Description:

• Collated fibrillated polypropylene tape fiber manufactured from 100% virgin homopolymer polypropylene.
  
• Fiber bundle design, comprised of main and cross fibrils, which break down into mini-bundles during mixing, opening like a net.
  
• Hydrophobic (repels water), chemically inert, non-corrosive, non-magnetic.
  
• 0.75” (19 mm).
  
• Meets ASTM C1116 and ICC ES AC32.

Dosage:

• Typically 1.5 pound/y³ (0.9kg/m³)
  
• Can be used in applications where dosage level is two pounds and above, i.e. UTW.

Value/Benefit in Concrete:

• As plastic shrinkage reinforcement, reduces initial cracking and settlement.
  
• As secondary reinforcement is more effective than wire mesh in preventing shrinkage cracking.
  
• Enhances bond due to lattice network design.
  
• Good critical fiber spacing to reduce micro-macro cracking.
  
• Produces low-maintenance longer-life-cycle concrete with reduced permeability, improved abrasion and impact resistance and fatigue strength.
  

• Interior/exterior, industrial/commercial slabs
  
• Shotcrete and Gunite
  
• Cast-in-place
  
• Elevated decks
  
• Environmental containment
  
• Ultra-thin whitetopping (UTW)
