Benefits/ Property to
concrete / Mortar

Fibermesh

01

Reduces the occurrence of

plastic shrinkage, plastic
settlement and temperature
cracks.
Restricts crack widths and
lengths

Yes. By over 90% as

compared to plain
concrete.

02

03

Increases impact resistant

04

Increases abrasion resistance

05
06

Reduces permeability
Improves cohesiveness,
homogeneity of mix and
therefore reduces unequal
bleeding, honeycombing and
segregation and thereby
improves quality of concrete
substantially.
Ensures smoother, flatter and
more even concrete floors.

07
08

Reduces corrosion of
reinforced concrete even in
saline environment.

09

Rustproof, Alkali proof and high

acid resistance.
Easy to use, gets uniformly
distributed and requires no
extra effort for placement
Reduces future maintenance
costs.
Reduces rebound wastages
during plastering and guniting
and saves material and
increases productivity.
Saves Time and Money
