Specialty Fibers
FORTA® STUCCO-BOND® is an easy to apply and finish, fully oriented, 100% virgin homopolymer polypropylene monofilament fibrous reinforcement. This engineered fiber provides a mini-reinforcing system forming a more cohesive, inner-supported mix that functions as a plastic shrinkage reinforcement intended to reduce the formation of shrinkage cracks prior to initial set. FORTA® STUCCO-BOND® is non-corrosive, non-magnetic, chemically inert, and 100% Alkali Proof!
FORTA® CAST-MASTER® is an easy to place, fully oriented, 100% virgin homopolymer polypropylene fibrous reinforcement. FORTA® CAST-MASTER® is a fiber specifically designed and engineered by FORTA® for the precast industry. It is used to reduce plastic and hardened concrete shrinkage, improve impact strength, reduce handling stresses, and increase fatigue resistance and concrete toughness. This extra heavy-duty fiber offers optimum bonding power, maximum long-term durability, sharper edge control and quick and uniform fiber distribution by incorporating a unique twisted-bundle fiber technology with a fibrillated pattern and long length fiber option. Non-corrosive, chemically inert, and 100% Alkali Proof!
FORTA® ECONO-CAST® is an easy to place, fully oriented, 100% virgin homopolymer polypropylene fibrous reinforcement. FORTA® ECONO-CAST® is a fiber specifically designed and engineered by FORTA® for the precast industry. It is used to reduce plastic and hardened concrete shrinkage, improve impact strength, reduce handling stresses, and increase fatigue resistance and concrete toughness. This medium-duty fiber offers superior bonding power, long-term durability, and sharper edge control by incorporating a fibrillated pattern and long length fiber option. Non-corrosive, chemically inert, and 100% Alkali Proof!
FORTA® GREEN-NET® is made from 100% recycled polypropylene. It is an easy to finish polypropylene fibrous reinforcement in a collated fibrillated (network) form. FORTA® GREEN-NET® is used to reduce plastic and hardened concrete shrinkage, settlement cracking, improved impact strength, increase fatigue resistance and concrete toughness. This heavy-duty fiber offers long-term durability, and true secondary/temperature control by incorporating a fibrillated pattern and long length option. Non-corrosive, non-magnetic, 100% alkali proof, and 100% recycled.
FORTA ULTRA-LITE® is a specially treated, 100% virgin homopolymer polypropylene monofilament fiber that provides unique suspension characteristics in a variety of cementitious mixes and applications. Due to the special patent-pending fiber treatment, FORTA ULTRA-LITE® offers valuable suspension capabilities to gasified or aerated cementitious products, acting as a stabilizing and cohesive agent in very flowable lightweight mixes. In addition, FORTA ULTRA-LITE® contributes considerable reductions of plastic and settlement shrinkage that are common to these mixes and applications.
FORTA® PE-2® fiber is an easy to apply, fully oriented, 100% virgin copolymer polyethylene monofilament fibrous reinforcement. This engineered fiber provides a mini-reinforcing system forming a more cohesive, inner-supported mix intended to reduce the formation of shrinkage cracks prior to initial set, as well as provide a rapid burn-out characteristic in the hardened mass after initial set as well as provide a rapid burn-out characteristic in the hardened mass after initial set. FORTA® PE-2® fiber is non-corrosive and non-magnetic.
FORTA-FERRO®
FORTA-FERRO® - "Strong as Steel"
FORTA-FERRO® represents the next generation of structural synthetic fiber reinforcements. A blend of high-strength, copolymer monofilaments and fibrillated polypropylene bundles, this fiber offers the maximum in toughness and post-crack behavior, and allows for a much higher replacement level of conventional steel reinforcement.
