Multifilament Straight Fibres

Multifilament Straight Fibres (STRONGPLAST) 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. These are available in multiples of 3 mm, 5 mm and 6 mm. This product is used @ 0.9 kg /m3 of plaster or concrete (minimum). STRONGPLAST complies with ASTM C 1116 and ACI committee report 544-1R.

The key actions of STRONGPLAST are as follows:

• 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
