Give them the additional strength of

Recron 3s secondary reinforcement.

Concrete is widely used because of its valuable properties. It has high compressive strength and stiffness, HOW RECRON 3S WORKS:
low thermal and electrical conductivity, besides being non-combustible and non-toxic.
Improves resistance to plastic & drying shrinkage/cracking
While these advantages are enough for many purposes, ordinary concrete falls short when used in certain
Inhibits propagation of micro-cracks and provides stability to concrete
construction projects. Faced with repeated stress, temperature variations and corrosion, it tends to
become brittle, lacking tension and developing cracks. Given that most of these projects are of vital Improves flexural toughness/increases split tensile strength

infrastructural importance, ordinary concrete will obviously not do. Enhances abrasion resistance and increases energy absorption of concrete,
thereby improving impact resistance
Thats when Recron 3s can add muscle to concrete. A specialty secondary reinforcement additive,
Recron 3s adds toughness and tensile strength to concrete, while helping resist shrinkage and cracking. It Aids in making concrete more homogenous

also bonds better with the mix, thanks to a unique triangular cross section and dimensional stability. Reduces permeability in concrete

Developed after extensive research at the Reliance Technology Centre, Recron 3s has been widely used in Improves durability and enhances the longevity of the structure

a variety of applications. You can be sure that it will add value to the special structures you build.
