NForce-Fiber®
NForce-Fiber® is the world's only commercial technology for advanced, high-performance construction hemp fiber - used, since 2016, in more than 100 commercial projects, including the 2022 Beijing Olympics.
NForce-Fiber® is processed and treated using innovative technologies that prevent fiber degradation and increase performance in the strong alkaline conditions of cement matrices. Unlike conventional synthetic micro-fibers, NForce-Fiber® boasts a chemical bond with the concrete matrix, as well as a mechanical one. NForce-Fiber® is specially treated for concrete compatibility and is adopted for premium concrete and shotcrete applications and is the world’s only ASTM/CSA-compliant hemp reinforcement fiber for concrete.
Features
NFORCE-FIBER® FOR CONCRETE APPLICATIONS
A unique high-performance natural fiber product designed to reduce plastic shrinkage cracking and mix segregation in concrete.
NFORCE-FIBER® FOR SHOTCRETE APPLICATIONS
A unique high-performance natural fiber product designed to significantly increase adhesion and cohesion, mix segregation and rebound in shotcrete, as well as reduce plastic shrinkage cracking.

Licensing
Commercial-scale manufacturing factories are required to realize full NForce-Fiber® business potential. The US concrete fiber market is currently >$2B annually and projected to grow.
A factory making 1,000,000 lbs/year of NForce-Fiber® could generate ~$25M revenue (requiring a concrete fiber market penetration of only about 1% in the US), with payback in less than 1 year.
