Macrotwist macro synthetic fiber reinforcement
Macrotwist is a macro synthetic fiber system considered for concrete applications where post-crack performance is part of the design brief. Product suitability and dosage are established from project requirements, not a universal rule.
Where is Macrotwist considered?
Industrial floors, logistics facilities, precast elements, shotcrete and infrastructure works may call for distributed reinforcement. Loads, ground conditions, joint layout and exposure must be reviewed for each project.
Design before dosage
The engineering team reviews the concrete mix, performance targets, placement method and applicable specifications before recommending a fiber quantity. A macro fiber is not an automatic substitute for conventional steel reinforcement.
From mixing to finishing
Plan addition sequence and mixer time with the concrete supplier. Check workability and fiber distribution on site, then follow the approved finishing, jointing and curing procedures.
Frequently asked questions
Can Macrotwist replace steel mesh?
Only when the structural design and project specification demonstrate that the proposed system meets the required performance. Some projects require combined reinforcement.
How is dosage selected?
Dosage depends on loads, slab or element geometry, concrete mix, joint layout and specified post-crack performance. Request a project-specific technical assessment.
