40mm Fibers

POLYPROPYLENE (PP) CONSTRUCTION FIBERS - 40mm Length

APPLICATION

These are Polypropylene (PP) macro fibers of 40 mm length for reinforcement in concrete. The long length of the fiber holds different components of concrete together,thereby providing a better reinforcement thus increases the strength and properties of concrete. It is used in flooring, roads, slabs and other load bearing structures. A special treatment is done on the surface of fiber for better dispersion in concrete mix.

It conforms to ASTM C 1116/C 1116M - 06 4.1.3 Type III & BS EN 14889-2: 2006.

DOSAGE

• For Secondary Reinforcement - Above 600 gm/m³
• For Primary Reinforcement (in concrete floors/precast) - Above 1000 gm/m³.

Results improve with higher dosage of fiber. Kindly optimize the dosage depending on the requirement.

HOW TO USE?

• For Machine Mixing - Small quantity of water is dosed in empty drum to clean the drum after each batch. Add fiber in the rotating drum. Then add the chips/sand/cement/water in the concrete mixer and continue normal operation.
• For Dosing in Ready Mix Truck - Add fibres in small lots in the rotating drum. After dosing is complete allow extra 20-30 revolutions of the drum at maximum RPM.
