ECOCRETE™ Glued Steel Fiber

Row-bonded, water-soluble glued steel fibers for fast dosing, clean dispersion and high toughness.

What is Glued Steel Fiber?

Glued Steel Fiber (also called “row-bonded steel fiber”) uses a high-strength, low-carbon steel wire base. Fibers are glued in strips/rows for easy handling and dosing; once inside the mixer, water dissolves the glue so fibers spread into a dense 3D network. Compared with loose bulk fibers, glued fibers feed cleaner, clump less, and disperse faster—ideal for high-efficiency slabs and heavy-duty structures.

ECOCRETE™ Glued Steel Fiber is cold-drawn high-tensile wire cut to length and bonded into rows with a water-soluble glue. During mixing, the glue dissolves and the fibers release rapidly, achieving uniform dispersion without balling. The result is tighter crack control and superior post-crack load capacity for floors, pavements, precast and tunnels.

Key Benefits of Glued Steel Fiber

  • Fast, Clean Dosing — Row-bonded packs handle easily, feed quickly and minimize fiber fly-away; less mess at the batching station.
  • Reliable Dispersion — Water-soluble glue dissolves in mixing; fibers release and distribute uniformly, no balling when dosed correctly.
  • High Strength & Toughness — Cold-drawn wire, tensile >1100 MPa; raises residual strength, impact and fatigue resistance.
  • Anchorage Options — Fiber geometry can be matched to concrete grade and usage to improve pull-out resistance.
  • Efficient Replacement of Secondary Mesh — In many crack-control specs, glued steel fibers can reduce or replace secondary reinforcement (follow the engineer’s design).

Applications of Glued Steel Fiber

  1. Building & Precast: housing slabs, precast piles, frame nodes, roof waterproof layers, underground waterproof structures.
  2. Industrial Floors: cut-joint/jointless/seamless floors; pile-supported floors; garage leveling layers; composite deck slabs; raft foundations; plant roads/pavements.
  3. Pipes: centrifugal, vibration and extruded pipes; pump pipes; steel-lined steel-fiber pressure pipes.
  4. Highways & Bridges: box arches, continuous box girders, bridge decks and overlays; cold-region and airport pavements.
  5. Rail: prestressed mono-block & twin-block sleepers.
  6. Water & Hydropower: abrasion/erosion zones, gates/sluices, spillways, dam face slabs.
  7. Ports & Marine: steel pipe-pile anti-corrosion layers, quay facilities, subsea concrete.
  8. Other: heavy-duty factory/warehouse floors, silos, repair & strengthening works, manhole covers, trench grates, underground cable/pipe works.

How to Use & Recommended Dosage

  • General slabs / industrial floors: 20–40 kg/m³ (optimize for joint spacing, wheel loads and slab curling).
  • Heavy-duty pavements / bridge decks / precast: 30–60 kg/m³ depending on residual strength targets.
  • Shotcrete / repairs: 25–45 kg/m³ (verify pumpability with a trial panel).
  • UHPC / high-performance elements: 1.0–2.0% by volume (engineering design required).

Mixing sequence (cementitious): Aggregates → Glued Steel Fiber (dose the rows gradually) → cement → water + admixtures → mix to full dispersion (glue dissolves) → finish as usual.
Design note: Fibers do not replace primary reinforcement where required; follow the engineer’s design and local codes.

FAQs — Glued Steel Fiber

A: Glued rows dose faster and cleaner; the water-soluble glue dissolves in the mixer so fibers separate thoroughly, reducing clumping risk.

A: The glue is designed to not affect concrete strength once dissolved; adjust superplasticizer to maintain slump/flow if needed.

A: Choose by slab thickness, joint spacing and target residual strength. 30–35 mm for thinner toppings/repairs; 50–60 mm for industrial floors and bridge decks.

A: In many crack-control specs it can reduce or replace secondary mesh—subject to structural design. Primary load-bearing reinforcement must follow code.

A: 20 kg per carton/bag; 1.5–2.0 t per pallet; ≈24 t per 40′ HQ (12 pallets × 2 t). Lead time 5–10 days.
