About Industrial Alkali Resistant Chopped Strands
Alkali Resistant Chopped Strands is a kind of ECS fiberglass. It is of good tenacity, crack resistance, good tensile strength. When it is used in concrete, it can prevent the concrete from shrinking and breaking. Our glass fiber wouldn't fly around when broken. It is easy and convenient for construction. Function of Chopped Strand glass fiber: Improve the reinforcement, toughness, and crack resistance.
Applying field: Concrete, Cement products, Gypsum products, Asphalt road, Anti-crack mortar, etc.
Properties:
- High tensile strength, low elongation
- High elastic coefficient, better rigidity
- Huge impact resistance
- Low water absorption
- Not easy combustion
- Good workability
- Dimension stability, good heat resistance
Unmatched Alkali Resistance for Concrete DurabilityOur chopped strands are formulated using alkali-resistant (AR) glass fibers with over 16% zirconia, granting excellent chemical resilience even in highly alkaline cement environments. These properties help protect concrete and GRC from erosion and extend the structures lifespan.
Customized Versatility for Industrial ApplicationsAvailable in lengths of 6mm, 12mm, and 24mm, our chopped strands fit various reinforcement needs, from lightweight mortars to precast concrete. Their silane coating ensures strong bonding with Portland cement, enhancing structural integrity in diverse applications.
FAQs of Industrial Alkali Resistant Chopped Strands:
Q: How are alkali resistant chopped strands used in concrete reinforcement?
A: These chopped strands are mixed into concrete, mortar, or plaster during batching, dispersing uniformly to minimize cracking, improve tensile strength, and enhance durability against alkali attack in industrial construction.
Q: What makes these chopped strands suitable for high-alkali environments?
A: Their elevated zirconia content (>16%) and AR glass composition provide exceptional resistance to alkali degradation, making them ideal for applications involving Portland cement and aggressive construction environments.
Q: When should I use different fiber length options (6mm, 12mm, 24mm)?
A: Shorter fibers (6mm) are suitable for thin applications and better dispersion, while longer strands (12mm, 24mm) offer enhanced crack resistance and strength in thicker concrete sections or GRC panels.
Q: Where should these strands be stored to maintain quality?
A: Store the chopped strands in a dry, shaded, and well-ventilated area to prevent moisture absorption and preserve their high-performance characteristics.
Q: What is the standard packaging and typical bag size for supply?
A: The product is supplied in 25 kg bags, designed for convenient handling, bulk storage, and efficient transport to project sites or factories across India.
Q: How does the silane coating benefit cement compatibility and performance?
A: The silane coating significantly improves adhesion between the glass fibers and the cementitious matrix, resulting in improved mechanical bonding, reduced porosity, and increased composite strength.
Q: What are the advantages of using AR chopped strands in GRC (Glassfiber Reinforced Concrete)?
A: Incorporating AR chopped strands enhances GRC products impact resistance, decreases shrinkage cracking, and ensures excellent performance and durability, even under sustained high temperatures up to 800C.
