Fibre Concrete Reinforcement Solutions for Explosive Spalling Prevention

FCS Vertex micro polypropylene fibres can significantly reduce the occurrence of explosive spalling when high-strength concrete is exposed to high temperature fire conditions. By incorporating Vertex micro polypropylene fibres into your concrete, you can effectively mitigate the risk of explosive spalling and ensure the durability and safety of your concrete structures. 

As informed and experienced professionals, we understand the importance of the correct dimensions of polypropylene fibres to create the necessary mechanism of releasing vapour pressure within dense and high-strength concrete and, by choosing Vertex, effectively eliminate the risk of explosive spalling from occurring.

Why Choose FCS for Explosive Spalling Solutions?

Having worked on many tunnelling and building projects globally over many years we understand the importance not only of effective explosive spalling control but also the practical requirements of constructing with fibre reinforced concrete in terms of workability, effect on strength, and air content.

Our goal is to ensure maximum effectiveness in preventing explosive spalling from occurring while causing minimal change to the characteristics of your concrete during construction.

Our team will assist you to choose the best dosing system for your project, whether pre-weighed degradable bags to suit batch quantities or automated loss-in-weight dosing equipment to obtain the optimum results and maintain the highest standards of safety. Our expertise and commitment to excellence make us the ideal partner for your explosive spalling prevention needs.
