Helix 5-25 Micro Rebar is a market-leading engineered micro-reinforcement that provides distributed three-dimensional anchoring inside concrete, enabling thinner slabs, reduced conventional rebar, and superior crack distribution compared with standalone synthetic fibers. While more expensive per unit than Fibermesh 150, Helix often delivers better structural contribution and reduced long-term repair costs versus both conventional meshes and standard steel in slab-on-grade applications, making it attractive where performance and slab durability are priorities.
