MasterStrength FIB

Fibre Reinforced Polymer (FRP) System for Structural Strengthening of Concrete and Timber Structures (formerly MasterBrace Fibre)

How Does MasterStrength FIB Work?

MasterStrength FIB sheet reinforcement materials are enveloped in MasterStrength 4500 resin to yield a range of high performance composites with many features.

Recommended Uses:

• Flexural and shear strengthening elements that may not be planar (flat)

• Increasing compressive strength via axial confinement of columns

• Seismic retrofitting of columns and piles for earthquake resistance

• Enhancement of fatigue resistance under repetitive loading conditions

• Walls, beams, slabs, silos, chimneys, tanks, pipes, tunnels, piles etc

What Are the Benefits of MasterStrength FIB?

MasterStrength Fibres (in general)

• Lightweight and durable - Easy to apply and non-corroding

• High strength to thickness ratio – does not interfere with widths or thicknesses of members non-obtrusive

MasterStrength Carbon Fibre

• Increased strength- for Flexure, Shear, Confinement & Fatigue enhancement and end anchoring of MasterBrace Laminates

MasterStrength Aramid Fibre

• Increased strength for -Impact resistance or Blast (Explosion) resistance
