Decorative Concrete

Also referred to as architectural concrete, this is a type of concrete that is permanently exposed to view. It requires special care in the selection of concrete materials, forming, placing, and finishing to obtain the desired aesthetic appearance.

Uniformity and durability are key requirements of decorative concrete. Nycon synthetic fibers modify concrete’s macro-micro cracking and distribute internal stresses. Any product from stepping stones to birdbaths and precast picnic tables will profit from using Nycon synthetic fibers.

The following Nycon fibers are suitable for decorative concrete applications:

NyconRC:  Nycon's top-of-the-line, nylon fiber for excellent secondary reinforcement in concrete applications. Because of the exceptional bond between matrix and fiber, they yield the best results for concrete durability and have the highest UL fire-resistance rating of all synthetic fibers.

MultiMesh:  An economical nylon fiber solution for ready-mix concrete that provides excellent secondary reinforcing results for plastic-shrinkage crack control and increased impact resistance.

ProConM:  A cost-effective polypropylene monofilament fiber for ready-mix concrete to manage plastic-shrinkage cracking.

AR Glass Fibers: Nycon AR (alkali-resistant) glass fibers enhance the lifespan and serviceability of concrete flatwork, precast products, architectural/decorative surfaces, and ornamental cementitious products.
