PP Fiber

Product Description

CETEXpolypropylene, PP, Construction fibers are hydrophobic, which do not absorb thewater, and are non- corrosive. Moreover, the polypropylene fibers haveexcellent resistance against alkali, chemicals and chloride and have low heatconductivity. By these characteristics polypropylene fibers have therefore nosignificant effect on the water demand of the fresh concrete. They do notintervene in hydration of cement and hence do not influence unfavorably theeffects of all constituents in the concrete mixture.

Polypropylene is the lightest syntheticpolymer. Hence the count of fiber for a given weight is maximum in case ofpolypropylene. It is 52% lighter than polyester and 26percent lighter thannylon and acrylic. Hence polypropylene fibers are ideal for reinforcement. CETEX fibers are treated with specialchemicals for better dispersion and bonding of the fiber with the cementitiousmatter. CETEX construction fibersare compatible with all concrete admixtures and performance enhancingchemicals. CETEX fibres are easy touse and they disperse easily.

DIRECTION OF USE

For onsitemachine mixing

Small quantity of water is dosed in empty drum to clean the drumafter each batch. Add fiber in the rotating drum. Then addchips/sand/cement/water in the concrete mixer and continue normal operation.

Fordosing in Ready Mix Truck

Add fibers in small lots in the rotating drum. After dosing iscomplete allow extra 20-30 revolutions of drum at maximum RPM.

ForManual Mixing (CPP06/12)

Put fibers in a bucket of water and stir it so that fibersdisperse in water. Spread the water and fibre mixture on the dry cementatiousmix.

DOSAGE

For crack prevention:  500to 1000gm/m³ ;

For Fire Protection of Concrete:- 1.0 3.0 Kg/m³

As primary reinforcement: 1.0 4.0 Kg/m³, depending onconditions required.

The above mentioned dosage is just a guideline. It is recommendedto optimize the dosage depending on the requirement.
