MasterFiber 141

Polypropylene Fibre for Reinforcement in Sprayed and Cast Concrete Aapplications as an Alternative and/or Supplement to Existing Concrete Reinforcement Products

How Does MasterFiber 141 Work?

MasterFiber 141 is engineered for use as secondary reinforcement to increase energy absorption of the concrete matrix.
MasterFiber 141 is an option for the replacement or supplementation of steel mesh reinforcement and is an easy-to-use secondary reinforcement system that is rust proof and alkali resistant.
MasterFiber 141 conforms to the requirements of EN 14889.2 Class II.

Areas of Application

MasterFiber 141 applications include, but are not limited to:

• Shotcrete: Ground support for tunnels, mines, and slope stabilization

• Slabs on ground: Mine haul roads and industrial flooring at mine sites
  

What Are the Benefits of MasterFiber 141?

• Allows for full or partial substitution of steel mesh reinforcement.

• Improves concrete ductility and energy absorption.

• Reduces labour, construction, transport, and storage costs compared to a solution with conventional reinforcement.

• Provides increased flexural toughness to the concrete and decreases crack occurrence due to constrained deformation and impact.

• Enables carbon reduction within the concrete element.

• Provides a rust free reinforcing solution.

• Decreases shotcrete rebound.

• Excellent resistance in alkaline and acidic environments.

• Easy to dose either at the batch plant or on site concrete mixer truck prior to application.

• Safe to handle and no negative impacts on machinery wear
