Why Stainless Steel Fibres?

Unlike carbon steel, stainless steel maintains its passive protective film even in chloride rich environments, preventing rust, cracking, and spalling. This translates to service life exceeding 100 years, even under aggressive exposure conditions.

Factors Affecting Dosage Selection

Performance Impact by Dosage

Increasing steel fiber dosage typically provides the following improvements:

Standard Dosage Ranges

Application Type Dosage Range (kg/m³) Volume Fraction (%)
Industrial Floors 20–40 0.25–0.5
Structural Elements 40–60 0.5–0.75
Shotcrete Applications 30–50 0.38–0.64
Precast Elements 25–60 0.32–0.75
High Performance Applications 60–100 0.75–1.25

Mixing Considerations

Increasing steel fiber dosage typically provides the following improvements:

How are fibres dosed?

Add directly into mixers or via automated systems.

They reduce secondary reinforcement and control cracking; structural reinforcement depends on design codes.
