1 BEKAERT Dramix Duo 100 Dramix Synthetic fibres 1 bag/m 3 concrete Lightly loaded floors Dramix THE CONSTRUCTIVE IDEA

2 Dramix Duo 100 T h e c o m p l e m e n t a r y d u o Dramix steel fibres Super performant Synthetic fibres prevent microcracks Dramix steel wire fibres for high tensile strength. Mechanical anchorage (hooks) at the ends for optimal pull-out resistance. Dramix fibres Synthetic fibres The fibres have been developed exclusively to act as reinforcement for concrete, during the first hours of the hardening process. Dramix glued together in bundles: is the only guarantee for a homogeneous distribution. allows the use of fibres with high l/d ratio. can easily be added at the batching plant or in the truck mixer. These super performant fibres belong to the highest l/d category and offer the best in terms of: crack control. energy absorption. ductility. l /d 45 l /d l /d STANDARD PREMIUM SUPER PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE PERFORMANCE To achieve the same reinforcement results, you need: Especially designed for lightly loaded floors Benefits: high surface area per kg. bind well. are inert. problem-free mixing. alkali-resistant Curing phase: Synthetic fibres are an efficient reinforcement during the curing phase WITHOUT As soon as fresh concrete begins to cure, micro cracks develop due to plastic and drying shrinkage. Later, these can lead to much larger cracks. WITH 25kg fibres l/d 45 category 10kg fibres l/d 80 category low dosage cost effective Ideal dosage: 1 bag/m 3 concrete Synthetic fibres absorb the tension caused by plastic shrinkage and significantly reduce the occurence of micro cracks. A D V A N T A G E S 1. First-class reinforcement due to the complementary duo Synthetic fibres for the plastic shrinkage phase, Dramix steel fibres for a tough and durable concrete. 2. Excellent value for money. 3. Faster installation compared with time consuming mesh reinforcement. 4. Minimises risk of reflective cracking when used as a base for ceramic tiles, glass grain, epoxy coatings, parquet floor

6 Applications Dramix Duo 100 Hospitals Commercial offices Banks Garden centre Schools Instructions for use: Quality Addresses Dramix Duo 100 will be added at the batching plants. The normal mixing time is sufficient to provide a homogeneous concrete mix. Dramix Duo 100 can be pumped. No balling due to the glued fibres. Placing: When finishing steel fibre concrete, care should be taken to ensure that the surface remains fibre free!
