Approx. Rs 300 / KgGet Latest Price

Multifilament Straight Construction Fibre is chemically surface treated 100% Virgin high tenacity polypropylene straight fibre based cement, mortar (plaster) and concrete additive and is available in graded lengths. It provides 3-D micro-reinforcement to plasters as well as concretes.

• Provides inherence micro-reinforcement against shrinkage and intrinsic cracking.
• Reduces rebound losses in plasters to 60-70%.
• Reduces bleeding and dust formation in concrete.
• Improves impact resistance 3-4 times.
• Improves abrasion resistance by 30-40%.
• Gives residual strength to concrete thereby helping reduce sudden failures. This is a desirable characteristic of concrete in areas prone to earthquakes.
• Reduces permeability and thus protects interior paint in plasters.
• Reduction in permeability also helps protect reinforcement steel in concrete applications.
• Makes the concrete more durable.
• Makes hardened concrete more tough.
• Improves speed and finishing of plasters.

• Internal and external plasters.
• Industrial flooring.
• Warehouse flooring.
• Concrete Roads.
• RCC Beams, Columns & Slabs.
• Bridge decks.
• Driveways.
• Overlays / toppings.
• Concrete tanks.
• Precast elements.
• Shotcrete / guniting.
• Basement waterproofing.
• All types of plasters, precast elements and concretes, where toughness is required along with elimination of shrinkage cracks, reduction in permeability (improved water resistance) and various other parameters mentioned above.

Properties:

Important information for our buyers:

• Dosage for plasters : 100-125 g / 50 kg cement bag as recommended by designer.
• Dosage for concrete : Minimum 0.9 kg / m3 of concrete i.e. @125 g /50 kg bag of cement.
• Water Cement Ratio : STRONGPLAST is a physical micro-reinforcement and does not react chemically hence additional water is not required.
• Mixing process : Mix directly in the concrete mixer @ 125 g /50 kg bag of cement or 0.9 kg/m³.
• For plastering applications dry mix with sand cement mortar before adding water.
• Note : Fibres should not be used for replacement of structural or load bearing reinforcement.
