Blended High Strength Macro Synthetic Fibres and Monofilament Fibres
Published on 31 July 2023
In November 2022, Twintec in collaboration with Austmix (concrete supplier in Brisbane) undertook a trial of the AFT® TwinMesh in a footpath for Redland City Council, with positive results. The mixing process was straightforward, with the bags dissolving and fibres dispersing almost immediately, with no negative effect on the concrete mix and provided a very uniform FRC mix.
The finish achieved on the surface using the AFT® TwinMesh was outstanding and testament to the testing conducted by Twintec of various diameter synthetic fibres to identify the optimum size for performance and workability, which can produce very different results.
Steve from Austmix commented that “It’s really easy working with Twintec, they provide a great service and have easy to use products”. The dissolvable bags on both the AFT® TwinMesh and AFT®+10/60HE steel fibres make batching simple.
Luke Hando of Hando Road & Civil stated that he was “Really happy with the TwinMesh fibre dispersal, the workability and ease of placing and finishing, as the fibres had no effect on the concrete”.
