Trefibre

Trefibre is a high-performance steel fiber, produced by certain manufacturers such as 3B-Fibreglass. This product consists of thin, continuous fibers made from a range of steel alloys with added surface treatments to enhance bondability. The fibers average about 12 millimeters in length, making them suitable for use in a variety of reinforcement applications.

Trefibre is designed to be used in conjunction with concrete to create structures that exhibit enhanced tensile strength and resistance to cracking. When embedded within a concrete matrix, the steel fibers work to distribute stress evenly across the material, thereby reducing the likelihood of catastrophic failure. This additive process is often used to improve structural integrity in building construction, bridge repair and rehabilitation, and in the production of high-performance concrete.

The production process of Trefibre includes high-speed wire drawing and cutting techniques, which guarantee the production of long fibers with consistent properties. Fibers are cut to specific lengths to create batches that are suitable for particular applications. To facilitate bonding with cement, the cut fibers are coated with specific chemistry for improved utilization.

Upon embarking on projects that utilize Trefibre, professionals need to be aware of proper handling, mixing, and ratio management to ensure a consistent level of fiber distribution and optimal added performance. Keeping the design factors of fiber dosage, free water quantities, fiber dispersants and pastes in order, assure the required amounts of the required mechanical strength will be realized and avert weakened properties in materials while processing for the most skilled trade solutions.
