BarChip Macro Synthetic Fibre Concrete Reinforcement.
The proven macro synthetic fibre 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 fibre deliver consistent, proven performance in all types of concrete.
BarChip Macro Synthetic 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 an embossed macro synthetic fibre purpose built for high 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 reinforcement.
Most Suitable For: Structural Concrete, Precast, Slab on Grade, Paving
BarChip R65
Is an embossed macro synthetic fibre manufactured using recycled materials and engineered for high-performance shotcrete applications. Delivering exceptional toughness and ductility, R65 is ideal for projects requiring superior energy absorption and post-crack performance. It combines proven performance with the sustainability benefits of recycled materials.
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 an embossed macro synthetic fibre manufactured using recycled materials. Designed to balance beam and panel performance with excellent mixability, R50 is a versatile reinforcement solution for a wide range of concrete and shotcrete applications.
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
Is a parallel macro synthetic fibre specifically developed for flooring and paving applications. Its unique multi-strand design delivers the triple benefit of residual strength, plastic shrinkage crack control and a fibre free surface finish. MQ58 is the ideal reinforcement solution for industrial floors, pavements and slab-on-grade construction.
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 an embossed macro synthetic fibre engineered for demanding shotcrete applications. Combining excellent toughness and post-crack performance, it has been proven in hundreds of infrastructure, tunnelling and mining projects worldwide. BarChip 54 delivers the reliability and durability required for challenging construction environments.
Most Suitable For: Shotcrete
BarChip MACRO
Is a user-friendly embossed macro synthetic fibre designed for general concreting applications. It offers strong performance at low dose rates, making it ideal for low strength pavements and general concrete construction.
With excellent mixing and finishing characteristics, BarChip MACRO fits seamlessly into everyday concrete operations.
Most Suitable For: Residential Concrete, Low-Strength Pavements
BarChip SHOGUN
Was the first macro synthetic fibre to outperform steel alternatives in demanding shotcrete applications, helping establish macro synthetic fibre as a viable reinforcement solution. With more than 20 years of proven global performance, SHOGUN remains a trusted choice, known for its easy mixing, pumpability and consistent results.
Most Suitable For: Shotcrete
BarChip 2024
Is an embossed 24 mm macro synthetic fibre designed for applications where traditional longer fibres may be unsuitable. Its shorter length makes it ideal for thin precast elements, mortars and specialist shotcrete applications while still delivering the benefits of structural fibre reinforcement.
Most Suitable For: Thin pavements, Mortar, Dry Shotcrete
