Kuralon®

Concrete and Mortar Reinforcement

Kuralon® is a synthetic fiber made of Poly-Vinyl-Alcohol (PVA) polymer that has been used since many years in concrete and mortar applications.
Kuralon® increases the ductility, the resistance to cracks, the resistance to fire and the durability of concrete and mortar.

Special features:
  • High strength
  • High modulus
  • Low elongation
  • Good adhesion to cement matrix
  • Alkaline resistance
  • UV resistance
  • Light specific weight
  • Excellent resistance
    to environmental
    conditions
 Main applications:
  • Building wall/facade
  • Bridge deck slab
  • OA panel for floor 
  • Wind proof panel for railways
  • Retrofit
  • Tunnel lining 
  • Shotcrete for slope stabilization
  • Overlay for road pavement
  • Concrete slab on grade
