Advantages and applications of Macro Polypropylene Fiber in Concrete Structure, macro PP fiber, Concrete is a material of a high compressive but around ten times smaller tensile strength. Furthermore, it is characterized by a brittle behavior and does not allow transferring stresses after cracking. In order to avoid brittle failure and improve mechanical properties, it is possible to add fibers to the concrete mix. This creates fiber reinforced concrete (FRC) which is a cementitious composite material with a dispersed reinforcement in a form of fibers, e.g. steel, polymer, polypropylene, glass, carbon, and others. Fiber reinforced concrete is a cementitious composite material with a dispersed reinforcement in a form of fibers. Polypropylene fibers can be divided into microfibers and macrofibers depending on their length and the function that they perform in the concrete. Macro synthetic fibers are typically used in structural concrete as a replacement for nominal bar or fabric reinforcement; they do not replace structural steel but macro synthetic fibers can be used to provide the concrete with significant post-cracking capacity. Benefits: Lightweight reinforcement; Superior crack control; Enhanced durability; Post-cracking capacity. Easily added to concrete mixture at any time Applications Shotcrete, concrete projects, such as foundations, pavements, bridges, mines, and water conservancy projects. Macro PP fiber has a high breaking strength, good dispersion, and strong binding force. The embossed surface has better bite forces with concrete to improve the shrinkage resistance and crack resistance. It is a perfect troubleshooter of low tensile strength, low ultimate elongation, and brittleness of concrete. Applications • Field Concrete and Industrial Floors • Coastal Structures & Ports • Mining • Tunnel Applications • Residential Buildings • Parking Lot Flooring • Pre-cast and Prefabricated Structures • Water Structures • Concrete Pavements Advantages • Saves time from handling the steel mesh on the site. • Significantly reduces application times and direct labor expenses. • Due to being non-corrosive significantly reduces slab thickness. • Prevention of corrosion increases service life and reduces maintenance costs. • Eliminates labor-related risks and removes potential hazards from the work site related to steel mesh and steel fibers. • Does not damage construction equipment as steel fiber. • Reduces costs of storage and due to not having a shelf life can be stored for long-term. • Overall cost is lower than steel mesh and steel fibers.
