What Are PIONEER® HTM® Twist Macro Synthetic Fibers?
PIONEER® HTM® Twist is a premium macro synthetic fiber made from 100% virgin polypropylene with a unique twisted monofilament bundle design. When mixed into concrete or shotcrete, HTM® Twist creates a 3-D polymer network that improves bonding, increases post-crack residual strength and controls plastic and drying shrinkage cracking — all without the corrosion risk associated with steel fibers.
Key quick facts
-
Replaces steel fibers and welded wire mesh in many applications.
-
Smooth finish and pumpable for shotcrete mixes.
-
Effective across slab-on-grade, precast, shotcrete and industrial flooring applications.

How Twisted Macro Fibers Enhance Fiber-Reinforced Concrete
HTM® Twist fibers form a uniform, three-dimensional reinforcement network inside concrete and shotcrete, bridging micro- and macro-cracks to maintain load transfer after cracking. Their twisted bundle structure enhances mechanical anchoring to the cement matrix, improving impact, fatigue, and bending resistance. It is a preferred alternative to welded wire mesh and steel fibers, particularly effective in projects requiring corrosion protection, ease of installation, and cost optimization.

Key Benefits of Using HTM® Twist Macro Synthetic Fibers
-
Replaces steel fibers and welded wire mesh for many concrete reinforcement uses.
-
Controls plastic and drying shrinkage cracking to protect structural integrity.
-
Improves toughness, impact and fatigue resistance on heavy-duty surfaces.
-
Non-corrosive — ideal for harsh or corrosive environments.
-
Lightweight, easy to dose and compatible with automated batching systems.
-
Enables thinner slabs or overlays while maintaining performance (cost-saving).
-
Lower installation time and labour compared with mesh/steel reinforcement.
Applications of HTM® Twist in Concrete and Shotcrete
PIONEER® HTM® Twist is tailored for demanding FRC (Fiber-Reinforced Concrete) use cases:
-
Industrial floors & heavy-duty slabs-on-ground — improved abrasion & fatigue resistance.
-
Shotcrete (tunnels, slopes, mining, underground) — pumpable and improves post-crack behaviour.
-
Precast elements (tanks, pipes, panels) — reduces cracking risk, simplifies handling.
-
Bridge decks, parking structures, ramps & overlays — durable, corrosion-free reinforcement.
-
HPC/UHPC applications needing distributed polymeric reinforcement.

Usage Guidelines for Macro Fiber Reinforcement in Concrete
Follow these guidelines to achieve consistent dispersion and effective reinforcement with PIONEER® HTM® Twist fibers.
-
Dosage: 1.8–4.5 kg/m³, typically 3 kg/m³ for effective crack control.
-
Mixing: Add fibers during batching or with aggregates; extend mixing to ensure even distribution.
-
Placement: Use standard methods for fiber-reinforced concrete; fibers remain embedded, allowing a smooth finish.
-
Note: Replaces secondary mesh reinforcement but does not replace primary structural rebar if required by codes.
