BarChip synthetic fibre concrete reinforcement is a high performance
polypropylene fibre used as structural reinforcement in concrete
and shotcrete.
The BarChip reinforcement system works by distributing hundreds of thousands
of high tensile strength fibres throughout the entire concrete mix.
They reinforce every part of the concrete structure, front to back
and top to bottom, leaving no vulnerable unreinforced concrete cover.
