FMAX MAC S54 is a high-performance structural monofilament macrofiber that meets Type 3 requirements according to ASTM C 1609-10 and ASTM C 1116 standards. It is designed for shotcrete and concrete floor construction, replacing traditional steel mesh used for temperature reinforcement.
MACROFIBER FMAX MAC S54 provides multidirectional reinforcement to concrete, resulting in increased flexural strength, energy absorption, stress toughness, impact and abrasion resistance. It also reduces the formation of cracks due to plastic shrinkage and elastic deformation during service.
Its unique shape and consistency allow MACROFIBER FMAX MAC S54 to not interfere with the typical mechanical finishing process of industrial concrete floors, resulting in a smooth surface finish.
Furthermore, the use of MACROFIBER FMAX MAC S54 as a substitute for the traditional steel mesh offers significant cost savings in materials and installation time. Additionally, it is lighter, environmentally friendly, and easier to use compared to steel mesh.
BENEFITS
• Cost savings compared to steel mesh.
• Reduces construction time.
• Eliminates errors in mesh placement.
• Improves resistance to tensile/flexural stresses.
• Reduce slab thickness with prmper design.
• Improves concrete toughness.
• Good energy dissipation capacity.
• Reduces concrete segregation.
• Promotes homogeneous bleeding of concrete.
• Reduces the risk of breakage and spalling at angles and
corners.
• Eliminates the risk of injury from handling steel mesh.
• Three-dimensional reinforcement has an advantage over two-dimensional steel mesh.
