Concrete fibers Advantages
Benefits of PP fibers
PP fibers added to concrete, whether or not combined with reinforcement, are aimed at making the concrete better. That is why they are used in many construction works where concrete has an important role to play.
PP fibers in fresh concrete
- Reduce cracks in early–age concrete
- Reduce segregation and improve mix cohesiveness
- Improve early-age compressive strength
- Reduce Bleeding
PP fibers in hardened concrete
- Improve impact and abrasion resistance
- Better resist freeze/thaw cycles
- Improve water migration
- Are less subject to transport damage
- Improve Fire Resistance
General advantages of PP fibers
- Make concrete last longer & reduce surface dusting
- Save time & costs
- Reduce shotcrete rebound
- Reduce concrete waste
- Resist corrosion – alkali resistance
