Overview To improve pull-off strength and reinforce for use in various products including plaster, paints, epoxy and coatings, 3mm cut length polypropylene fibres are now available. Multi-Purpose Applications
Overview Macro structural synthetic fibres are an engineered polypropylene fibre used for structural reinforcement in concrete, temperature and shrinkage control. Macro fibres are used as a replacement for steel mesh and steel fibre reinforcement for following applications. Benefits Increase concrete compressive strength Macro fibres replace steel mesh and rebar in flooring Easy to finish Safer …
Overview Design of concrete pavements has remained the same for decades, however with the traffic and axle loads on pavements have continued to multiply. In concrete pavement, critical stresses are developed due to the combined effect of flexural stresses due to wheel load and positive temperature differential leading to initiation of cracks. Adding fibers to …
Overview Concrete has micro cracking at the interface of aggregate and cement paste (A. M. Neville). Marine concrete is exposed to harsh environment of high winds laden with moisture, salts and fine sand that results in corrosion and surface erosion. To improve concrete durability, US Navy recommends micro reinforcement with fibrillated polypropylene fibres (UFGS-03 31 …
Overview Industrial flooring is exposed to variety of stresses including surface abrasion, impact and vibratory loads concentrated at the edge of the machines. Concrete by nature is brittle and tends to cracks. Adding micro-3-dimensional reinforcement improves the performance of the flooring by reducing cracks up to 80%. Duracrete Fibre has been is use for almost …
