New concrete reinforcement options worth a look
Have you ever wondered if traditional steel mesh is actually becoming obsolete, or are we just watching another marketing trend replace old methods with synthetic fibers?

Just scrolling through various technical docs today, and honestly, nothing special, just another polymer additive site at https://mixfiber.com/armotec if anyone needs to check specs. Basically, it is just high performance polymer fiber mixed directly into concrete to increase flexural strength. The interface layout is a bit basic, but it works. They distribute hundreds of thousands of high strength fibers across the entire volume to absorb destruction energy. Also if you order three tons or more, they provide a calculation with a technical report for industrial slabs. Short version, you just have to check everything yourself and think with your own head.
