WHY CHOOSE STEEL FIBREREINFORCEMENT ?
You think it, you build it.
Steel fibre reinforcement offers constructors an efficient and cost-effective alternative for mesh or rebar reinforcement. Working with fibre reinforcement not only means using less steel, but it also takes less man hours to put in place. By skipping the labour-intensive process of mesh placing, you can save a significant chunk of your budget and use your time and resources for what really counts: building your project. Steel fibre reinforcement also offers ultimate flexibility. Even complex shapes and structures that you could not imagine realizing with other types of reinforcement are now possible.
WHY CHOOSE BEKAERT ?
Peace of mind included
Flexibility and cost-efficiency should not compromisequality. With Dramix steel fibres, you can restassured that your project is durable and crack resistant. On top of that, Bekaert offers you global support and design services. So you can offer your customers the reliability they expect from you. Working with Bekaert, you will benefit from the many years of fruitful collaboration between Bekaert and other industry leaders.

Money-saving and very fast to work with. Those are two characteristics of Dramix steel fibre concrete that really have made a difference to us.

3. Easy mixing
Dramix steel fibres are glued into bundles, which enables fibres with a high l/d ratio (i.e. long, thin fibres) to be mixed easily and uniformly throughout the concrete.
4. Low dosages thanks to high length-diameter ratio
Bekaert offers a wide variety of fibres, each with their unique characteristics (long, short, thick or thin) and matching benefits. In order to create the most optimal network for your concrete, you can choose your specific fibre that best fits your needs. In other words, you are in charge for optimizing your crack control.
1. Optimal pull-out resistance
Dramix steel fibres have hooked ends which enable the best anchorage and controlled pull-out.
2. High tensile strength
Dramix fibres are made from prime quality hard-drawn steel wire to ensure high tensile strength and close tolerances.

Easy Dosing
Easy Dosing fibres are automatically dosed, easily mixable, and therefore even more cost-effective. Easy Dosing fibres are prepacked in an endless belt of water-soluble paper bags, each containing 250 grams of fibres. They are prepared at the concrete plant by means of Bekaerts dedicated Dramix Booster dosing engine.
Hi Performance
Hi Performance fibres provide the highest performance and crack resistance. They deliver the most optimal ductility for structural applications, in situ, precast or sprayed.
Green Durability
green Durability fibres offer the highest durability and are therefore the product series of choice for creating long lasting solutions and rust-free, aesthetical surfaces. These galvanized fibres have been specifically engineered to enhance performance even in chrome-free cements.
A fibre solution for every need

Easy Mixing
Easy Mixing fibres have been engineered to offer fast and perfect mixing, improved pumpability and optimized fibre distribution. Even complex forms and structures are possible.
Extreme Network
Extreme Network fibres have been specifically engineered for extremely efficient crack control. They are made of small-diameter wire, resulting in a very dense wire network in every cubic metre concrete. Extreme Network fibres have a standard low dosage, which makes them very cost-effective.
