INNOVATIONS REPORT
FIBER REINFORCEMENT
Company presents its acrylic AC
60 micro fiber as unique among
commercially available synthetic
concrete reinforcements, noting
how the product a) is specifically
engineered and creates an ionic
bond between fiber and concrete
matrix; exhibits very high tensile
strength (800 MPa) that transfers
efficiently to the concrete matrix;
and, is flexible and can be used at
very high loading rates, creating
no defects or protrusion on the
finished surfaces. Test results
indicate that AC 60 can fully
substitute for welded wire fabric
(6X6XW1.4XW1.4), company
engineers note, adding that the
product is the only sythnethic
microfiber on the market that
meets both criteria for post crack
integrity in the document, ICC
