Product Description

Polypropylene (PP) Fiber is a high-performance synthetic fiber widely used in concrete and mortar to improve crack resistance, durability, and impact strength. It is non-corrosive, chemically stable, and enhances structural integrity without affecting workability.

 

Functional Properties

- Crack Resistance - Reduces plastic shrinkage cracks in concrete/mortar.
- Impact Resistance - Enhances durability in shotcrete & precast elements.
- Chemical Stability - Resistant to alkalis, acids, and chlorides.
- Non-Corrosive - Safe for reinforced concrete (unlike steel fibers).
- UV-Resistant Options - For outdoor applications (e.g., pavements).

Application

 

1. Concrete & Mortar Reinforcement

• Dosage: 0.6-1.8 kg/m³ (depends on fiber length).

• Benefits: Reduces cracks in slabs, floors, and tunnels.
   

2. Shotcrete (Sprayed Concrete)

• Fiber Type: 12-50 mm monofilament.

• Advantage: Improves rebound resistance and cohesion.
   

3. Asphalt Paving

• Usage: 0.1-0.3% by weight of bitumen.

• Function: Prevents reflective cracking in roads.
   

4. Geotextiles & Soil Stabilization

• Fibrillated Fiber: Used in erosion control mats and embankments.
   

5. Plaster & Stucco

• Micro Fiber (3-6 mm): Prevents shrinkage cracks in thin layers.

FAQs

Q1: Can PP fibers replace steel fibers or rebar?
→ No, they complement reinforcement by controlling micro-cracks. For structural loads, use with rebar/steel fibers.
 

Q2: Does fiber length affect performance?
→ Yes:

• Short fibers (3-12 mm) → Crack control in thin sections.

• Long fibers (20-50 mm) → Improves toughness in thick elements.
   

Q3: Is fiber dispersion a problem?
→ No if mixed properly. Avoid clumping by adding fibers gradually.
