Polypropylene fibers for secondary reinforcement of concrete and mortar. FIBERPLUS synthetic fibers are high quality polypropylene fibers, created specifically for concrete admixture and cement-based mortars. Reinforcement with fibers is the ideal treatment for cracks due to drying shrinkage and temperature changes.
Special characteristics
- The use of FIBERPLUS fibers also provides two main advantages over the application of conventional reinforcement:
- Simple application
- Lower cost
Applications
- Plasters & Repair Mortars
- Reinforced Concrete Constructions
- Manufacture of Prefabricated Concrete & Cement Products
- Industrial Floor Tiles
- Launched Concrete (Gunite)
- FIBERPLUS fibers is the ideal treatment for cracks due to drying shrinkage and temperature changes.
- The addition of FIBERPLUS does not require any modification in the traditional way of making concrete and mortars (proportions of cement, aggregates, water).
- The addition of FIBERPLUS to concrete creates a three-axis reinforcement, evenly distributed throughout the mass, which works from the first moment of coagulation.
- In contrast, joint reinforcement works for at least 8 hours after concreting, at which point tensions between steel and concrete can develop.
Therefore resists cracking in both plastic and hardened forms of concrete.
- 70% increase in initial strength during the first 24 hours
- Increased impact resistance
- Increased abrasion resistance
- Increased elasticity and therefore fatigue resistance
