PVA Fibers
The Benefits of PVA Fibers™ by Nycon
-
can be used as a primary reinforcement in place of welded wire mesh and rebar.
-
have moduli of 25~40 GPa, that combined with tensile strengths of 120-240 ksi, mean your concrete will flex under loads that would cause other reinforcement methods to fail.
-
bond within the concrete on a molecular level (hydrogen bonding).
-
do not affect curing process chemically and can be used in any type of concrete.
At NYCON we offer RECS15, RSC15, RECS100, RFS400, RF4000, RMS702, and Tuff-Mix PVA fiber products.

PVA Fibers Products
RECS100
RECS100 by Nycon are 20 denier, mono-filament PVA fibers (Polyvinyl Alcohol) for use in creating fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). The primary benefits of RECS100 are lightweight flexural strength as well as increased impact and abrasion resistance. They are a preferred reinforcement solution for applications under a 1/2 inch thick. RECS100 fibers can replace glass fibers in GFRC at a third of the weight of glass. These PVA fibers bond on a molecular level (hydrogen bonding) within concrete, creating a multi-dimensional network of tensile (180 ksi (1200 MPa)) and flexural (3600 ksi (25 GPa)) strength.
RSC15
RSC15 by Nycon are 8 denier, ductile mono-filament PVA fibers (Polyvinyl Alcohol) for use in creating fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). These fibers are used primarily to increase the flexibility and toughness of concrete. These fibers lend their 4200 ksi (29 GPa) of flexural strength to your concrete allowing it to bend where normal concrete would break. These PVA fibers bond on a molecular level (hydrogen bonding) within concrete, creating a multi-dimensional network of it's tensile strength (210 ksi (1400 MPa) ).
RFS400
RFS400 by Nycon are PVA fibers (Polyvinyl Alcohol) with a denier of 40 for use in creating fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). These fibers are designed for the purpose of adding flexural strength to concrete and improving impact and abrasion resistance. RFS400 also provides shrinkage and temperature crack control. These PVA fibers bond on a molecular level (hydrogen bonding) within concrete, creating a multi-dimensional network of tensile (240 ksi (1600 MPa) ) and flexural strength.
RF4000
RF4000 by Nycon are 130 denier, mono-filament macro PVA fibers (Polyvinyl Alcohol) for use in creating fiber-reinforced concrete (FRC). The primary benefits of RF4000 are light-weight flexural strength and increased impact and abrasion resistance. These PVA fibers bond on a molecular level (hydrogen bonding) within concrete, creating a multi-dimensional network of it's tensile strength (120 ksi (800 MPa) ).
