX® 90/40 controls drying shrinkage cracking, so it can be used as an alternative to steel mesh and steel fibre reinforcement.
Applications :
• Ground bearing floor slabs
• Ground bearing external pavements.
• Marine concrete applications
• Precast concrete
Product Advantages :
• Controls drying shrinkage cracking by controlling the propagation of micro-cracking thus improving toughness and durability of concrete.
• Can be used as an alternative to steel mesh reinforcement and steel fibre reinforcement.
• Uniformly distributed throughout the concrete matrix - no risk of incorrect steel mesh reinforcement placement.
• Improves residual flexural strength, impact and fatigue resistance of concrete - Re,3 values in excess of 30% can be reliably achieved (see UK Concrete Society Technical Report 34, 3rd Edition).
• Removes a site process so saves time on construction programme.
• No steel mesh storage, fixing, movement or crane costs.
• Ready-mix concrete truck can back up and freely discharge concrete which could remove/reduce pumping costs.
