| Product Information | FORTA-FERRO is an easy-to-finish, color blended fiber, made of 100% virgin copolymer/ polypropylene consisting of a twisted bundle non-fibrillating monofilament and a fibrillating network fiber, yielding a high-performance concrete reinforcement system second to none. | pervious concrete is now becoming more than just an oddity in the United States. Synthetic fibers have been tested and used for many years to add an element of crack control. FORTA® has finally developed a fiber that offers a solution to the long-term durability goal as well. |
