FiberMaxMA™ Toughens Concrete Against Cracking

FiberMaxMA™ incorporates heavy-duty synthetic macro fibres engineered for secondary reinforcement. It provides excellent plastic shrinkage control, reduced settlement cracking, and increased flexural toughness for long-term durability.

Heavy-Duty Macro Fibre Reinforcement

FiberMaxMA™ fibres distribute three-dimensionally to support aggregates, minimizing segregation while boosting shatter and abrasion resistance as an alternative to welded wire fabric or light rebar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our CBM Concrete Solutions product line covers a wide range of project needs – from self-consolidating and high-workability flatwork mixes to fibre-reinforced, accelerated strength, extended workability, and durability-focused formulations. All mixes are performance-based and CSA-compliant. Our technical team can also develop custom mix designs for projects with specific structural or environmental requirements.

We work directly with engineers and contractors before the first truck arrives – reviewing exposure class, strength development, pumping distances, and workability windows to build a concrete program around your project, not around a standard product. The Gordie Howe International Bridge, the Eglinton Crosstown LRT, and 141 Bay are examples of that process at work.

Yes. Every customer has access to the same ready mix concrete solutions and quality-controlled mixes that go into our largest builds. Get in touch with your local CBM representative to discuss your requirements.

CBM is proud to be part of Votorantim Cimentos, one of the largest building materials companies in the world. Our VC Way is the operating philosophy that runs across the entire Votorantim Cimentos family – and it shapes how our teams work every day. For our customers, that means decisions made close to the job, clear communication from order to delivery, and accountability that does not stop once the truck leaves the plant. The work we did at Ripley’s Aquarium, the Gordie Howe International Bridge, and other countless projects reflects exactly that – sustained technical collaboration, dependable execution, and a standard of care that holds across the full life of a project.

Properly dosed and engineered, FiberMaxMA™ macro fibres can substitute for welded wire fabric, light-gauge rebar (#3/#4 or 10-15 mm), or steel fibers in heavy-duty industrial floors, warehouses, and some pavements. They provide post-crack toughness, shatter resistance, and extended joint spacing with engineering support.

The heavy-duty synthetic fibres increase flexural toughness, residual strength, and abrasion resistance while minimizing settlement cracking and improving overall concrete integrity. Distributed in 3D throughout the mix, they reduce permeability and support coarse aggregates against segregation.

FiberMaxMA™ allows wider joint spacing in industrial applications by controlling plastic and drying shrinkage, but structural calculations must verify load capacity per ACI 360 or equivalent. It complements primary reinforcement where needed and improves crew safety by eliminating wire mesh handling.
