Grace Construction Products

Grace Construction Products has signed an agreement to license the use of its STRUX 90/40 synthetic structural fiber reinforcement technology in the U.S. and Canada to Polymer Group Inc.

STRUX 90/40 synthetic structural fiber reinforcement is the latest addition to Grace’s growing line of high performance synthetic structural fibers. It is designed to replace welded wire fabric, light rebar and steel fibers in slab-on-ground and precast applications. Grace will continue to market STRUX 90/40 through its own sales force, while PGI will expand that reach via its network of direct sales and manufacturers’ reps. Grace and PGI will work together to educate the industry regarding proper performance standards of fiber-reinforced concrete.

Headquartered in Cambridge, Mass., Grace Construction Products manufactures concrete admixtures and fiber reinforcement. The company also offers liquid color pigments and products for architectural concrete, cement processing additives, fire protection, firestops, waterproofing, and masonry products.
