Polypropylene fibers - aka synthetic fibers - are used in cement mixes mainly to control early cracking from plastic shrinkage.
This is more valid for the so called
- micro-synthetic fibers or
- monofilament fibers
which are the biggest market for the polypropylene / synthetic fibers for concrete.
They give a smooth finish due to their small size and thus they are used for stamped,architectural or decorative concrete.
Advantages
- they increase the durability of the concrete
- they increase shatter resistance and abrasion resistance
- reduced bleeding and freeze / thaw damage
Usual dosage: 0,6-0,9kg/m3 of concrete
There are also fibrillated fibers which deliver max post peak flexural strength and they are preferably used for screeds and especially for floor heating projects.
Usual dosage: 1kg/m3 of concrete
And of course there are also the structural or macro-synthetic polypropylene / synthetic fibers which are thicker and bigger and can compete with metallic / steel fibers and traditional steel wire mesh and rebar. They are used mainly for slabs-on-ground and composite metal decks.
Usual dosage: 2kg/m3 of concrete
