Fibermesh Fibres for Passive Fire Protection


Novocon
Our Novocon® range of steel fibres for underground applications comprise of cold drawn, high tensile strength wire fibres which offer an economical, high performance solution for precast, sprayed concrete and cast in-place tunnel linings.

Novocon® steel fibres are engineered to provide uniform distribution throughout the concrete, without the need for any special gluing, and provide exceptional technical performance while maintaining excellent mixing and finishing attributes.

Our Novocon® range includes Novocon FE - flat-end fibres and Novocon HE Hooked-end fibres for high performance applications. The range is completed by our Xorex® undulating fibre which provides an extremely cost effective solution for slope stabilisation and other less demanding applications.

Enduro
As a market leader in fibre reinforcement, Propex Concrete Systems is at the forefront of fibre technology and innovation and have pioneered the development of high performance synthetic macro fibres, which now offer a serious alternative to steel fibre reinforcement.
Based on years of experience in the sprayed concrete field and research by Propex Concrete Systems engineers, ENDURO® builds upon the heritage and technology of our industry proven HPP (High Performance Polymer) product. ENDURO® is specifically designed to address the ever-increasing demands of modern day shotcrete application techniques and provides a quantum leap forward in shotcrete performance, as measured by energy absorption in the Round Determinate Panel and Efnarc test procedures.

Fibermesh
Our Fibermesh® range of polypropylene fibres provide a unique internal support system in concrete that substantially reduces plastic settlement and shrinkage cracks by increasing the tensile strain capacity of plastic concrete. The fibres also improve the cohesive properties of the concrete resulting in reduced fallout and rebound.


Our Fibermesh 150, fine monofilament fibre is recognised to provide resistance to explosive spalling with minimal effect on the workability of concrete. Verification of the effect on explosive spalling has been obtained from the internationally recognised VSH Hagerbach underground test facility in Switzerland. Fibermesh 150 has been specified and used on several major international underground road and rail tunnel projects for the prevention of explosive spalling. These include Dublin Port Tunnel (Eire) and CTRL (London,UK).

Novomesh
Our ability to offer a complete range of fibres has led to the development of Novomesh®, an innovative system of reinforcement combining the multiple benefits of Fibermesh®, Novocon®, HPP and ENDURO® fibres, which is designed to offer fibre solutions for the most challenging concrete performance projects.
