I. Product Introduction

  Polypropylene mesh fiber, also known as mesh polypropylene fiber, mesh fiber, and polypropylene fiber mesh, is made from modified polypropylene as a raw material, processed through extrusion, stretching, networking, surface modification, and short cutting. The fiber has a mesh structure formed by the interconnection of multiple fiber monofilaments.

Polypropylene Mesh Fiber

    When the mesh fiber is added to the concrete, it is squeezed and torn into single filaments with hooks at both ends and interlocked in a multi-directional distribution, enhancing the bonding force between the fiber and the concrete. A large number of fibers are three-dimensionally distributed in the concrete, providing a mesh support, fundamentally changing the crack resistance, impact resistance, fatigue resistance, and wear resistance of the concrete, greatly improving the toughness and deformation capacity of the concrete, and thus significantly improving the quality of concrete engineering. As a new type of concrete reinforcing fiber, polypropylene mesh fiber is becoming a new hotspot in the field of scientific research and application of fiber concrete.

II. Performance Parameters

III. Main Functions and Principles

  During the hardening process of cement concrete, concrete volume shrinkage occurs, and in the later stage, drying shrinkage occurs due to water evaporation in the concrete. When these shrinkage stresses exceed the basic tensile strength of the cement, microcracks will occur. Most crack reduction is completed during the gelation period, when the tensile strength of the concrete is very small. After adding polypropylene mesh fiber to the concrete, the fiber can quickly and evenly distribute in the concrete to form a three-dimensional random support system, dispersing the directional stress of the concrete and preventing the occurrence and development of original cracks in the concrete. Eliminating or reducing the number and length of microcracks can greatly improve the impermeability of concrete, enhance toughness, and thus extend the service life of concrete.
