Synthetic Macro-Fiber Reinforcement
®
Enhanced Performance
As Built-In Reinforcement, Durastran ® is
Positioned Three Dimensionally – providing
isotropic performance and added toughness
throughout the entire concrete structure. This
flexural toughness and residual strength can be Top View (24X) Side View (24X)
increased with higher Fiber volume fractions. The unique design and bonding elements
of the Durastran® Fibers can be easily seen
Key Benefits of Use under magnification. This engineered shape
• For Increased Durability and Flexural creates the micro-mechanics that resist the
Toughness in both Precast Structures and post-crack pullout forces; and dissipates
more energy, causing ductile behavior. The
SOG applications
result is more durability & longer life.
• Special packaging provides excellent
dispersion in the mix – eliminating balling and
clumping when mixed according to ASTM C94 Product Characteristics
• Unique geometry delivers superior Specific Gravity 0.91
crack control Fiber Configuration Rigid; Crimped
Fiber Length 38 & 51 mm (1.5 & 2.0”)
• Safe and Easy to use – non-corrosive
Color Natural – White
• Eliminates the higher costs and hassles Absorption Nil
associated with using conventional steel, or Alkali Resistance Excellent
