SuperTie™ 15K Patented Gripper System

Fiberglass Form Tie-System

Say goodbye to corrosion forever. Easier to use, saves time, and less expensive than traditional steel form ties. SuperTie™ patented fiberglass form tie-systems are used to secure concrete formwork during concrete placement and initial hydration, without the inherent limitations and rusting of previously popular steel form-tie systems.

  • Reduced Labor Costs – No plugging, patching or sacking.
  • Reusable Parts – Simply strip hardware from form, reuse over 100 times.
  • Variety of Colors – We offer colors to blend with the wall. Custom colors available.
  • Superior Finishes – Eliminates rust and corrosion. Strips flush to concrete.
  • Reduced Inventory – One SuperTie™ fits any wall width.
  • Electromagnetically Transparent – Ideal for situations where interference is undesirable.

Product Overview

SuperTie™ 15K Patented Gripper System offers an ultimate tensile strength of 15,000 pounds (7,500 pounds safe working load at 2:1 safety factor) and is most commonly used with job-built (plywood and 2×4) forms and handset modular forms. Fiberglass ties will never rust, eliminating the need for break-back, plugging, and patching and allowing for superior architectural finishes. US Patent #7,819,388.

  • Extends Form Life – All forms and form liners strip easily from the structure without damage from the ties saving money and time.
  • Reusable Parts – Simply strip hardware from form, reuse over 100 times.
  • Other Sizes Available – Our 6k system can handle your lighter-duty needs.

Always use 2:1 safety factor when engineering tie spacings; refer to the ACI-suggested tie spacing noted in the SuperTie Installation Guide.
