Ny-Pro and Ny-Tuf fine and standard denier monofil-
ament nylon; and, FiberForce 100 and 150 ultra-thin
and standard monofilament polypropylene. Fibrillated
microsynthetic fibers are FiberForce 300 (standard grade)

FiberForce macrosynthetic fibers are the flagship
Macro Pro, a highly modified fibrillated polyolefin resin
blended product; Performance Plus DOT, approved by
state departments of transportation; 650, an embossed
tape product for cast-in-place applications; and, 1000
HP, whose unique profile maximizes mechanical bonding.
Company also offers macrosynthetic and microsyn-
thetic fiber blends that provide both post-first crack
reinforcement and plastic shrinkage crack and drying
shrinkage crack reinforcement. Typical blends are 4:1
macro and micro fibers, often dosed at 5 lbs./yd. Leading
