MasterFiber 143

Structural Synthetic Fibre for Reinforcement in Cast and Sprayed Concrete Applications as an Alternative and/or Supplement to Existing Concrete Reinforcement Products

How Does MasterFiber 143 Work?

MasterFiber 143 is engineered for use as secondary reinforcement to control hardened shrinkage, temperature, and settlement cracking.
MasterFiber 143 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 143 conforms to the requirements of EN 14889.2 Class II.

Areas of Application

MasterFiber 143 applications include, but are not limited to:

• Slabs on ground: footpaths, shared user paths, industrial floors, and hardstands

• Precast: Pits, troughs, tanks, and panels

• Shotcrete: Civil slope stabilization
  

What Are the Benefits of MasterFiber 143?

• Allows for full or partial substitution of steel mesh reinforcement

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

• Improves concrete ductility and energy absorption

• 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

• 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
