FIBER REINFORCED CONCRETE SOLUTIONS

The Euclid Chemical Company provides synthetic micro and macro fibers and steel fibers for
concrete applications under the PSI Fiberstrand, TUF-STRAND and PSI Steel Fibers trade names.

All Euclid Chemical Company PSI Fiberstrand and TUF-STRAND fibers meet or exceed the
requirements of ASTM C1116 which defines the use of synthetic fiber reinforced concrete or
shotcrete. All PSI Steel Fibers also comply to ASTM C1116 and also meet the requirements of ASTM
A820, Standard Specification for Steel Fibers for Fiber Reinforced Concrete.

SERVICE BEYOND EXPECTATION

Let our team of concrete and engineering professionals work with you to help deliver
profitability and service through our fiber products and beyond. Our complete customer
service capabilities include:

Concrete Mix Design – Euclid Chemical’s technical sales team is experienced in concrete mix
design and how fibers work in concrete. Interactions of chemical admixtures, cement additives,
air entrainment and other specialty products are included with each recommendation on
fiber products.

Specification and Business Development – Let our team of specification experts make
sure that the right fiber is called out for the right application. Our Business Development
Group can also review full project specifications and recommend additional Euclid Chemical
products.

PSI FIBERSTRAND MICRO-SYNTHETIC FIBERS

PSI Fiberstrand Fibers are used for plastic shrinkage crack control and are ideally suited to secondary reinforcing
applications for slabs and pre-cast concrete. They are available in various sizes and lengths of monofilament and fibrillated
polypropylene, monofilament polyester and nylon.

TUF-STRAND MACRO-SYNTHETIC FIBERS

TUF-STRAND Fibers can be used where an equivalent reinforcing option to steel fibers, wire mesh and light gage
reinforcing bars are required in pre-cast concrete, slabs on grade, composite steel decks and shotcrete applications.
Appropriate dosages are calculated by determining the engineering requirements of the existing design and providing
an equivalent residual strength.

TUF-STRAND SF is a patented macro-synthetic fiber that is UL certified for composite steel deck construction and
is used for replacement of limited structural steel in pre-cast, slabs on ground, pavements and shotcrete applications.
Design Assistance can also be provided for determining appropriate fiber dosages for slab on ground projects designed in
accordance with ACI 360 using our proprietary TUF-STRAND SF Software Program and accompanying Manual.

PSI STEEL AND BLENDED FIBERS

PSI Steel Fibers are used primarily for temperature and shrinkage crack control and limited structural applications in pre-
cast concrete, slabs on grade, elevated structures and shotcrete applications. They are available in crimped (blended with or
without synthetic micro-fibers) and hooked-end configurations.
