PP Fibers (Polypropylene Fibers)

• PP Fibers (Polypropylene Fibers) are reinforcing fibers commonly used in concrete and dry-mix systems. They are made from synthetic polymers and have several benefits that make them useful in construction applications where the concrete is exposed to high abrasion or impact. PP Fibers can help reduce the risk of cracking and improve the concrete’s overall durability and longevity.

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

  • Improved crack resistance: PP Fibers can help improve the crack resistance of concrete, which can help improve its durability over time. This is especially useful in areas where the concrete will be exposed to temperature fluctuations or other types of stress.
  • Easy to mix and install: PP Fibers are lightweight and easy to mix into concrete or other building materials. This can help improve the material’s workability and make it easier to install.
  • Cost-effective: PP Fibers are relatively inexpensive compared to other reinforcing fibers, making them a cost-effective choice for many construction projects.
  • Chemical resistance: PP Fibers are resistant to many types of chemicals, which can help improve the material’s durability in harsh environments.

  PP Fibers in concrete and dry-mix systems have a lower tensile strength than other fibers, which means they may not be as effective in applications with high strength. They may also be less effective in applications where fire resistance is needed.
