Plient
Recycled SteelFibers for Concrete Applications
Patent Pending
5 years of testing at Texas A&M
Circle’s fiber delivery system fully integrates with your onsite operations
Concrete Applications
Using our Plient fibers, we can eliminate the need for rebar in pavement projects. We would recommend using dowel bars with our Plient fibers.
Plient joint is much more durable
Conventional joint spalled
Cost savings, 8-10%
By using Plient, your cost to pave one mile of road will drop by 8-10%.
Design Guide
We have design specs that can be followed based on your pavement project needs.
Successful Pavement Project
- A recent pilot compared conventional rebar reinforcement to Plient fiber reinforcement – same concrete, same heavy truck loading
- The conventional pavement exhibited significant joint spalling after several months
- The Plient fiber pavement showed the joint is much more durable
Using our Plient fibers, we can eliminate the need for rebar in concrete floor projects.
Co2 savings
On a 500,000sf floor, using Plient would save approximately 240 tons of CO2.

Additional Benefits of Plient Fibers for Slab on Grade
Enhanced Safety
- Less falling into grade beam trenches
- Reduced injury from workers walking/slipping on rebar mat while pouring concrete
- Less impalement or injury from cut rebar ends
- Less workers on site, fewer subs to vet
Better Anchorage
- Drilled or cast anchors will be much more resistant to damage/chipping due to tougher concrete surrounding the anchor
Less Degradation Along Joints
- The added toughness from the fibers will reduce joint degradation and longer-term maintenance
Reduced Cracking/spalling Around Column Pours
- The added toughness/crack resistance from the concrete will help reduce any damage in the floor surrounding column pours
Faster Construction
- Cutout the time spent placing/tying rebar
- Eliminate time spent ‘fixing’ rebar mesh after rain, or removing rebar mesh to repair subgrade
More Secure Supply Chain
- With an offtake agreement, Circle can provide a guaranteed supply of fibers annually with lead times of less than 1 week
- Up to 35M lbs annually guaranteed
Simplified, Cheaper
- No need to scan the slab for rebar prior to coring or drilling
Using our Plient fibers, we can greatly reduce the need for rebar in concrete floor projects.
Co2 savings
One mile of concrete pipe made with Plient saves approximately ?? tons of CO2.
