MasterFiber PP Macro Fibers

BASF Construction Solutions GmbH

Description

MasterFiber PP macro fibres as high-performance reinforcement for concrete.

Using PP fibers to replace classic steel reinforcement

, MasterFiber polypropylene macro fibers are made of extruded polypropylene. Master Builders Solutions ' macro fibers transmit tensile forces between crack banks and significantly increase the ductility of concrete components.

The load-bearing effect of the macro fibres can be statically assessed. As a result, steel fibres and steel reinforcement can be partially or completely replaced.

More Over

Fields of application of PP macro fibres

  • Ideally suited for thin components with complicated geometry (easy installation of the reinforcement, no corrosion)
  • Precast concrete elements
  • Façade panels
  • Industrial floors / traffic areas
  • Manhole and pipe systems
  • Tank construction
  • Shotcrete in tunnelling
  • Landscaping

Most important advantages of PP fibres

  • Improve the ductility of concrete components
  • Increase the post-crack bending tensile strengths and impact strength of concrete
  • Reduce cracking due to drying shrinkage and temperature gradients
  • Good chemical resistance (acid and alkali resistance)
  • No risk of corrosion
