Loose steel fiber for industrial flooring ZT50/50BL
Loose Steel Fiber for Industrial Flooring is a macro steel fiber reinforcement material used to enhance the performance of heavy-duty concrete floors, warehouse slabs, logistics centers, and industrial pavements. Unlike glued bundled fibers, loose steel fibers are supplied in separated form, allowing direct dispersion into concrete mixes for structural reinforcement.
When properly mixed, the fibers distribute throughout the concrete matrix and form a 3D reinforcement network, significantly improving crack resistance, toughness, and load-bearing capacity of industrial flooring systems.
What Is Loose Steel Fiber?
Loose steel fiber is a type of discrete steel reinforcement made from cold-drawn steel wire formed into hooked or deformed shapes, supplied without adhesive bundling.
It is commonly used in:
Industrial concrete flooring
Heavy-duty pavements
Warehouse slabs
Precast concrete elements
Infrastructure construction
Loose fibers rely on proper mixing procedures to ensure uniform distribution within the concrete.
Recommended Dosage for Industrial Flooring
Typical dosage varies by design requirements:
Light-duty flooring: 15–20 kg/m³
Standard industrial flooring: 20–30 kg/m³
Heavy-duty flooring: 30–40 kg/m³
Final dosage should follow engineering design standards and load requirements.
Steel fibers today offer the designer and constructer state-of-the-art technology for use as reinforcement in many concrete elements and applications. There are many varieties of styles, shapes and sizes of steel fibers in the market today.
Introducing steel fibers into the concrete mix provide new mechanical properties. We now have a new material, with improved mechanical properties that can enhance structural applications. The fibers can be included as a substitute for the common steel reinforcement, or as a complement, or for a better performance for strain that the common reinforcement can’t absorb.Micro steel fiber as a kind of admixtures or aggregate of concrete,which is also named brass coated micro steel fiber or micro steel rebars widely used for concrete reinforcement and concrete slabs.
In mechanical and performance terms, by adding steel fibers to the concrete mix you can:
* Increase and get a stable of tensile strength under flexion load, which produces a ductile behavior* Increase impact resistance* Increase cyclic loads of resistance (fatigue effect)* Increase prevention of the plastic shrinkage crack* Increase the concrete performance against thermal variations* Get minor permeability
