It 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 hairy-looking monofilament fiber that displaces evenly. It doesn’t clump or protrude, making it transparent in the mix. It doesn’t affect the final look, including when polished or dyed.

- You won’t spend hours tying metal and mesh reinforcement on the ground
- FiberLite is reinforcement in the mix
- The time spent returning to cracks for repair is dramatically reduced or eliminated
- After the pour and finish, a project moves forward without concern about punctured vapor barriers, cracking due to mat misplacement, or plastic cracking
- Fewer manufactured materials are needed
- Large, heavy metal mats are reduced, meaning less industrial waste and transportation pollution
Compression Tests of Concrete Cylinders
Isotropic reinforcement means fiber-reinforced concrete is stronger from top to bottom.

• Enhanced durability and flexural performance
• Provides secondary reinforcement with equal strength to WWM and light rebar
• Three-dimensional reinforcement to prohibit cracking
• Alkali resistant and non-corrosive
• Reduced placement costs
• High-impact resistance and wear resistance
• 4x macro fiber count
• Enhances performance and durability
• Provides isotropic reinforcement
• Eliminates most or all plastic shrinkage cracking
• Insoluble in water
