Concrete is one of the most important materials in modern construction, and for good reason. From infrastructure megaprojects to factory flooring and residential buildings, concrete is a reliable, cost-effective, and adaptable solution trusted by engineers, contractors, and material specifiers worldwide.
Steel Fiber Reinforced Concrete is a type of concrete that includes small steel fibers distributed throughout the mix.
In the construction industry, durability, cost-effectiveness, and performance are key priorities when it comes to concrete. One way to improve all three is by adding polypropylene fiber to concrete mixes. This small addition can make a big difference in strength, crack resistance, and long-term performance.
Mikem Polypropylene Fiber is an engineered synthetic fiber designed to reinforce concrete at the micro-level. When added to concrete mixtures, our fibers distribute evenly throughout the matrix, forming a three-dimensional reinforcement system. This significantly enhances the performance of concrete under freeze-thaw conditions.
Methylcellulose (MC), also known as methyl cellulose or food additive E461, is a cellulose ether derived from natural plant cellulose. It is produced by chemically modifying cellulose through an etherification process, introducing methyl groups into its molecular structure.
2021 will be a year of recovery for the construction chemicals industry. Amid the broader resurgence of the global chemical sector, the Asia-Pacific region will lead the way.
It is predicted that the cellulose ether market will record a CAGR of 2.9% in terms of value, from 2020 to reach USD 235 Billion by 2026, says Global Market Insights Inc.
Recently, the MelaColl team held an emergency meeting to address the skyrocketing cellulose ether raw materials and even out of stock and gave solutions to ease the urgent needs of customers.
Steel fiber reinforced concrete is a composite material with steel fiber as the reinforcing material and concrete as the matrix. Fiber reinforced concrete structure is widely used and develops rapidly. Because of the unique properties of concrete, it is widely used in highways.
