What is PP Fibre? Polypropylene fibre (PPF) is a kind of linear polymer synthetic fibre obtained from propylene polymerization. It has some advantages such as lightweight, high strength, high toughness, and corrosion resistance. The PPF is widely used in the chemical industry, energy, clothing, environmental protection, and construction.
In the construction industry, concrete has the advantages of high tensile strength, strong deformation resistance, and excellent crack resistance When PPF is added to concrete, the three-dimensional random distribution network structure can be formed in concrete, which effectively inhibits microcrack generation and development.
PP fibers are used in the following applications:
Industrial pavements;Highly resistant concrete. Industrial grounds;Tunnels.
Roads.Special mortars.Precast concrete.
Among the advantages of using PP fibers for reinforcement purposes are:
More cost-effective, fast, and easy-to-use alternative to mesh as a reinforcement method.
- Reduces the formation of retraction and contraction cracks.
- Saves time during the construction process as it can be applied directly after combining with concrete.
- Lower labor costs due to requiring fewer steps during the execution of the building work.
- Provides a secondary, uniform reinforcement.
- Easy to mix with concrete both on-site and at the manufacturing plant.
- Noncorrosive and nonmagnetic material.
- Provides added tenacity to structures.
- Increased impact resistance while preventing erosion.
- Provides safety at building works.
- Provides 3D strengthening.
- High traction resistance.
