What Is The Best Polypropylene Fiber To Add To Concrete?

2025/07/07 15:06

There are many types of polypropylene fibers, such as polypropylene macro fibers, steel-like fibers, polypropylene monofilament fibers, polypropylene twisted fibers, Polypropylene(PP) mesh fibers, etc. So, which type of fiber is the best to add to concrete? It needs to be judged comprehensively based on various factors such as the application scenario of the concrete, performance requirements (such as crack resistance, water permeability, enhanced toughness, etc.), construction conditions and cost. Here is an analysis of the characteristics and application scenarios of each type of polypropylene fiber, as well as our selection suggestions. You can choose based on your actual needs.


Type   of demand

Recommended fiber

Advantages

Anti-early plastic shrinkage

Polypropylene Micro Fiber, Polypropylene   Mesh Fiber

Good dispersion、Prevent   initiation of microcracks

Resistance to cracking &Shock   resistance

Polypropylene macro fiber

High strength、High   tenacity、Prevent crack propagation and resist   external force impacts

Mass concrete

Polypropylene macro fiber

Prevent temperature cracks and enhance   the integrity of the structure

Impervious、explosion-proof

Polypropylene mesh fiber、Polypropylene   macro fiber

 

Form a network structure to enhance the   impermeability; release pressure at high temperatures to reduce the risk of   cracking

Low-cost anti-cracking

Polypropylene micro fiber,

Polypropylene twisted fiber

Lower price, suitable for the general   requirements of anti-cracking in engineering projects

Damp &Corrosive Environment

Polypropylene macro   fiber,

Polypropylene fiber

Prevent metal corrosion and have better   durability
