What is chopped strand?
The Chopped Strand consists of technical glass or polypropylene fibers cut to controlled lengths (3 to 20 mm). These fibers are dispersed homogeneously in the cement or mortar mix, acting as three-dimensional reinforcement to prevent early cracking, increase mechanical strength, and improve the durability of structures.
Benefits of using chopped strand in construction
Homogeneous internal reinforcement
Three-dimensional distribution that reinforces the entire mass of the material, not just the surface.
Reduction of cracks
Effective control of cracking due to plastic shrinkage, thermal effects, or impact loads.
Sustainability and efficiency
Reduction of structural steel in light applications, lower weight, and faster processes.
Improved durability and aesthetics
Greater resistance to water, chemicals, and external agents. Improves cohesion and finish.
