Precast Concrete

Over the years, precasters have developed innovative applications that perform better at lower costs. The myriad shapes, weights, and finishes that are possible with precast, along with their flexibility and affordability, make them attractive for barriers, tanks, vaults, retaining walls and panels, architectural and ornamental shapes.

The following Nycon fibers are suitable for precast concrete applications:

NyconSF:  Either drawn-wire or slit-sheet steel, NyconSF fibers meet the requirements of ASTM A820 for use as secondary reinforcement and are an effective enhancement of flexural strength.

NyconB:  A combination of Nycon's steel and synthetic fibers wherein the synthetic fibers strengthen the bond between of the steel fibers in the mortar matrix to increase the effectiveness of the steel fibers.

NyconXL: High-dosage synthetic fibers for secondary reinforcement that enhance the structural integrity of concrete and shotcrete. They help reduce the potential of catastrophic failure and are ideal for impact and seismic-reistant applications.

ConTrolPCF:  Polypropylene fibrillated fibers engineered for quality secondary reinforcement in all precast applications.

ConTrolPCM:  A polypropylene monofilament fiber for secondary reinforcement that controls shrinkage-cracking in precast products.

ConTrolPC+:  Nycon's best secondary reinforcing fiber solution to satisfy the demanding needs of the precast manufacturer.

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.
