Fibre Reinforced Concrete
Strengthen Your Concrete With Fibres
Add strength to your concrete and enhance your construction projects and builds by adding fibres to reinforce your structures.
Enhance your concrete’s performance by adding fibres. Performance improvements include; increased strength, improved durability, control of shrinkage, reduced cracking and enhanced surface finish. In certain applications using steel fibres can help you partially or even completely eliminate the need for rebar or steel mesh in your project offering considerable time and cost savings.
CEMEX use a range of fibre technologies to enhance our ready-mix concretes including:
- Polypropylene Fibres
- Advanced Polypropylene Fibre
- Cellulose Fibres
- Steel Fibres
See Our Fibre Concrete Product Range.
Benefits
By adding polypropylene fibres to your mix you will enhance the concrete or screed mix and obtain the following additional features and benefits:

More About Concrete Fibre Types
Polypropylene fibre concrete
Polypropylene fibre concrete contains thousands of individual fibres which are evenly dispersed throughout the concrete during the mixing process, this creates a matrix-like structure that provides additional benefits to concrete such as long-term durability and toughness. Polypropylene fibre reinforced concrete can be used for domestic, agricultural and light commercial applications.
Cellulose Fibre concrete
Cellulose Fibres offer much the same benefits in terms of performance as polypropylene fibres, however they add additional advantages in terms of bio-renewability, ability to be recycled, biodegradability, non-hazardous nature, and reduced carbon footprint.
Advanced Polypropylene fibre concrete
Advanced Polypropylene Fibre Concrete is a pioneering combination of fine and coarse monofilament polypropylene fibres which takes concrete to a new level of performance. The introduction of these fibres result in increased toughness and ductility of hardened concrete. Advanced polypropylene fibre reinforced concrete can be used for Internal floors, external hardstandings and car parks, industrial floors, airports, bridges and other infrastructure projects.
Steel fibre concrete
Steel fibre concrete utilises steel fibres designed to provide ultimate performance under intense loading conditions. This fibre system provides superior resistance to cracking in hardened state concrete, as well as maximum resistance to damage from heavy impact. Steel fibre reinforced concrete can be used for industrial floors, concrete structures and external hardstandings.
Types Of Fibre Reinforcement
Health & Safety
Contact with concrete may cause irritation, dermatitis or severe alkali burns. There is serious risk of damage to the eyes. Wear suitable waterproof protective clothing, gloves and eye/face protection. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately with plenty of clean water and seek medical advice. After contact with skin, wash immediately with plenty of clean water. Keep out of reach of children. Contains Chromium (VI), may cause allergic reaction.
