Specialty Fibers
MOBILE-MESH™
FORTA® MOBILE-MESH™ is an alkali resistant glass fiber developed for modification and reinforcement of cement based applications to ensure increased long-term performance and durability. MOBILE-MESH will not rot or corrode and is unaffected by UV radiation, making it suitable for use with minimal cover.
The density of FORTA MOBILE-MESH, which matches that of concrete, allows for exceptional dispersion by eliminating floating, sinking, clumping, and air entrapment, therefore, providing a seamless concrete application. FORTA MOBILE-MESH rovings have a high Elastic Modulus and Tensile Strength, making it ideal as an effective reinforcement for any glass reinforced concrete project.
FORTA MOBILE-MESH can be easily added into a volumetric ready mix concrete truck with the help of a FORTA® patented fiber dispenser. This process requires no extensive equipment changes – making it a simple and easy investment to add long-term value to your concrete.
FORTA PE-2®
FORTA PE-2® fiber is an easy to apply, fully oriented, 100% virgin copolymer polyethylene monofilament fibrous reinforcement.
This engineered fiber provides a mini-reinforcing system forming a more cohesive, inner-supported mix intended to reduce the formation of shrinkage cracks prior to initial set, as well as provide a rapid burn-out characteristic in the hardened mass after initial set. FORTA PE-2 fiber is non-corrosive and non-magnetic.
FORTA PE-2 fiber is typically used in refractory castable concrete applications to provide early cohesiveness and green strength, and to provide uniform vapor-release/burn-out channels within the mass during firing. Requires no mix design or placement changes.
