Monofilament Fibre – 100% Virgin Polypropylene (19mm) is a high-performance synthetic reinforcement fibre used to enhance the strength, durability, and crack-resistance of concrete and mortar. With its extended 19mm fibre length, this product provides exceptional performance in industrial flooring, precast elements, R.C.C structures, pavements, shotcrete, overlays, and heavy-load applications. These fibres disperse uniformly throughout the concrete mix, forming a 3D reinforcement network that significantly reduces plastic shrinkage, prevents micro-cracking, and enhances impact and abrasion resistance. The longer fibre length increases bonding strength, improves ductility, and enhances overall load-bearing performance. Being 100% virgin polypropylene, the fibres are corrosion-free, alkali-resistant, chemically inert, and extremely durable, making them an ideal replacement for steel mesh in many applications. Lightweight, economical, and easy to use, they deliver long-lasting durability in both residential and industrial construction. Perfect for builders, contractors, precast industries, flooring specialists, and waterproofing professionals demanding reliable crack-control and high-performance reinforcement. ✅ TECHNICAL DATA Product Type: 100% Virgin Polypropylene Monofilament FibreLength: 19 mmDiameter: ~20–40 microns (typical tolerance)Specific Gravity: 0.91Melting Point: 160–170°CTensile Strength: 400–500 MPa (typical)Elastic Modulus: 4.0–6.0 GPaWater Absorption: NoneAcid & Alkali Resistance: ExcellentThermal Conductivity: Very lowElectrical Conductivity: Zero (non-conductive)Appearance: Clear/white monofilament fibresMoisture Absorption: ZeroCompatibility: Suitable with all types of cement, admixtures & pozzolansDispersion: Uniform distribution without clumping ✅ RECOMMENDED DOSAGE Concrete: 1.0 – 1.8 kg per m³ Industrial Screed: 1.5 – 2.0 kg per m³ Heavy-duty floors: 1.5 – 2.5 kg per m³ Plaster/Mortar: 150 – 250 g per 50 kg cement Shotcrete: 1.2 – 2.0 kg per m³ ✅ BENEFITS & ADVANTAGES Superior control of plastic shrinkage & micro-cracks Enhances tensile strength, ductility & durability Improves impact, fatigue & abrasion resistance Increases flexural toughness & bonding Provides a 3D fibre reinforcement system Corrosion-free (unlike steel fibres) Chemically inert & alkali-resistant Reduces bleeding, segregation & cold joints Safe, lightweight & easy to mix ✅ APPLICATION AREAS Industrial flooring & heavy-duty concrete R.C.C columns, beams & slabs Pavements, runways & hardstand areas Precast concrete & blocks Shotcrete & tunnel linings Water tanks, retaining walls & reservoirs Repair mortars & overlays Screeds & large slab pours
