BarChip Macro Synthetic Fibre Concrete Reinforcement.
The proven alternative to steel reinforcement – lower carbon, easier to use, built for performance.
Not All Fibres Are Created Equal —
Is Yours Built for the Job?
BarChip isn’t just a fibre, it’s a customised concrete reinforcement solution. Each fibre is engineered to meet the specific performance demands of your application. From structural precast and industrial flooring, to sprayed concrete and tunnel linings, BarChip’s macro synthetic fibres deliver consistent, proven performance in all types of concrete.
BarChip Fibre Range
There is no universal one size fits all fibre. Individual fibre performance is greatly affected by the concrete type and application. We’ve optimised each BarChip fibre for specific concrete applications by customising matrix anchoring techniques, fibre shapes, material properties and a few other secret ingredients.
BarChip 48 is purpose built for performance at low deflections. Ideal for designs using Beam test validation, it’s the trusted fibre for critical infrastructure including tunnel segments, precast elements and concrete track slab. Capable of meeting fib Model Code Class 3e, BarChip 48 sets the standard for high performance synthetic fibre in concrete.
Most Suitable For: Structural Concrete, Precast, Slab on Grade, Paving
BarChip R65 delivers unmatched performance in panel testing. Designed for projects that demand superior energy absorption at large deformations, BarChip R65 sets the benchmark for sprayed concrete reinforcement.
BarChip R65 is made with recycled materials, offering massive carbon savings, and making it the smart choice for sustainably focused projects.
Most Suitable For: Shotcrete
BarChip R50 is a versatile macro synthetic fibre designed for a wide range of concrete applications, including shotcrete, precast and paving. It delivers high performance in both beam and panel testing, while maintaining excellent mixing and workability characteristics.
Made with recycled materials, BarChip R50 supports low-carbon construction, delivering significant carbon savings for projects targeting sustainable outcomes.
Most Suitable For: Shotcrete, Pavement, Precast
BarChip MQ58 stands alone in concrete flooring, delivering a unique triple-threat of Residual Strength, Shrinkage Crack Control and a Fibre-Free Finish. No other fibre matches this combination of qualities.
The unique design and material composition of BarChip MQ58 helps fibres embed below the surface, delivering a perfect fibre-free surface finish regardless of finishing techniques.
Most Suitable For: Concrete Flooring, Pavements
BarChip 54 is a high-performance macro synthetic fibre engineered specifically for shotcrete. It delivers excellent toughness while maintaining easy mixability and pumpability. With proven results in hundreds of tunnel projects worldwide, BarChip 54 offers the perfect balance of usability and performance in sprayed concrete applications.
Most Suitable For: Shotcrete
BarChip MACRO is a user-friendly macro synthetic fibre designed for general concreting applications. It offers strong performance at low dose rates, making it ideal for low strength pavements and everyday concrete works.
With excellent mixing and finishing characteristics, BarChip MACRO fits seamlessly into everyday concrete operations.
Most Suitable For: Residential Concrete, Low-Strength Pavements
BarChip SHOGUN changed the fibre game. As the first macro synthetic fibre to outperform steel alternatives, SHOGUN set the benchmark that all other fibres have followed. With over 20 years of proven global performance, it remains a trusted choice for its easy mixing, pumpability and consistent results – a true original that continues to deliver.
Most Suitable For: Shotcrete
BarChip 2024 is a macro synthetic fibre concrete reinforcement designed for applications that demand shorter fibre lengths. At just 24mm, it’s ideal for thin pavements, mortar-based systems, dry shotcrete and other specialised concrete applications, delivering strength and reliability where it’s needed most.
Most Suitable For: Thin pavements, Mortar, Dry Shotcrete
