PP fiber Description
The fibres are Made of Polypropylene.
PP fiber concrete Features
Polypropylene fibre, often referred to as PP fiber, has several advantages in various applications. Here are its key benefits:
Lightweight: Polypropylene fibre is a lightweight material, making it highly suitable for applications where weight reduction is important. It adds minimal weight to the end product, making it ideal for industries such as automotive, aerospace, and sports equipment.
High Strength: Despite being lightweight, polypropylene fibre exhibits excellent strength. It has a high tensile strength, allowing it to withstand significant loads and stresses. This strength makes it suitable for applications that require robust and durable materials.
Chemical and Moisture Resistance: Polypropylene fibre is highly resistant to chemicals and moisture. It does not readily absorb water, making it resistant to rot, mildew, and microbial growth. Additionally, it can withstand exposure to various chemicals, acids, and alkalis without significant degradation. This resistance makes it ideal for outdoor applications and environments with high humidity or chemical exposure.
Thermal Stability: Polypropylene fibre has good thermal stability, allowing it to retain its properties even at elevated temperatures. It has a high melting point and excellent heat resistance, making it suitable for applications requiring heat resistance, such as carpets, upholstery, and geotextiles.
Cost-effectiveness: Polypropylene fibre is relatively cost-effective compared to other synthetic fibers. It is widely available and offers a cost-efficient solution for various applications, including textiles, packaging, and construction.
Easy Processing: Polypropylene fibre is easy to process and can be spun, woven, or blended with other fibers to achieve desired properties. It can be easily molded or extruded into different shapes, making it versatile for various manufacturing processes.
Recyclability: Polypropylene fibre is recyclable, contributing to sustainability efforts. It can be recycled and used in the production of new polypropylene products, reducing waste and environmental impact.
PP staple fiber Estimating Data
The dosage rate is dependent on the application however the minimum dosage range is 3kg/m3-10kg/m3.
Typical Application
Shotcrete, and engineering industries, concrete project,like being used in base,ground, bridge, dam, especially where relatively large-scale deformations may be expected, such as in mining engineering environment.

How should the fibre be used-- SAP 65S
The fibres are wrapped with water-soluble film and uniquely packaged in paper boxes.Then just throw the whole boxes of fibres into the concrete mixture, the boxes and film then dissolve within seconds, leaving the fibres to disperse evenly throughout the mixture.
