Macro PP Fiber
High performance monofi laments polypropylene macro fi ber
Macro PP Fiber is a synthetic macro fiber manufactured of 100% polypropylene fibers containing no reprocessed olefin materials and with excellent alkali resistant, impermeable and non-corrosive properties.
The unique composition of Macro PP Fiber makes it an excellent alternative to the traditional reinforcement steel mesh in order to significantly reduce the plastic shrinkage cracking and enhance the durability and the mechanical properties of the cementitious mixes.
- Controls and inhibits crack formulation caused by plastic shrinkage, settlement or other internal stresses in concrete.
- Cost effective, replaces secondary reinforcements steel mesh.
- High tensile strength.
- Easily distributed throughout the cementitious mix.
- Compatible with all types of cement and concrete admixtures.
- Rust free.
Macro PP Fiber is ideally designed to decrease the plastic shrinkage cracking in the following applications:
- Slab on grade.
- Elevated slabs.
- Parking areas.
- Stamped concrete.
- Pre-cast concrete.
- Water tanks.
- Pavements.
- Shotcrete.
- Renders.
- Composite decks.
Macro PP Fiber is available in 6 kg bags.
Store in original unopened packaging in dry and shaded areas.
Dosage of Macro PP Fiber will vary depending on the area of application and the required properties of concrete mixes.
Typical dosage is between 1.0 - 5.0 kg/m3 of concrete.
Please contact DCP Technical Department for assistance in product optimization.
- Macro PP Fiber complies with the requirements of ASTM C1116, Type III.
- Macro PP Fiber complies with BS EN 14889-2 for structural use in concrete.
