Polymer fiber TamFib SP

fabric

TamFib SP fibres are a structural polymer based macro fibre for concrete. It turns concrete into a reinforced composite material, increasing flexural toughness and energy absorption performance. Impact and corrosion resistance are also enhanced. TamFib SP fibres are manufactured to ISO 9001:2008, and conform to EN 14889-2:2006 – Polymer fibres for concrete – Definitions, specifications and conformity. Key Benefits Excellent energy absorption performance Very high flexural toughness Reduces the spalling possibility of the concrete edges Precise placement of steel mesh is not required, reducing the labour necessary to place and handle it Improves the mixture by reducing the potential of concrete segregation Reduces the overall bleed and consequential settlement cracking Removes the potential risk of corrosion of steel crack control mesh Cost effective versus steel mesh Ecologic, safer and lighter than steel Being polymer based they are effective permanent solutions as they do not corrode across cracks exposed to aggressive groundwater, or where de-icing salts are frequently used Typical Applications TamFib SP fibres can be used in concrete in tunnel and mines with the following applications: Sprayed concrete ground support Cast in-situ tunnel linings and base slabs Pre-cast tunnel linings and associated elements Industrial flooring applications at tunnel and mine sites Mine haulage roadways
