High-Performance Loose Hooked-End Steel Fiber | PIONEER®
Steel Fibre Reinforcement Solution for Durable Concrete
PIONEER® loose hooked-end steel fibres provide high-tensile reinforcement designed to improve crack control, flexural strength, and long-term durability in steel fiber reinforced concrete (SFRC), tunnel shotcrete, precast elements, and industrial flooring.
Their loose, non-glued form ensures fast, uniform dispersion, offering a cleaner, more efficient alternative to glued steel fibers.
What Is PIONEER® Loose Hooked-End Steel Fibre?
PIONEER® PNE® ES-6660 loose hooked-end steel fibers are non-glued, cold-drawn steel fibre reinforcements designed for SFRC and UHPC.
Unlike glued or bundled fibers, the loose end-hooked design delivers:
-
Immediate dispersion during batching
-
Superior anchorage & pull-out capacity
-
Mechanical interlock through optimized hook geometry
-
Reliable crack resistance in both early and hardened stage
This makes them ideal for:
industrial floors, tunnel shotcrete, pavements, precast segments, bridge decks, and warehouse slabs where high toughness and load transfer performance are required.
International Standards Compliance for Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete
PIONEER® steel fibres comply with global standards to ensure consistent, reliable performance in steel fibre reinforced concrete:
-
ASTM A820 – Standard Specification for Steel Fibers for Concrete Reinforcement
-
ASTM C1116 – Standard Specification for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete and Shotcrete
-
EN 14889-1:2006 – Fibres for Concrete, Part 1: Steel Fibres
All PIONEER® steel fibres—including loose hooked-end types—meet global SFRC compliance requirements, ensuring structural reliability and performance consistency in industrial, precast, and infrastructure applications.

Applications of Steel Fibre Reinforced Concrete
PIONEER® loose hooked-end steel fibres are widely used in demanding SFRC applications requiring high flexural toughness, impact resistance, and structural reliability:
-
Industrial floors & heavy-duty warehouse slabs
-
Shotcrete for tunnels, slopes, mines(loose steel fibers for tunnel shotcrete)
-
Slab-on-ground & pavements
-
Precast pipes, panels, tunnel segments
-
Jointless floors, bridge decks & overlays
-

Usage Guidelines for Optimal Fibre Reinforcement
To achieve optimal performance in SFRC and UHPC, follow these guidelines:
-
Dosage: 15–45 kg/m³ depending on required toughness and design loading
-
Mixing: Add fibres after aggregates; mix 3–5 minutes for full dispersion
-
Placement: Suitable for pumping, casting, spraying
-
Finishing: Standard tools can be used; visible fibre tips do not affect performance

FAQ
The hooked-end geometry provides strong mechanical anchorage, allowing the fibers to effectively bridge microcracks as they form. This restricts crack width, increases flexural toughness, enhances residual strength, and helps the concrete maintain load-bearing capacity even after initial cracking.
Yes. Loose hooked-end steel fibers can be used as a complementary reinforcement system alongside welded wire mesh or rebar. When combined, the fibers provide distributed micro-crack control while the traditional reinforcement handles major structural loads. This hybrid system is common in slabs-on-ground, pavements, and tunnel linings to achieve improved toughness and reduced shrinkage cracking.
Loose steel fibers slightly reduce the slump of fresh concrete, but the effect is manageable by adjusting water-reducing admixtures. Because the fibers are not glued, they disperse quickly and do not significantly increase mixing resistance. Using a well-graded aggregate and a proper superplasticizer ensures smooth placement and finishing.
Distribution quality can be inspected through core sampling, section cutting, or CT scanning (for UHPC applications). A uniform fiber orientation and concentration indicate proper mixing.
Loose steel fibers are fully compatible with both pumping and spraying. Their free-dispersion nature minimizes clogging in pipelines and helps maintain steady flow during shotcrete application.
