This video shows how our fibres are produced, how they perform in concrete, and why more sites are switching to fibres. From the Belgian R&D centre to live job sites, it covers mixing, embossing, and structural performance.
Filmed at our Belgian R&D centre and live job sites.
Adfil® Fibres are grouped into two categories, each designed for a specific function.
Adfil® microfibres are designed to protect concrete during its most vulnerable stage: curing. They help reduce early shrinkage cracks, improve surface quality, and limit fire spalling in thin elements like screeds, renders, and precast parts.
Where they’re used:
Adfil® macrofibres are engineered to replace steel mesh in structural concrete. They reinforce slabs, precast parts, and sprayed linings while simplifying logistics and reducing on-site labour.
Where they’re used:
Every project is different. A tunnel lining doesn’t need the same reinforcement as a warehouse floor or a precast pipe.
That’s why Adfil® fibres are tailored to specific applications. Each fibre is selected for what it brings to the mix: strength, flexibility, fire resistance, or finish.
Adfil®Durus EasyFinish, Adfil®Strux
These fibres replace traditional steel mesh. They speed up installation, reduce carbon emissions, and help maintain slab performance even under heavy loads.
At Spartan Yard, Adfil®Durus EasyFinish was used to pour 40 MPa concrete with no steel mesh. The team reduced placement time.
Adfil®Durus EasyShot
Tunnels need more than strength. They need fire resistance, reliable spray behaviour, and long-term durability. EasyShot is designed for these conditions.
In EN plate tests, EasyShot reached over 800 Joules at just 4 kilograms per cubic metre. It outperformed steel fibres used at higher dosages.
Adfil®Strux, Adfil®Ignis, Adfil®Fibrin
In precast concrete, fibres make elements lighter, reduce cracking, and improve flexural strength. They also help control spalling in fire-rated components.
Adfil® macro and microfibres are used in patented precast pipe designs. These elements are installed in aggressive environments and show excellent long-term resistance.
Adfil®Lify UF500, Adfil®Sinta
When the concrete stays visible, surface quality matters. These fibres help control micro-cracks and improve visual finish. They’re also ideal for projects with sustainability targets.
Lify UF500 has a carbon footprint 15 times lower than synthetic microfibres. It is certified as biodegradable under OECD 301F.
Reinforcing concrete doesn’t have to be heavy, slow, or high-carbon. Adfil® Fibres are easier to work with and deliver better results where it matters most.
Adfil® Fibres help construction teams reduce carbon emissions while keeping workflows simple. By replacing steel mesh, fibres make pouring faster, reduce transport needs, and support low-carbon targets without changing how you build.
Steel reinforcement is carbon-intensive to produce and time-consuming to manage on site. Adfil® Fibres are lighter, easier to dose, and require no cutting or tying. They help reduce emissions by up to 90 percent while improving safety and installation speed.

Fibres reinforcement: your questions answered
Yes. In many applications, Adfil® Fibres match or exceed the performance of traditional steel mesh. They improve crack control, reduce corrosion risks, and are tested to EN and ASTM standards. Structural calculations and dosage tools are available to meet project-specific load requirements.
Not once you look at the full picture. Adfil® Fibres reduce labour, installation time, and logistics costs. On certain sites, total cost savings reach up to 28.8 percent per panel. You save on handling, cutting, tying, and transport.
Yes. Adfil® Fibres are already used in tunnels, precast pipes, and infrastructure exposed to corrosion and high stress. They improve durability and reduce maintenance over time.
No. Fibres are integrated at the batching plant and follow your existing process. There’s no need for on-site adjustments or extra handling.
The full range is covered by Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). Fibres are CE-marked and meet EN and ASTM standards. Some references, like Lify UF500, are also certified biodegradable under OECD 301F.
Producing steel is energy- and carbon-intensive. Adfil® Fibres require less material, less energy, and reduce CO₂ emissions by up to 90 percent compared to mesh. They also cut transport, waste, and labour emissions.
Absolutely. Adfil® Fibres are designed for use in a wide range of concrete types, including ready-mix, precast, sprayed concrete, and decorative finishes.
No specific training is required. If needed, our technical team can assist with integration, provide dosing tools, and support your site teams directly.
If you need help choosing the right fibre, our team can review your specs and suggest the best option. You can upload your plans or simply describe your project. We’ll get back to you with a clear, project-specific recommendation.
