GENESIS®
XF is an enhanced Fibrillated Concrete Fiber that features our patent
pending TUFFINISH™ TECHNOLOGY. This unique technology creates a
micro-reinforcement system that increases your overall fiber count,
while providing outstanding residual strength. GENESIS® XF Concrete
Fibers are specifically engineered for use in
concrete as secondary reinforcement and for the purpose of controlling
plastic and temperature shrinkage, as well as settlement cracking.
PRODUCT BENEFITS of Genesis® XF:
Replacement for traditional
concrete reinforcement
Inhibits and controls the
formation of cracking in concrete
Improves impact, shatter
and abrasion resistance
Reduces plastic shrinkage
and settlement cracking
Enhanced durability and
toughness
Reduces water migration and
damage from freeze/thaw
Improved green strength in Precast Products

Product Specification
Fibrillated Fiber Reinforcement
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
GENESIS® Fibrillated Concrete Fibers are
manufactured in compliance with ASTM C-1116 "Standard Specification for
Fiber-Reinforced Concrete and Shotcrete." GENESIS® Concrete Fibers
are specifically engineered for use in concrete as secondary
reinforcement and for the purpose of controlling plastic shrinkage and
settlement cracking.
PRODUCT BENEFITS:
When mixed according to
ASTM C94, fibers are always positioned properly
Reduces the formation of
plastic shrinkage cracking in concrete
Approved alternative
method to Welded Wire Fabric, when used as a secondary reinforcement
in plain concrete slabs on grade
Improves impact, shatter
and abrasion resistance
Enhanced durability and
toughness
Reduces permeability
