ALKALI RESISTANT GLASS FIBER WITH HIGH ZIRCONIUM CONTENT

AR Glassfibres add strength and flexibility to the concrete resulting in a strong yet light-weight end product. The alkali resistance of Glassfibre depends principally on the content of Zirconia (ZrO2) in the glass.

Benefits:

• The AR glass is itself alkali resistant, It does not depend on any coating
• Fine individual filaments: a very large number of fibers are released when mixed in the concrete and the filament does not protrude from the surface and be invisible when the concrete surface weathers.
• Have a high tensile strength to withstand stresses during shrinkage.
• Have a high modulus of elasticity to absorb shrinkage stresses before the concrete cracks.
• Have a superior bond(mineral/mineral interface) with the concrete.
• Present no health hazards.
• AR glass fibers reinforce both plastic and hardened concrete.
