Polypropylene fiber length is different, the application scenario is also different.
Short polypropylene fibers have different applications based on their length.
Short Polypropylene Fibers
Application scenarios:
1.Best used in concrete to reduce early plastic cracking and enhance crack resistance, commonly used in concrete floors and slabs.
2.Suitable for applications requiring high fiber dispersion as they distribute more evenly within the material.
Advantages:
Good dispersion, cost-effective due to less loss during production and use.
Disadvantages:
Slightly weaker reinforcement effect compared to long fibers, may not be suitable for high-strength and toughness requirements.
Long Polypropylene Fibers:
Application scenarios:
Typically used in high-demand concrete structures like bridges and tunnels to improve crack, impact, and seismic resistance significantly.
Provide better durability and corrosion resistance in industrial areas such as chemical storage tanks and wastewater treatment facilities.
Advantages:
Stronger reinforcement effect, higher strength, and toughness for special engineering projects.
Disadvantages:
Difficulty in dispersion, requiring special construction techniques for uniform fiber distribution, potentially higher cost.
