About Polypropylene Fiber

CETEX polypropylene (PP) Construction fibers are hydrophobic, which do not absorb the water, and are non- corrosive. Moreover, the polypropylene fibers have excellent resistance against alkali, chemicals and chloride and have low heat conductivity. By these characteristics polypropylene fibers have therefore no significant effect on the water demand of the fresh concrete. They do not intervene in hydration of cement and hence do not influence unfavorably the effects of all constituents in the concrete mixture.

Polypropylene is the lightest synthetic polymer. Hence the count of fibre for a given weight is maximum in case of polypropylene. It is 52% lighter than polyester and 26% lighter than nylon and acrylic. Hence polypropylene fibers are ideal for reinforcement. CETEX fibers are treated with special chemicals for better dispersion and bonding of the fiber with the cementitious matter. CETEX construction fibers are compatible with all concrete admixtures and performance enhancing chemicals. CETEX fibres are easy to use and they disperse easily.

DIRECTION OF USE

For onsite machine mixing :- Small quantity of water is dosed in empty drum to clean the drum after each batch. Add fibre in the rotating drum. Then add 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 drum at maximum RPM.

For Manual Mixing (CPP06/12) :- Put fibers in a bucket of water and stir it so that fibres disperse in water. Spread the water and fibre mixture on the dry cementatious mix.

DOSAGE

For crack prevention: - 500 - 1000gm/m3 ; For Fire Protection of Concrete:- 1.0 3.0 Kg/m3

As primary reinforcement: - 1.0 4.0 Kg/m3 (depending on conditions required.)

Enhanced Concrete Reinforcement

Polypropylene fibers are incorporated into concrete mixes to significantly increase their toughness, control shrinkage cracking, and boost flexural strength. Suitable for diverse applications, they are highly sought after in industrial, commercial, and residential projects. With sizes from 3mm to 60mm, including macrofibers, they cater to both minor and large-scale reinforcement needs.

Versatile Sourcing Across India

Whether you are looking to source polypropylene fibers in bulk or for specialized use, they are accessible across India through a wide network of suppliers, including dealers, wholesalers, and manufacturers. Their availability in various lengths and types ensures suitability for nearly every kind of concrete project, offering both flexibility and reliability to construction professionals.

FAQs of Polypropylene Fiber:

Q: How do polypropylene fibers improve concrete reinforcement?

A: Polypropylene fibers enhance concrete by minimizing shrinkage cracks, increasing impact resistance, and improving flexural strength. Their uniform distribution in the mix provides a multi-dimensional reinforcement, resulting in longer-lasting and more resilient structures.

Q: What sizes of polypropylene fiber are available for use in concrete reinforcement?

A: Polypropylene fibers come in multiple sizes, including 3mm, 6mm, 12mm, 24mm, 36mm, 40mm, 50mm, 60mm, and macrofiber varieties. This wide selection allows users to choose the optimal fiber length for specific concrete reinforcement applications.

Q: When should polypropylene fibers be added during the concrete process?

A: The fibers are typically added directly into the concrete mix during batching. Its important to disperse them evenly for maximum performance, ensuring optimal integration before pouring and shaping the concrete.

Q: Where can I source polypropylene fibers in India?

A: Polypropylene fibers can be purchased throughout India from numerous dealers, distributors, exporters, manufacturers, producers, suppliers, traders, retailers, and wholesalers. Many suppliers cater to bulk and project-specific requirements.

Q: What is the process for incorporating polypropylene fibers into concrete?

A: The recommended process involves adding the designated fiber quantity into the concrete mixer along with other materials. Adequate mixing ensures the fibers are evenly distributed, which is critical for achieving optimal reinforcement throughout the concrete matrix.

Q: How are polypropylene fibers beneficial compared to traditional steel reinforcements?

A: Polypropylene fibers offer several benefits, such as resistance to corrosion, ease of handling, reduced weight, and the ability to control micro-cracks. Unlike steel, they do not rust and contribute to the long-term durability of reinforced concrete structures.
