Poly Propylene Fibers
Why Use Synthetic Fibers?
| Compare | Poly Propylene Fiber | Welded Wire Mesh |
|---|---|---|
| Crack reduction (due to plastic shrinkage) | [fa class="fa-check"] Yes (Up to 80%) | [fa class="fa-close"] No |
| Extends life of concrete | [fa class="fa-check"] Yes (increases durability and both abrasion and impact force resistance) | [fa class="fa-close"] No |
| Rustproof and corrosion resistant | [fa class="fa-check"] Yes | [fa class="fa-close"] No |
| Reinforces throughout concrete depth | [fa class="fa-check"] Yes (three-dimensional reinforcement; See Figure 1) | [fa class="fa-close"] No |
| Ease of application | [fa class="fa-check"] Yes (Fibrasol comes mixed in concrete) | [fa class="fa-close"] No (difficult and sometimes dangerous to handle and place) |
| Cost effective | [fa class="fa-check"] Yes (requires less labor) | [fa class="fa-close"] No |
