PP Fiber

About PP Fiber

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 mixturePolypropylene 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 easilySPECIFICATION OF CETEXPOLYPROPYLENE FIBRESMaterial VirginPolypropylene PPLength 612 24 36 50Melt Point 162Degree CSpecific Gravity 091Ignition Point 360CThermal Conductivity LowElectrical Conductivity LowAlkali Resistance 100 percent Alkali ProofAcid Salt Resistance HighDiameter approx 19 to 40 micronAspect ratio approx 215 to 1250DIRECTION OF USEFor onsitemachine mixingSmall quantity of water is dosed in empty drum to clean the drumafter each batch Add fiber in the rotating drum Then addchipssandcementwater in the concrete mixer and continue normal operationFordosing in Ready Mix TruckAdd fibers in small lots in the rotating drum After dosing iscomplete allow extra 2030 revolutions of drum at maximum RPMForManual Mixing CPP0612Put fibers in a bucket of water and stir it so that fibersdisperse in water Spread the water and fibre mixture on the dry cementatiousmixDOSAGEFor crack prevention 500to 1000gmm3For Fire Protection of Concrete 10 30 Kgm3As primary reinforcement 10 40 Kgm3 depending onconditions requiredThe above mentioned dosage is just a guideline It is recommendedto optimize the dosage depending on the requirement
