Sika<\/a> has opened a new hub for synthetic macro-plastic fibres in Lima. This will enable the Zug-based company to expand its product range with a product series that has enormous growth potential, according to a press release<\/a>. Sika says that a quarter of the growing global demand for macrofibre reinforcement is generated in Latin America and expects annual growth of 25 percent over the next five years. Sika expects the largest volume growth in the region to be in Peru, the country with the largest mining industry in Latin America.<\/p>\n

Macro-plastic fibres are based on a new technology for the structural and static reinforcement of concrete components. They replace steel reinforcements and improve the properties of hardened concrete. According to the information provided, this significantly extends the service life of concrete components. All of this also has a positive effect on the classification of sustainable buildings within the framework of international certification systems such as LEED<\/a> (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).<\/p>\n

Increasing mobility in urban centres calls for new, efficient transport infrastructure such as road tunnels and underground railway systems, explains Sika’s Regional Manager Americas, Mike Campion. At the same time, the demand for macrofibre reinforcement systems for mining projects is increasing: “With the new, state-of-the-art plant in Peru, we are able to offer our customers throughout Latin America all of Sika’s concrete technologies while meeting the highest sustainable construction requirements.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
