Twisted Macro Synthetic Fiber for Concrete
Twisted Bundle Reinforcement for Concrete and Shotcrete
HTM Twist is a twisted-bundle macro synthetic fiber designed for concrete and shotcrete applications where crack bridging, toughness and post-crack performance are important selection criteria. Product suitability should be confirmed according to dosage, required test performance and project specifications.
What Are HTM Twist Macro Synthetic Fibers?
HTM Twist is an engineered twisted-bundle macro synthetic fiber developed for concrete and shotcrete applications requiring distributed crack bridging, toughness and post-crack performance. Its twisted geometry is designed to increase mechanical interaction with the cement matrix compared with a straight fiber form.
Typical applications include shotcrete, tunnel linings, industrial floors, pavements, precast concrete and selected infrastructure projects. Final product selection should be based on dosage, required residual performance, constructability and available test evidence.

How HTM Twist Works in Concrete
The twisted-bundle geometry of HTM Twist is designed to increase mechanical interaction with the surrounding cement matrix. When properly dispersed, the fibers bridge developing cracks and contribute to toughness and residual load transfer after cracking.
Actual performance depends on fiber geometry, dosage, concrete mix, application, test method and project requirements.

Key Benefits of HTM Twist
Twisted-Bundle Geometry
Designed to improve mechanical interaction with the cement matrix.
Crack-Bridging Reinforcement
Distributed macro fibers can bridge cracks and contribute to residual load transfer after cracking.
Toughness and Residual Performance
Designed for applications where post-crack toughness or residual performance is a project requirement.
Non-Corrosive Polymer Fiber
Does not rust like steel reinforcement.
Practical Batching
Added directly to the concrete or shotcrete mix using the recommended batching sequence.
Concrete and Shotcrete Applications
Suitable for evaluation in cast concrete, pumped concrete and selected shotcrete systems.
Recommended Applications of HTM Twist
Shotcrete and Tunnel Linings
For projects requiring distributed macro fiber reinforcement, toughness or energy-absorption performance, subject to project test requirements.
Industrial Floors and Slabs
For slabs-on-ground and industrial floors where macro synthetic reinforcement is specified and required residual performance is verified.
Pavements and Hardstands
For selected pavement and hardstand applications requiring distributed crack bridging and post-crack performance.
Precast and Infrastructure Concrete
For selected precast and infrastructure applications where fiber distribution, corrosion resistance and post-crack performance are relevant.
Dosage and Mixing Guidelines
HTM Twist dosage should be selected according to the required residual performance, concrete mix, application and applicable test method. A generic dosage should not be treated as sufficient evidence for all projects.

FAQ
HTM Twist is a twisted-bundle macro synthetic fiber designed for concrete and shotcrete applications requiring crack bridging, toughness and post-crack performance.
The twisted-bundle profile is designed to increase mechanical interaction with the concrete matrix and support crack bridging and residual load transfer after cracking.
Dosage depends on required residual performance, concrete mix, application and test method. Refer to the current HTM Twist TDS and project-specific performance data.
It may be considered in selected applications where project design, test results and approvals support substitution. It should not be treated as a universal replacement.
It can be evaluated for shotcrete and tunnel applications where pumping, fiber distribution, energy absorption and required post-crack performance have been verified.
