Maccaferri has been producing WIRAND® steel fibres for more than 25 years and we are pleased to introduce a new range into the UK. WIRAND® steel fibres are used for various specialist applications that benefit improvements made to conventional concrete mixes:

improved tensile strength
significant improvement to impact resistance
enhanced fire protection properties
reduced shrinkage cracking
improved freeze / thaw durability

These benefits are particularly useful for the following applications, where Maccaferri have an ongoing research and development program to ensure the best products and technical support are available:

Fibre reinforced concrete floors
Fibre reinforced sprayed concrete
Fibre reinforced precast concrete

To support the use of WIRAND® steel fibres Maccaferri also manufacture a range of dosage machines to ensure accurate quantities of fibres are added.

Maccaferri also supply a comprehensive range of alternative steel fibres and composite fibres for reinforcing concrete.
