IDGFiber® PPF

IDGFiber® PPF is a fibrillated polypropylene fiber for use in fiber reinforced concrete. IDGFiber® PPF is
primarily used for the purpose of providing secondary/temperature shrinkage reinforcement in
concrete. The fibrillated pattern of IDGFiber® PPF optimizes the mechanical bond between the mortar
matrix and fiber networks providing better control of plastic shrinkage cracking and plastic settlement
cracking. IDGFiber® PPF provides a good alternative to welded wire fabric in light commercial and residential
slab-on-grade applications. IDGFiber® PPF meets the requirements of ASTM C-1116, Type III fiber. Fibers
should be added to the concrete mix at a rate of 900gm/m3.

USES:

IDGFiber® PPF acts mechanically by reinforcing the concrete with multidimensional fiber network coated
with mortar. IDGFiber® PPF can be used in all types of concrete.

Typical applications include:

Residential and commercial slab-on-grade, decks, precast elements, etc.

The IDGFiber® PPF can decrease plastic and drying shrinkage cracking and increase impact resistance in
concrete. In case concrete is exposed to fire, the presence of IDGFiber® PPF in concrete reduces the
explosive spalling.
