Corrosion Free
Macro synthetic fibre does not corrode like steel reinforcement, supporting long-term durability.
BARCHIP
BarChip SHOGUN
Macro synthetic fibre for shotcrete and concrete reinforcement in mining, tunnelling and ground-support applications.
BarChip SHOGUN is a macro synthetic structural fibre developed as an alternative to steel reinforcement, with more than 20 years of proven performance in demanding shotcrete applications.
OVERVIEW
Corrosion-free reinforcement for high-performance shotcrete.
BarChip SHOGUN is designed primarily for shotcrete and underground rock support. Its 48 mm fibres are easy to mix and pump, improving concrete toughness and ductility while eliminating the corrosion risk associated with steel fibre or mesh reinforcement.
High Toughness
Improves toughness and post-crack performance for shotcrete and ground-support applications.
Easy Mixing
Designed for practical and consistent mixing in concrete and shotcrete batching.
Excellent Pumpability
Can be pumped through 50 mm rubber hoses when appropriate batching and pumping procedures are followed.
Proven Global Performance
More than 20 years of proven global use in demanding shotcrete applications.
