ECA HE Steel Fiber is a type of steel wire filament with hooked ends. These steel fibers are specifically designed to be used in various concrete mixes to improve the mechanical properties and mitigate plastic shrinkage cracking. The fiber’s hooked ends provide enhanced bonding and interlocking within the concrete matrix.
ECA HE Steel Fiber complies with the requirements of ASTM A820, Type I and EN 14889-1.
ECA HE Steel Fiber is ideally designed for use in the following applications:
• Tunnel segments
• Foundation slabs
• Pre-cast concrete
• Industrial flooring
• Composite decks
• Pavements
• Shotcrete
• Slabs on piles
• Shear reinforcement in prestressed elements
• Enhanced ability to support heavier loads
• Strengthened resistance to bending forces
• Improved durability against fatigue and wear
• Achieves a fire rating of 1-2 hours
• Better protection against impacts and dynamic pressures
• Cost-effective benefits including thinner sections and faster construction
• Minimized occurrence of shrinkage cracks through comprehensive reinforcement distribution
