MasterFiber™ FS7
MasterFiber FS7 steel fiber is a low carbon, drawn wire for reinforced concrete. The ends of the MasterFiber FS7 fibers are mechanically deformed in order to provide maximum adhesion between the steel fiber and concrete. MasterFiber FS7 steel fibers redistribute the 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.
