PP Fiber

High performance fibrillated polypropylene fibers

Description
Technical Properties:
PP Fiber is a micro reinforcement, manufactured of
Composi on: 100% virgin polypropylene
100% polypropylene fibers containing no reprocessed
olefin materials designed for use with all cemen ous Appearance: Fibrillated mini bundle
mixes. The inclusion of PP Fiber within a concrete mix
or cemen ous mixes will control shrinkage cracks and Specific gravity: 0.90 kg/ltr
will act as an alterna ve to tradi onal crack control steel Tensile strength: 137 - 689 MPa
