GLUED
STEEL FIBER

Glued steel fibers are bundled together using water-soluble adhesive to support controlled introduction and dispersion during concrete mixing. Once mixed, the bundles separate into individual hooked-end fibers that become distributed throughout the concrete matrix as part of an engineered steel fiber reinforced concrete system.

01 / OVERVIEW
DESIGNED FOR CONTROLLED DISPERSION

Bundled for handling.
Separated for performance.

Individual steel fibers can be difficult to introduce uniformly when large quantities are added to concrete. Glued steel fiber addresses the handling stage by temporarily combining multiple fibers into organized bundles.

During mixing, the water-soluble bonding material breaks down and the fibers separate. The objective is to support consistent distribution of individual fibers throughout the concrete while reducing the risk of fiber clustering.

PRODUCT CHARACTERISTICS

Engineered around mixing,
distribution and anchorage.

Glued steel fiber combines temporary bundling with individual hooked-end fibers. Each feature serves a different stage of the concrete reinforcement process.

01 Bundled Configuration

Individual fibers are temporarily grouped together for handling and introduction.

02 Water-Soluble Adhesive

The bonding material is designed to separate during the concrete mixing process.

03 Hooked Ends

Deformed ends provide mechanical anchorage within the hardened concrete matrix.

04 Distributed Reinforcement

Separated fibers become dispersed throughout the concrete volume.

05 Multiple Configurations

Fiber geometry can vary according to product and project requirements.

06 SFRC Integration

Glued fibers operate as part of the complete reinforced concrete floor system.

HOW GLUED FIBER WORKS

From bundle
to distributed fiber.

The temporary bond keeps the fibers grouped before mixing. When the bundle enters the concrete mix, the water-soluble adhesive releases and the individual fibers separate progressively throughout the concrete.

01 Fibers supplied in organized bundles
02 Bundles introduced into the concrete mix
03 Water-soluble adhesive releases
04 Individual fibers separate progressively
05 Mixing distributes fibers through the concrete
06 Hooked ends engage after concrete hardens
HOOKED-END GEOMETRY

Anchorage at both ends
supports crack bridging.

Hooked-end geometry increases mechanical interaction between the fiber and surrounding concrete. When a crack intersects a fiber, the deformed ends can resist pull-out and contribute to force transfer across the crack.

01 Mechanical anchorage within concrete
02 Resistance to fiber pull-out
03 Crack bridging contribution
04 Post-cracking force transfer
05 Distributed reinforcement behavior
PRODUCT CONFIGURATION

Fiber geometry should
match the application.

Glued steel fibers are available in different geometries. Final product selection should respond to the engineered performance requirements of the concrete element or flooring system.

01 Fiber Length
02 Fiber Diameter
03 Aspect Ratio
04 Hook Geometry
05 Fiber Dosage
06 Concrete Mix Compatibility
MIXING & HANDLING

Good dispersion begins
before concrete placement.

Glued fibers are intended to support controlled introduction into concrete, but final distribution still depends on suitable batching, mixing sequence, concrete workability and site procedures.

01 Controlled Fiber Addition
02 Suitable Mixing Sequence
03 Concrete Workability
04 Progressive Bundle Separation
05 Uniform Fiber Distribution
06 Controlled Placement
FLOOR SYSTEM INTEGRATION

The fiber is one component
of the complete slab.

Glued steel fiber should be coordinated with the concrete mix, slab design, joint strategy, subgrade, operational loads and construction method. Product selection alone does not define final floor performance.

WHY GLUED FIBER

Designed to simplify
controlled fiber introduction.

The glued format primarily addresses handling and dispersion during concrete mixing. Its value should be considered together with fiber geometry and the overall SFRC design.

01 Organized Bundles

Temporary grouping simplifies handling before fibers enter the concrete mixer.

02 Progressive Dispersion

Water-soluble bonding supports separation during the mixing process.

03 Reduced Clustering Risk

Controlled introduction can help reduce localized fiber accumulation.

04 Hooked-End Anchorage

Fiber geometry supports mechanical interaction with hardened concrete.

05 Large-Volume Mixing

Bundled fibers can support practical dosing into concrete production workflows.

06 SFRC System Compatibility

Product can be integrated into engineered floor and concrete reinforcement strategies.

PRODUCT SELECTION

Select the fiber
around the concrete system.

Final fiber selection and dosage should be project-specific. Performance depends on the relationship between fiber characteristics, concrete, slab design and operational requirements.

01 Required Structural Performance
02 Concrete Mix Properties
03 Floor Loading
04 Slab Thickness
05 Joint Strategy
06 Mixing Equipment
07 Placement Method
08 Operational Environment
GLUED FIBER WORKFLOW

From product selection
to reinforced concrete.

Glued steel fiber becomes effective only when product selection, dosing, mixing and placement are integrated with the engineered concrete system.

01

Assess

Review structural and operational requirements.

02

Select

Define appropriate fiber configuration and dosage.

03

Dose

Introduce fiber bundles through a controlled process.

04

Disperse

Allow bundles to separate during concrete mixing.

05

Place

Execute reinforced concrete placement and flooring works.

06

Verify

Review concrete consistency and completed floor quality.
