KrampeHarex® wire fibres
Type DE 45/1,0 N, DE 50/1,0 N, DE 60/1,0 N

Wire fibres with hooked ends for outstanding post-failure behaviour.

The intelligent solution for house building

KrampeHarex® steel fibres have been used successfully in house building for more than 15 years – and with good reason. Increased bending tensile strength and post-cracking tensile strength, combined with improved shrinkage characteristics are convincing arguments for house builders and site managers, as are the considerable time savings and cost reductions.

Ground slabs

Using KrampeHarex® steel fibres means there is no need for time-consuming reinforcement work or application of a blinding layer.

Walls

The time benefits of the KrampeHarex® solution are particularly clear in wall construction. In addition to purely structural applications, there is also a licence (Z-71.2-22) for building internal and external walls using steel fibre reinforced concrete.
