Plastic concrete fibre

Description

Plastic concrete fibre

Plastic concrete fiber is a good alternative to rebar in some concrete structures. Concrete plastic fibers, composed of a natural polymer structure with identical bonds of propylene, have been designed with a sine diagram appearance to better inhibit cement matrix and high grip length in concrete.

These plastic fibers are specially used in concrete flooring and can serve as a suitable alternative to rebar in this application. The fibers reduce the shrinkage of both fresh and hardened concrete and increase the concrete’s resistance to impact and fatigue. Incorporating plastic fibers into concrete improves its long-term durability and structural properties, while also controlling secondary or thermal cracks. Additionally, these fibers can enhance the concrete’s resistance to thermal stresses caused by concrete shrinkage.

Plastic concrete fiber is added to concrete to improve its strength and durability. Their use enhances the concrete’s load-bearing capacity and reduces cracking. Plastic fibers help control the shrinkage of concrete and minimize cracks. They also function as secondary reinforcement, helping to control plastic shrinkage cracks and settlement cracks, thus improving the properties of both fresh and hardened concrete. Ultimately, concrete strengthened with these plastic fibers offers a sustainable solution for improving concrete performance.

Features Plastic concrete fiber

• Lower cost compared to reinforced concrete with rebar
• Increased tensile, shear, and bending strength of concrete
• Prevention of corrosion in concrete due to the use of polymer-based materials
• Prevention of thermal cracks in concrete
• Enhanced durability of concrete against fatigue
• Improved impact resistance of concrete
• Increased resistance of concrete to thermal stresses caused by shrinkage
• Creation of a bridge between cracks and joints
• Improved dynamic resistance of concrete
• Strengthening the concrete’s stability against tension
• Improved stability of concrete against thermal shock and explosion
• Increased flexural energy absorption and long-term stability
• Enhanced resistance to seismic forces and live loads
• Easy to apply
• Helps control and reduce cracking and fissures
• Resistant to chemicals and corrosive environments
• Lightweight, making it easy to handle and install

How to use

Plastic concrete fiber can be added to the concrete mix or shotcrete mortar in various ways:

1. Adding fibers at the concrete manufacturing plant.
2. Adding fibers at the project site (manual concrete mixing).
3. Adding fibers to the truck mixer at the project site.

Note that for every cubic meter of concrete, mixing should be done for at least one minute to ensure the plastic fibers are thoroughly integrated with the concrete mix and uniformly distributed throughout.
