With the FLEXSTREN technology we introduce a new way to give flexural behavior to concrete products, overcoming steel reinforcing limitations (cover requirements and steel corrosion). FLEXSTREN Technology consists of applying a post-compression on dry cast concrete products, after curing, with a stressed and oriented high tensile continuous composite.
This reinforcing is NOT dispersed in the concrete mix but applied only where it is needed.
FLEXSTREN is already available to produce:
– Large flexible Pavers
– Concrete Pipes without steel reinforcement
– Ultra thin wall pipes
– High strength aerated concrete blocks
– Drycast Railway Sleepers
ADDING FLEXIBILITY, weight is reduced, flex and durability is increased
FLOORING, flexible pavers can be applied even on medium-high speed roads
LARGER PAVING SLABS with limited thickness are now possible, enhancing the product applications vs competitive materials (ceramic ,terrazzo tiles..)
