TamFib SP
Overview
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.
Ecologic, safer and lighter than steel
Key specification
- Structural Polymer Macro Fibres for Reinforcing Concrete
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
- Sprayed concrete ground support in tunnels and mines
- 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
