3 mono Description: It prevents the formation of cracks in the applied concrete, during the process of stiffening. It manifests binding properties among aggregates in the concrete mix so that the micro-cracks in the concrete are prevented to grow. It also provides cost advantage in the project budget by reducing the rebound amount of shotcrete applications in about 4%. According to standard EN , it is sufficient to use 600 g and 900 g per cubic meter. Packing Types: 600 g and 900 g water soluble bags 5 kg nylon bag Bigbag Mixer Pack Custom Made Packing Technical Advice: Our technical specialists are available for you to assist you in the correct use of Polyfibers Design Service: For all concrete floor design requirements please consult your contact person for Polyfibers Benefits: Crack control Reduction in plastic shrinkage cracks Alkali resistant Improves surface durability Gain tensile strength Easy to place in concrete mix Cost effective, no additional labor cost Prevents reinforcement from corrosion effect

5 fibril Description: Thanks to its fibrillar structure, it is in a form to surround the aggregate. Thus, in addition to the effects against crack formation, it also has strength-enhancing properties. It is not just used to prevent cracks in floor applications that will carry heavy loads, but also supports the reinforcement with strength. Polypropylene being a raw material is effective on diffusion in concrete. Fibers are coated with surfactant to improve dispersion and bond. Packing Types: 600 g and 900 g water soluble bags 5 kg nylon bag Bigbag Mixer Pack Custom Made Packing Technical Advice: Our technical specialists are available for you to assist you in the correct use of Polyfibers Design Service: For all concrete floor design requirements please consult your contact person for Polyfibers Benefits: Crack control Reduction in plastic shrinkage cracks Alkali resistant Improves surface durability Gain tensile strength Easy to place in concrete mix Cost effective, no additional labor cost Prevents reinforcement from corrosion effect

7 Description: PolySteel fibers can be used safely for the renovation of industrial floors of all types. It helps the coating applied to the concrete to be impact resistant and long life with the minimum maintenance cost. When used in conjunction with Mono type microfibres, it allows you to achieve a perfect surface that is equipped structurally. Packing Types: 20 kg Kraft Bags Areas of Usage: Concrete Screed Parking Areas Coating Concrete Shotcrete Applications Tunnel/Dam Projects Industrial Flooring Applications Technical Advice: Our technical specialists are available for you to assist you in the correct use of Polyfibers Design Service: For all concrete floor design requirements please consult your contact person for Polyfibers Benefits: Increased shock resistance 3D distribution Increase in joint distance No mesh reinforcement required Installation direct from the truck mixer Lower installation cost Increase in work capacity

9 Description: Manufactured with high strength and flexible pure polymers, they are structural synthetic fibers and designed as an alternative to steel wires. The biggest advantage of these synthetic fibers over steel wires and wire mesh reinforcement is that there is no risk of corrosion. Because of its specific gravity of 0.91 g / cm 3, high number of fibers can be obtained in lower weights. Thus, higher and three-dimensional reinforcement of concrete mix is achieved. Thanks to the special form of our product Polymacro, the tensile strength of concrete becomes higher, compared when its counterpart macrofibers are used. Available Lenghts Polymacro PM mm length Polymacro PM mm length Packing Types: 6 kg PE bag Technical Advice: Our technical specialists are available for you to assist you in the correct use of Polyfibers Design Service: For all concrete floor design requirements please consult your contact person for Polyfibers Benefits: Provides 3 dimensional reinforcement Substitude steel wire mesh Increase durability of light structural concrete Has optimum dispersion into the concrete mixture Does not alter the workability of light structural concrete Easy and safe to insert into light structural concrete Cost effective and easy to use No corrosion risk Easy to handle
