Polypropylene fiber MicroArm 12, 18 mm
INTENDED USE
POLYPROPYLENE FIBER «MicroArm» The fiber is intended for construction of screeds, floors in warehouses, garages, industrial premises, for production of road pavements, cellular concrete, sprayed concrete, as well as for construction of jointless concrete industrial floors exposed to high mechanical loads (airplane sheds, logistics centers, hydroelectric power plants, road pavements).
PROPERTIES
The use of MicroArm polypropylene fiber «MicroArm» in construction of screeds, floors, road pavements reduces internal stresses in products, ensures homogeneous and uniform reinforcement of concrete mix as compared with metal mesh, thus increasing the finished product strength and service life.
APPLICATION BENEFITS:
- Higher impact resistance
- Improved abrasion resistance properties of surfaces
- Lower water absorption
- Higher frost resistance
- Mortars are more convenient for placing
- Reduced segregation of cement-sand concrete
- Prevention of shrinkage cracks up to 70%
- Reduced drying shrinkage
- Improved chemical resistance
- Improved bending tensile strength
- Substantially increased resistance to shock and vibration loads
- Higher resistance of concrete to fire
