Biobased fibres engineered for mineral construction
Econcreed technology transforms plant-derived fibres into high-performance construction materials through patented surface treatment processes.
Fibre Specifications
Econcreed uses fibres from the Poaceae family, processed to precise specifications.
Fibre Type
Fibres from the Poaceae family, including Miscanthus species and other grasses with suitable properties.
Fibre Length
Typical length between 2–10 mm, optimised for dispersion and bonding within mineral matrices.
Moisture Content
Low residual moisture content (<20%, preferably <10%) to ensure consistent processing.
Fibre Treatment Process
Patented aqueous surface treatment modifies fibre properties for construction applications.
Treatment Components
The aqueous surface treatment contains specific compounds designed to modify fibre surface chemistry:
- Silanol-terminated polydimethylsiloxane
- Amino silane coupling agent
- Optional polyethylene glycol ether
Treatment Benefits
The treatment process improves key properties essential for construction applications:
- Enhanced fibre–binder adhesion for structural integrity
- Improved alkaline durability in cement environments
- Controlled moisture uptake during processing
This technology is protected by our patented treatment process and enables long-term carbon storage in construction materials.
Material Effects
When integrated into mineral binders, treated fibres provide measurable improvements.
Reduced Water Absorption
Treatment controls moisture uptake during cement hydration process.
Alkaline Durability
Modified fibres resist degradation in cite/cement-based environments.
Improved Adhesion
Surface treatment enhances bonding between fibres and mineral binders.
Thermal & Acoustic Properties
Fibre integration provides enhanced insulation characteristics.
Compatible Products
Econcreed technology is applicable across multiple construction product categories.
Concrete blocks
Wall and façade panels
Prefabricated elements
Hybrid cementitious composites
Note: Specific strength classes or load-bearing performance are project-dependent and require individual verification. Econcreed does not make generalised performance claims beyond the scope of the patent.
