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