Hybrid Steel and Synthetic Fiber for Concrete | PIONEER®
Advanced Blended Fiber Reinforcement for UHPC and FRC
Elevate your concrete with hybrid steel and synthetic fiber reinforcement designed to deliver exceptional crack control, toughness, and durability in UHPC, FRC, and high-performance concrete applications.
What Is Hybrid Steel and Synthetic Fiber for Concrete?
PIONEER® PNE® Hybrid steel and synthetic fiber systems combine high-tensile steel fibers with micro synthetic fibers to create an advanced crack-bridging network within concrete. This hybrid fiber reinforcement effectively controls both plastic and drying shrinkage cracks while providing post-crack load-bearing capacity and toughness for demanding concrete projects.
Standards for Hybrid Fiber Reinforced Concrete
PIONEER® hybrid steel and synthetic fibers for concrete reinforcement comply with:
-
ASTM A820 – Standard Specification for Steel Fibers for Concrete Reinforcement
-
ASTM C1116 – Standard Specification for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
These standards ensure consistent performance for UHPC and advanced concrete reinforcement projects.

Key Benefits of Using Hybrid Steel Fibers in Concrete
Using hybrid steel fiber reinforcement for UHPC and FRC provides:
-
Comprehensive Crack Control: Micro synthetic fibers reduce plastic shrinkage cracking, while steel fibers enhance post-crack toughness.
-
Superior Toughness: Increases flexural strength, energy absorption, and ductility.
-
Durability: Improves resistance to impact, abrasion, and fatigue in high-performance concrete.
-
Cost Efficiency: Allows partial or full replacement of rebar in select applications, reducing labor and material costs.
-
Consistent Reinforcement: Ensures uniform fiber dispersion without segregation during batching and placement.
Applications of Hybrid Steel and Synthetic Fiber for Concrete
PIONEER® hybrid fibers are ideal for:
-
UHPC panels, bridges, and architectural façades
-
High-speed rail infrastructure and thin overlays
-
Industrial floors and pavements with high abrasion demands
-
Shotcrete for tunnels and slope stabilization
-
Precast concrete requiring high ductility and crack resistance
-
Heavy-duty concrete surfaces for warehouses and ports
-
Concrete repair and durable overlays in structural rehabilitation
These hybrid fibers enhance high-performance concrete, UHPC, and FRC applications requiring a combination of crack control, toughness, and longevity.

How to Use Hybrid Fiber Reinforcement in Concrete
For effective use of hybrid steel and synthetic fiber for concrete:
-
Batching: Add fibers gradually during dry mixing to ensure even distribution.
-
Dosage: 10–30 kg/m³ depending on the structural and performance requirements.
-
Mixing: Extend mixing time to ensure full dispersion and prevent clumping.
-
Placement: Compatible with standard casting, vibration, pumping, and finishing methods for UHPC and fiber-reinforced concrete.
-
Finishing: Slight surface fiber exposure may occur but will not affect durability or performance.

FAQ
Steel fibers provide structural load-bearing capacity after cracking, while micro synthetic fibers control early-age plastic and drying shrinkage cracks. Together, they distribute stresses more evenly and enhance both early and long-term concrete performance.
Hybrid fibers are commonly used in industrial floors, slabs-on-ground, precast concrete, tunnels, pavements, foundations, and other structural or heavy-duty concrete applications requiring both crack control and toughness.
In many applications, hybrid fiber reinforcement can partially or fully replace conventional reinforcement used for crack control, depending on design requirements and structural loads. Final reinforcement design should always follow project specifications and engineering calculations.
Yes. Hybrid steel and synthetic fibers are compatible with both ready-mix and precast concrete production, provided proper batching, mixing time, and quality control procedures are followed.
