For application in cement or concrete, glass fibers are required to be Alkali Resistant (AR). Cem-FIL® fiber are manufactured from a specially formulated glass composition with an optimum level of Zirconia (ZrO2) to meet this requirement. Cem-FIL® glass exhibits a high degree of chemical resistance and was specifically developed to resist the very high alkalinity produced by the hydration of Ordinary Portland Cement.
Cem-FIL® AR glass fiber have high tensile strength and modulus, do not rust and are easily incorporated into concrete mixes.
Cem-FIL® fiber are produced as rovings or bobbins of continuous strands, bags or cartons of chopped strand, rolls of chopped strand mat and rolls of continuous filament mesh.
| Product Reference List |
| Cem-FIL® 54/76 | Cem-FIL® 54/76 is a spray roving with easy processing and incorporation, enabling the production of GRC elements with excellent finish and reproduction of detail. |  |
| Cem-FIL® 60/3 | The high integrity of the product makes it suitable for use in a variety of production processes including vibration-casting, pumping, spraying, or dry-blending with other materials. |  |
| Cem-FIL® 61/2 | In the premix process, Cem-FIL® 61/2 is chopped into small strands with high abrasion resistance. The fibre remains integral and this provides easy incorporation into the matrices and good workability. |  |
| Cem-FIL® 70/30 | Cem-FIL® 70/30 is a special purpose AR glass fiber chopped strand designed for mixing with cement and other materials where a high degree of dispersion of the fibers is needed |  |
| Anti-Crak® HD | Anti-Crak® HD is typically used at a low level of addition to prevent cracking & improve the performance of concrete, flooring, renders or other special mortar mixes. They incorporate easily into mixes giving a very large number of distributed reinforcing fibres from a small weight of product. Anti-Crak® HD can be added at the central mixing plant to the wet concrete mix; or directly into the ready-mix truck. |  |
| Anti-Crak® HP | Anti-Crak® HP has been developed to improve the mechanical properties of concrete mixes. It is mainly used for floor screeds, slabs, and for the preparation of pre-bagged mixes of special mortars and renders. AR glass reinforcement has a similar density to concrete and does not float. It provides a homogeneous dispersion of the fibres within the concrete mix. Anti-Crak® HP is recommended for shotcrete in very aggressive environments, or for fire-protection of structural frames. |  |
| Cem-FIL® 62/3 | Cem-FIL® 62/3 is a high integrity AR glass fiber chopped strand designed for use in the manufacture of vibration-cast or premixspray GRC components. |  |
| Anti-Crak® W-70 | Anti-Crak® W-70 Chopped Strands are particularly suited to the reinforcement of Cement, Heat-Resistant Ceramics, Calcium Silicate or Gypsum matrices, and may also be used to reinforce paints or other coating materials. |  |
| ARcoteX® 5326 | ARcotex® 5326 is a Direct Roving designed mainly for filament winding and pultrusion, though it can also be used easily as a weaving roving. |  |
| Cem-FIL® 62/2 | Cem-FIL® 62/2 chopped strand has a sizing system optimised for abrasion resistance and strand integrity during blending with dry materials. The low-tex strand permits efficient reinforcement at low dosages. It is particularly suited to the preparation of prebagged mixes of special mortars or renders. |  |
| Cem-FIL® 5325 | Cem-FIL® 5325 has been particularly designed for the weaving of woven fabrics, meshes/nets, scrims, etc. It has a size which is compatible with cement-based matrices. The rovings Cem-FIL® 5325 are particularly well suited to the needs of the market for the reinforcements of GRC (Glass Reinforced Cement) as well as screeds, mortars or renders. |  |
| Anti-Crak® - Solutions for Concrete Reinforcement | Anti-Crak® fibers are alkali resistant glass fibers, especially developed for the reinforcement of cementitious mortars and concrete mixes. They can be easily introduced into a conventional concrete mix giving millions of dispersed fibers per cubic meter of concrete, providing a highly uniform and effective reinforcement. |  |
