HTM® Emb Blend
Embossed Blend Macro Fibers
Steel-Free Crack Control, Toughness & Durability
Since 2002, we have specialized in concrete crack resistance, waterproofing, and anti-corrosion technologies.
HTM® Emb Blend Macro-Micro Synthetic Fiber for Concrete
High-Toughness Crack Control for Industrial Floors, Precast & Shotcrete
What Is HTM® Emb Blend?
HTM® Emb Blend combines embossed macro synthetic fibers with high-strength polypropylene microfibers, creating a dual-scale reinforcement system that improves crack resistance during both the plastic and hardened stages of concrete.
The embossed macro fiber geometry is designed to promote mechanical anchorage and support post-crack toughness and crack control.

How Embossed Macro Fibers Enhance Concrete Performance
Enhanced Mechanical Anchorage
The embossed pattern increases pull-out resistance and improves toughness.
Excellent Crack Control
Reduces plastic shrinkage, drying shrinkage, and temperature cracking.
Residual Flexural Performance
Performance can be evaluated using ASTM C1609/C1609M, with residual strength determined from project-specific concrete testing.
Improved Toughness & Impact Resistance
Ideal for heavy-duty floors, pavements, tunnels, and precast.
Improves toughness and reduces rebound
Enhances durability and crack control

Usage Guidelines for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
Ensure optimal performance of macro synthetic fibers in your concrete projects:
-
Dosage: 1.8–4.5 kg/m³, typically 3 kg/m³ for crack control.
-
Mixing: Add during batching with aggregates and extend mixing for uniform dispersion.
-
Placement: Compatible with standard placement and finishing techniques.
-
Note: Replaces secondary mesh but not structural rebar where required by code.

FAQ
HTM® Emb Blend is a pre-blended synthetic fiber system combining embossed macro synthetic fibers with polypropylene microfibers for concrete applications requiring both fiber scales.
The microfiber component provides fine distributed reinforcement during early concrete hardening, while the embossed macro component is intended to support crack bridging and post-crack performance.
The embossed surface provides a textured mechanical-interaction profile with the cement matrix. Final performance depends on dosage, concrete mix and the applicable test method.
The current public page lists 1.8–4.5 kg/m³, typically 3.0 kg/m³. Final dosage should follow the current HTM® Emb Blend TDS and project performance requirements.
It may be considered in selected applications where project design, test results and applicable approvals support substitution. It is not a universal replacement for structural reinforcement.
