The Big Shot® fiber transport system was designed to quickly and safely move synthetic fiber reinforcement from ground-level storage to upper-level concrete batching systems and concrete mixer trucks. The Big Shot® provides a simple and inexpensive way to add pre-weighed bags or even loose fiber to almost any concrete mixing system. With no moving parts and minimal, if any maintenance, this system requires only PVC pipe, a few hangers, and a supply of compressed air. The Big Shot® system has been installed and used in scores of applications and represents the most efficient fiber-addition method known to minimize additional time and maximize safety.

FORTA-FERRO® is an easy-to-finish, color blended fiber, made of 100% virgin copolymerpolypropylene consisting of a twisted bundle non-fibrillating monofilament and a fibrillating network fiber, yielding a high-performance concrete reinforcement system. FORTA-FERRO® is used to reduce plastic and hardened concrete shrinkage, improve impact strength, and increase fatigue resistance and concrete toughness. This extra heavy-duty fiber offers maximum long-term durability, structural enhancements, and effective secondarytemperature crack control by incorporating a truly unique synergistic fiber system of long length design. FORTA-FERRO® is non-corrosive, non-magnetic, and 100% Alkali proof! This patented fiber is actually a blend of two fibers: A standard fibrillated polypropylene fiber to reduce and control shrinkage and temperature cracking, and A very heavy-duty twisted-bundle monofilament fiber made of a strong synthetic copolymer, to increase load-transfer and post-crack performance. This pre-blended fiber is typically used in long lengths (2-14″) and in high dosages (5 to 30 lbs. cu. yd.) to affect a higher replacement level of reinforcing steel than standard synthetic fibers. FORTA-FERRO® , which means “Strong as Steel”, is also extremely user-friendly, having gained a reputation as the best mixing and finishing fiber of its kind in the industry.

FORTA® FERRO-GREEN® is a unique blend of recycled polypropylene and copolymer macro fibers designed specifically for pervious concrete applications. The FERRO-GREEN® blend consists of 100% recycled polypropylene fibrillated (network) fibers and a high-performance twisted-bundle macro-monofilament fiber, designed to mix, distribute, and finish well in pervious concrete mixes. This fiber combination offers a variety of desirable benefits to pervious concrete pavement applications, including increased strength, toughness, freeze-thaw resistance, and durability.

FORTA® ULTRA-NET® is an easy to finish, color blended, fully oriented, 100% virgin homopolymer polypropylene fibrous reinforcement in a unique twisted-bundle, collated fibrillated (network) form. FORTA® ULTRA-NET® is used to reduce plastic and hardened concrete shrinkage, improve impact strength, increase fatigue resistance and concrete toughness. This extra heavy-duty fiber offers ULTRA-NETWORKING power, maximum long-term durability, and true secondarytemperature control by incorporating a fibrillated pattern and long length option. Non-corrosive, non-magnetic and 100% Alkali Proof!
