RICHLAM® 600 Macro Synthetic Fibers
The Advanced Welded Wire Mesh Alternative for Concrete Floors & Slabs
Product Introduction
RICHLAM® 600 Macro Synthetic Fibers engineer three-dimensional structural reinforcement throughout the full depth of concrete floors and slabs-on-ground. Acting as a modern, high-performance alternative to conventional welded wire mesh (WWM) and traditional steel fibers, these heavy-duty polyolefin fibers distribute uniformly within the concrete matrix to optimize post-crack performance and structural load-bearing capacity.
By eliminating the need for cutting, placing, and tying steel mesh, RICHLAM® 600 significantly accelerates construction timelines, reduces labor overhead, and delivers a highly efficient, corrosion-free reinforcement network for modern engineering designs.
From Wire Mesh to Full-Depth 3D Reinforcement
Conventional welded wire mesh reinforces concrete on a single plane and highly depends on flawless onsite placement to perform as engineered. Furthermore, it demands extensive labor for cutting, lifting, supporting, and tying before pouring.
RICHLAM® 600 Macro Synthetic Fibers reshape this dynamic by generating a dense, multi-directional internal grid across the entire slab thickness. This full-depth 3D reinforcement systematically distributes localized stresses, bridges structural cracks, restricts crack widths, and ensures reliable residual strength after initial concrete cracking.
Beyond Conventional Steel Reinforcement
For performance-designed heavy-duty concrete floors, RICHLAM® 600 outperforms traditional steel fibers in both durability and surface quality.
-
Corrosion-Free Longevity: Engineered from lightweight polyolefin, these fibers will never rust, stain, or spall.
-
Flawless Surface Finish: Eliminates the hazard of exposed, sharp steel fibers at the finished industrial floor surface.
-
High-Density Distribution: A vastly superior number of reinforcing elements are active within the concrete mix, providing dependable flexural toughness and robust post-crack load transfer.

Target Applications & High-Load Slabs
-
Industrial & Warehouse Floors — Designed for heavy forklift traffic, high-bay racking systems, and dynamic loading.
-
Logistics Hubs & Distribution Centers — Ensures continuous post-crack performance and reduces joint spalling.
-
Slabs-on-Ground & Jointless Floors — Optimizes structural capacity while widening joint spacings securely.
-
Commercial Flatwork & Heavy-Duty Pavements — Provides structural durability for exterior parking plazas and loading docks.
Technical Specifications & Engineering Standards
Testing & Industry Compliance
RICHLAM® 600 complies strictly with international structural concrete codes:
-
ASTM C1116 / C1116M — Standard Specification for Fiber-Reinforced Concrete.
-
ASTM C1609 / C1609M — Standard Test Method for Flexural Performance of Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (Key for determining residual strength and toughness parameters).
Fiber Configurations & Selection Guide
To match precise slab engineering criteria, RICHLAM® 600 is available in custom geometric profiles:
-
Embossed Configuration: Maximizes mechanical anchoring and bonding within the concrete paste.
-
Twisted-Bundle Configuration: Optimizes bundle opening and uniform dispersion during the dry or wet mixing cycle.
Recommended Dosage Rates
-
Typical Dosage Range: 1.8 – 7.1 kg/m³ (Equivalent to 3.0 – 12.0 lb/yd³)
-
Note: Specific dosages must be calculated based on required structural residual strength, concrete compressive strength, and individual slab thickness designs.
