Polypropylene Fiberglass (PP Fiber + Fiberglass Blend)
Polypropylene fiberglass is a hybrid reinforcement fiber, typically made by blending polypropylene fibers with fiberglass chopped strands. This combination leverages the flexibility and crack resistance of polypropylene with the high tensile strength and durability of fiberglass.
Key Features:
Excellent crack control in concrete
Enhanced impact and abrasion resistance
Alkali and chemical resistant
Lightweight and easy to mix into cementitious materials
Improved shrinkage control and ductility
Common Uses of Polypropylene Fiberglass:
1. Concrete Reinforcement
Used in industrial flooring, precast concrete, driveways, and slabs
Reduces plastic shrinkage cracking and increases toughness
2. Mortar and Plaster
Prevents micro-cracking and increases life of cement renders and plasters
3. Tunnels and Dams
Improves flexural performance and durability in underground and hydraulic structures
4. Shotcrete Applications
Enhances energy absorption and spalling resistance in mines, tunnels, and slope stabilization
5. Waterproofing Systems
Added to waterproofing slurries and coatings for flexibility and adhesion
