Basalt Rebar 6mm
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
DESCRIPTION

SureCrete's Xtreme Fibers and Rods are essential tools for any serious fabricator. They will allow for much longer spans of casted concrete, as well as forming your precast pieces into a wider wider variety of shapes and sizes. This can allow for seamless kitchen countertops or even full width and height shower wall panels. 

Basalt fiber is a material made from extremely fine fibers of basalt, which is composed of the minerals plagioclase, pyroxene, and olivine. It is similar to carbon fiber and fiberglass, having better physicomechanical properties than fiberglass, but being significantly cheaper than carbon fiber. What this means for you as a weekend warrior casting his very own 14′ long kitchen countertop? Lighter casted concrete pieces with no seams!

For those professional fabricators looking to create multiple precast pieces, the combination of Basalt Rods and AR Glass Fibers can help to make complicated install jobs a breeze by keeping pieces structurally sound while keeping cast concrete weight down to a minimum.

Basalt Structural Rods and Fibers are extruded from naturally mined igneous rock that has been melted and wound into useful rods or fibers for reinforcing concrete. The superiority to traditional reinforcement is astounding:

• Improved tensile strength
• Thermal stability
• Non-reactive with air or water
• Non-corrosive
• Alkali resistant
• Advanced heat and sound insulating properties
• Non-combustible
• Explosion Proof
• Non-toxic
• Chemical resistant


HOW DO YOU USE SURECRETE XS RODS AND FIBERS?

XS Rods and Fibers are incredibly simple to implement in your cast concrete pieces:

1.) If using either the Basalt Fibers, AR Glass Fibers or Structural Fibers, simply sprinkle them in intermittently while mixing cast materials in bucket to your desired level.

2.) If utilizing the Basalt Rebar materials, strategically place the rebar pieces in the backside of the mold, making sure not to vibrate the mold to vigorously so that the rebar does not sink to the surface of the mold and be exposed upon de-mold.
