ADFIL – REINVENTING REINFORCED CONCRETE
Adfil has over three decades of experience in the development and application of synthetic fibre concrete reinforcement.
Serving the construction industry in over 60 countries, Adfil’s high-performance fibres are used in a wide range of applications including concrete floors and paving, tunneling, precast concrete, marine and coastal, agricultural, energy production and waste recycling. With Adfil, you don’t have to buy, store, place or fix steel mesh.
Your fibre reinforcement arrives already in your concrete and the concrete is placed directly where you need it.
Adfil is also less costly than other applications; the cost of steel mesh is higher than the required fibres dosage. There’s also no need to hire concrete pumps to place the concrete over steel mesh and reduced labour is required as there is no steel to place and fix.
Adfil’s macro synthetic fibre, Durus EasyFinish is amongst the best performing fibres with one of the lowest dosages in the market. With Adfil’s free PI insured design service, contractors can save time and money by replacing steel mesh reinforcement with fibres. A recent Environmental Product Declaration has shown that an embedded carbon saving of up to 93% can be achieved when using Adfil fibres instead of mesh. Adfil’s range of micro synthetic fibres are ideal for plastic shrinkage control, improved impact and abrasion resistance, as well as passive fire protection in concrete, encompassing high-performance monofilament and fibrillated products.
