MasterFiber™ FF3
MasterFiber FF3 steel fiber is a low carbon, drawn wire for reinforced concrete. The ends of the MasterFiber FF3 fibers are mechanically deformed in order to provide maximum adhesion between the steel fiber and concrete. MasterFiber FF3 steel fibers redistribute stresses within concrete, restraining the mechanism of crack formation, propagation and extension. The result is a more ductile reinforced concrete that is able to maintain a residual load-carrying capacity in the post-cracking phase.
