Barchips
Barchip synthetic fiber concrete reinforcement is a high performance polypropylene fiber used as a structural reinforcement in concrete and shotcrete.
The Barchips reinforcement system works by distributing hundreds of thousands of fibers with high tensile strength throughout the concrete mix. They strengthen every part of the concrete structure, front to back and top to bottom, without leaving a vulnerable unreinforced concrete cover.
