Steel Reinforcing Fibers

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

OMEGA™ is a low carbon, cut sheet, steel and fiber. This industry proven fiber provides a reinforcement system that addresses restrained shrinkage in concrete slabs. The OMEGA™ fibers are uniformly distributed throughout the concrete to assure the owner, contractor and engineer of excellent crack control.



 

 

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS

  • Shotcrete and Pool Construction
  • Slab on Grade
  • Sprayed and Plastered Cement
  • Precast Units and Slip Form Curbs
  • Decorative Concrete
 

MIXING - PLACING - FINISHING

  • MIXING: OMEGA™ can easily be introduced into the concrete during, or after the batching process. In some instances, steel can be introduced before the concrete is batched. For appropriate use, minimum mixing should conform to ASTM C-94, standard specification for ready-mix concrete.
  • PLACING: OMEGA fibers can be pumped and placed using conventional equipment. Hand screeds can be used, but vibratory and laser screeds are recommended to provide added compaction and bury surface fibers.
  • FINISHING: Normal finishing equipment and techniques can be used when finishing OMEGA fibers. Troweling blades should be kept at a flat angle for as long as possible to insure a fiber free surface.

Steel & Polypropylene Reinforcing Fibers

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:

OMEGA™ Ώ MESH is a blend of low carbon, cut sheet, steel and polypropylene fibers. The combination of the two industry proven fiber types provides a reinforcement system that addresses plastic shrinkage as well as restrained shrinkage in concrete slabs. Blending both fiber types into one, pre-measured, degradable bag offers an engineered, cost effective alternative to welded wire fabric. The OMEGA™ Ώ MESH fibers are uniformly distributed throughout the concrete to assure the owner, contractor and engineer of excellent crack control.

MIXING - PLACING - FINISHING

  • MIXING: OMEGA™ Ώ MESH can easily be introduced into the concrete during, or after the batching process. In some instances, steel and PP blends can be introduced before the concrete is batched. For appropriate use in degradation of the bag, minimum mixing should conform to ASTM C-94, standard specification for ready-mix concrete.
  • PLACING: OMEGA™ Ώ MESH  fibers can be pumped and placed using conventional equipment. Hand screeds can be used, but vibratory and laser screeds are recommended to provide added compaction and bury surface fibers.
  • FINISHING: Normal finishing equipment and techniques can be used when finishing OMEGA™ Ώ MESH  fibers. Troweling blades should be kept at a flat angle for as long as possible to insure a fiber free surface.
