PP MACRO - MICRO FIBER
PP (Polypropylene) Macro Fiber
It is used by adding to the concrete mixture. This process can be done in the concrete plant or in the transmixer at the construction site. Depending on the predetermined concrete mix design, the packages in the determined dosage are thrown into the mixer one by one at certain intervals. After the last package takes its place in the mixture, it is made ready for application by mixing at high speed for 6-7 minutes.
Usage areas:
-Field Concretes and Industrial Floors
-Concrete Roads
- Shotcrete (shotcrete)
-Screed Applications
-Prefabricated and Precast Building Elements
PP (Polypropylene) Micro Fiber
Polypropylene Fibers are micro reinforcement material used for concrete, plaster, screed, gypsum, field concrete precast applications.
Features
-Specific Gravity: 0.91 (water=1)
-Electrical Conductivity: Low
-Acid and Salt Resistance: High
-Melting point 162 °C
-Flammable Point 593 °C
-Thermal Conductivity Low
- Tensile strength 450-700 Mpa
Advantages
-It reduces the water permeability of the concrete as it prevents the formation of micro cracks.
-It increases the resistance of the concrete against freezing and thawing, delays the corrosion of the reinforcement.
-Because it is homogeneously dispersed in the concrete, it becomes a micro reinforcement for the cement mortar.
-It increases the resistance of concrete against impact.
- It reduces the risk of damage and collapse in possible earthquakes by preventing the dispersion of the concrete.
-Does not affect concrete aggregate granulometry.
-Increases adherence in plasters and eliminates the need for reinforcement mesh.
-Reduces costs by using it instead of shrinkage reinforcement and temperature reinforcement.
-Increases the breaking strength of edges and corners in joints and concrete finishes.
-Gives a ductile structure to brittle concrete.
-Reduces segregation, increases the durability of concrete.
Usage areas
- In parking lots, on concrete roads
-Precast and prefabricated elements
-In field concretes, screed concretes
-In shotcrete, thin floors
-Mezzanine floor, hollow flooring and formwork systems
- In repair, plaster and insulated cement based mortars
-Elements without carrier properties
-In water tanks, swimming pools and coastal structures
