PAN Fibers (Polyacrylonitrile Fibers)

• PAN Fibers (Polyacrylonitrile Fibers) are reinforcing fibers sometimes used in concrete and dry-mix systems. PAN Fibers are made from synthetic polymers and have unique properties that improve the toughness and impact resistance of the concrete. PAN Fibers are known for their high tensile strength and can help to prevent cracking and spalling in concrete structures.

  Here are some benefits of using PAN Fibers in concrete and dry-mix systems compared to other types of fibers:

  • High tensile strength: PAN Fibers have a high tensile strength, which means they can withstand much stress before breaking. This makes them useful in concrete and dry-mix systems where strength and durability are essential.
  • Lightweight: PAN Fibers are relatively light, making them easier to mix into concrete or other building materials. This can help improve the workability of the material.
  • Chemical resistance: PAN Fibers are highly resistant to chemical corrosion, which means they can withstand exposure to a wide range of chemicals without degrading. This makes them useful in harsh environments where other fibers may also not hold up.
  • Thermal stability: PAN Fibers are highly resistant to heat and fire, making them an excellent choice for fire-resistant construction.

  Some drawbacks to using PAN Fibers in concrete and dry-mix systems are that they are generally more expensive than E-Glass Fibers, making them less cost-effective for some applications.

  Compared to other fibers, AR Glass Fibers have a higher tensile strength but are not as resistant to chemical corrosion as PAN Fibers. PP Fibers are less expensive than PAN Fibers but are not as durable or resistant to chemical corrosion.
