Concrete Reinforcement
Level 2 Reinforcement
“NEXT GENERATION OF REINFORCEMENT”
Green Umbrella® FiberLite™ – a low dosage, insoluble, transparent in the mix, uniquely designed, secondary reinforcement concrete fiber. Providing isotropic, monofilament fiber reinforcement that displaces evenly, without clumping or unsightly protruding from concrete commonly seen in other fibers. The even dispersion and transparency in the mix make it the best choice for exposed architectural concrete with integral or dyed floors and all exposed concrete finishes, vertical or horizontal. FiberLite™ provides the added protection from sudden temperature fluctuation and wind changes that cause unsightly plastic cracking—providing value engineering with the lowest dosage per c/y for standard fibers. Transparent in placement and finishing providing no burden to the finish crew. Secondary reinforcement with equal strength to Welded Wire Mesh. FiberLite™ reinforces without the need for large mats, installation, or potential vapor barrier damage due to puncture. Fiberlite can be used as an alternative or combined with wire mesh to reduce cracking due to stress in the slab. It provides three-dimensional next generation reinforcement throughout the concrete.

Green Umbrella & Fiberlite
Green Umbrella™ Fiberlite is a uniquely designed concrete fiber that can be used as a powerful reinforcement.
Fiberlite can be used as an alternative or combined with wire mesh to reduce cracking due to stress on the slab. It gives three-dimensional reinforcement throughout the concrete.
Fiberlite is a monofilament fiber that displaces evenly. It doesn’t clump or protrude, making it transparent in the mix, meaning it does not affect the final look , like protruding hairs, including when polished or dyed.
Cut Your Labor
Reinforcement in the mix.
Comparable to introducing a wire mesh mat into the mixer, instead of spending hours tying metal and mesh reinforcement on the ground, Fiberlite is reinforcement in the mix.
Cut Your Downtime
Repair time dramatically reduced.
The time spent returning to cracks for repair is dramatically reduced/eliminated. After the pour and finish, a project moves forward without needing to set aside time for repairs such as punctured vapor barriers, cracking due to mat misplacement, or plastic cracking.
Cut Your Environmental Impact
Materials reduced.
Less manufactured materials are needed. For example the amount of large, heavy metal mats is reduced, meaning less industrial waste and transportation pollution.

Additional Features & Benefits for
Fiberlite Reinforcement Fibers
• Fiberlite added to concrete chemically locks in the fresh concrete matrix, controlling plastic shrinkage.
• Fiberlite provides secondary reinforcement which helps eliminate crack formation that causes permanent weakening of the resultant concrete.
• Significantly different than fibrillated products which don’t finish or pump well due to their stick-like structure
