SikaFiber Technology

CONCRETE SikaFiber® TECHNOLOGYFibres are an ideal ingredient for improving the performance of concrete and mortar. They increase energy absorption and fire resistance, whilst reducing shrinkage crack, fracture formation and crack widths. By adding fibres to the mix during production, concrete becomes more durable and resistant. When used in construction projects, it ultimately requires a lot less reinforcing steel than conventionally-reinforced concrete. For centuries, fibre reinforcement has been a major part of construction, and as materials and processes have evolved, so too has fibre technology. Concrete applications with fibres have expanded considerably in recent times, and are now fully-established in the market – with new materials now capable of replacing traditional fibres.
